I kinda like it. Its design is aggressive, but not over-the-top. And practical too.

I've always like cars that don't look fast, but can embarrass an unsuspecting victim if challenged.

Me likey. It actually seems pretty subdued in styling, which is good.

My first thought was that it's design was about as vanilla as it could get. I think I actually yawned.

it's a far better car, IMHO, with 4 doors.

i like it a lot --but couldn't ever justifying paying the BMW premium for this car, i think, when there will be a lot of 4 door options just as fast, if not faster, for less money.

when the choice is to pay extra just for the Roundel premium, these days, it's hard for me to summon up the buyer's ignorance to do so.

I'll have to see it in person - I think it's less attractive than the white&black coupe pics we've been seeing. In this color & 4-door, the body kit looks tacked on - much less "flowing" than the e46 m3 lines.

Or maybe the e60 m5-ish wheels are making all the wrong associations - reminding me of the nasty looking e60 and making the car look big.

I am officially in love with it. Wonder what the MSRP is going to be?

It looks ok. I'm certain it will cost far more then I would be willing to give for one.
