It may be a small percentage of people that like it (i would estimate 20%), but its a large aggregate number. There is a better chance than not that it will sell to BMW's expectations.
Also, statistically I am discounting for the phenomenon I would describe as "forum hatred," in which everyone complains about nearly everything. This phenomena often doesn't translate to real-life experiences, the opinion of the general public (i.e., non enthusiast) or actual sales dollars.
I disagree and love the way the car looks (so far). However, I will not pass judgement until I can see the car in it's entirety.
