Is it just me, or does it appear in this 'closer-to-production' model Palbay just posted (with the real M side mirrors) they have opened up the breather in the mule camo? Most every other photo (including Palbay's OP photos) seem to show it sealed across. Wouldn't be much point opening up a camo slit for a dead-end decorative only vent like all the models currently in production have... Will be interesting to see if wind tunnel testing indicated the M actually needs a functional Breather.

I know I'm not crazy, and I EXPECT the X3M to have wider rubber... but don't the 20" wheels look the same to everyone? I can tell the rears stick out more for one, as they're probably wider as well (maybe a 20x10 instead of a 20x9.5)... (see bottom of PAGE 1) but they look wider than just a 255F/285R from a 245F/275R. Anyone know anything about the shoes under the X3M?

It also seems that there is no suspension drop and no signature M fender flares that could be causing issues with the aerodynamics / CD. Open air breathers anyone? Grilles appear to be similar to the G01 but are they active? You would expect the front end to be more aggressive than the M40i but I see the same "wavy honeycomb" plastic and slit in the front end. The holes across the bottom are a new addition. These are just quick observations and will reserve judgment until it is officially released. It would be a nice surprise to see it at the NYIAS but doubt it.
