The main reason I dispise the design is because it's not ressembling a BMW (it's lexus to me) and the grill feels like a pure provocation. On an M car with 510hp, I don't prefer the equivalent of a huge middle finger popping up in rear mirror of the vehicle in front.
The board and the designers made it worse by stating: when you're not in favour, you don't understand beauty and evolution. Which is utter crap and confirms they consider their customers to be morons that swallow all they push to us. Never in my book, evolution equaled to ugly. For BMW it does now.
