All I can think of with that grille is a bucktooth guppy.

Absolutely horrible.

It's funny, but you know what? It proves that the car looks quite ok/good except for the nostrils.

Yeah, the sedan is fine. Even if the tail lights are a little too much out of the Lexus parts catalog.

Hideous. Like they ran out of ideas but then cobbled a bunch from other manufacturers and you have to wonder what this looked like during the artistic process. How on earth did this design get the final sign off?

BMW is becoming more and more like the Dieter from Sprockets of auto design.

No, it doesn't.

Put down the Kool-Aid and spit out what you haven't already swallowed

I don't hate it. It's over-styled and not pretty, but so was the f80 IMHO. There hasn't been a good looking m3 since the e46.

Not a big difference. It'll do the job if in a good color (I like this particular gray/silver) and with a MT.

You guys need to get your eyes and gag reflex checked.

It's less bad in these pictures than in the release pictures for whatever reason. But less bad is still really bad.

I hadn't really focused on the nosering/PDC sensor.
