I知 of the opinion that everyone (including me) were completely wrong about the e60 M5. Of course it痴 easy to say that now but back then the backlash was ugly. BMW had to have that sort of revolution for us to get the cars we have today. This is that all over again. And this time I知 jumping in! With a little bit of time this design will grow on us. And in 6 years you値l get your M8 styled evolution again |

Tough to tell but it's actually the same bumper. In one pic where somebody brightened up the black/white one you can see that secondary splitter in the intake.

I agree. And they also managed to do that without that scar on the face called hood line... Go figure

There's almost no BMW in this new design. The F8X series sold well, there was no reason to do this. |

I don't see any resemblance whatsoever, but that Giulia is gorgeous and drives like a dream! Shame about the reliability and dealer network though.

I was recently in Munich doing some test drives and the Concept 4 at BMW Welt looks flat out amazing in person! I'm still getting used to the large grille and its shape, but I think blacked out it will look spectacular. I'm starting to come aboard.

But that's the concept, with no hood-line, big wheels, small mirrors and slim headlights and disregarding crash protection standards. Production model sadly won't look as good.

You know when journalists are starting to comment on the ADD design choices of BMW that we have an actual problem.
At least this new car is definitely recognizable--well, from the front. It's hideous enough to be impossible to mistake. The rear is just every new car, maybe more Lexus.
