@ megz, perfect! : )

It's a pretty small DDD.

Small? Looks just the same size as brawn's.

nope, not even close

I saw a long interview with Mario Theissen. He said that BMW had to change their front end to accomodate the new DDD rear end. Now they have the first step of the new car and they will continue to develop this new concept.

All their testing time is completely dedicated to the aero setup and evaluation. They cannot afford the time to do anything with KERS while they are playing catch up.

I think they could be the team which was caught out worst with the DDD legalization.

It does seem to be that way.

Brawns is much wider.

I can't believe that with all the computing power at their disposal, Albert2 still says "Yeah, those half bathtubs for front wing endplates are perfect. trust me."

[ISLAMATRON]

Added an Extension to the DDD, just as Toyota gets rid of theirs

They've been there since the launch, only they were white.

I wonder if BMW ever tried experimenting with a different style of end plate? hmm.. same ole endplate from the beginning of the season.

Nov. 17 front wing pic


Nearly no difference

more pics of the hacked 08 BMW here

For comparison, Boxy end plates of Honda Nov. 17:


A little off topic, but does the nose look similar to the actual Ferrari? (with a lot of imagination )

Small differences in front wings.
