maybe it will look better in person? :think:

The Hatch+trunk design is kinda strange. If you have a hatch, why would you need that little bitty trunk opening?

Looks like Bangle's designs still lives on past his departure. I understand the difficulty in trying to evolve the look of a sedan while keeping the heavy branded BMW elements in place. However, some of the designs from them and M-B recently illustrate that making a change just for the sake of change isn't always the best plan.

BMW seems to like the fastback look and it was only a matter of time until they tried to incorporate it into a 3-5 series. This one has some utility and innovation but it just needs some refinement to the wrapper.

They took a pretty good looking car (the 5 series) and in every single way that they changed it, they managed to make it look worse.

I had high hopes for BMW after seeing the new Z4, which I thought looked really good inside and out.

HAHAHA! just when I thought BMW messed up on the X6. They decided to keep pushing that stupied back end of there's. It looks as stupied as the porsche panamara, which isnt selling at all
