Still a terrible color, but I have to admit, these "real world" photos are SOOOOO much better. I really like the shape and look now. It's actually a great looking car. Thank you for the better photos. Very much appreciated.

I love this concept and it's one of the best designs to come from BMW since Bangle ruined it.

Totally agree. It's awesome. Bmw styling is always decent but has been lacking imagination recently, this concept moves things on.

I'm right there with you guys! I think the lower front fascia could be a little better in terms of look and materials (the lower grille painted with large holes should have been something along the lines of black mesh grille IMO), and the paint is hideous, but other than that it's awesome. I think a lot more people would like it and the design lines if it was white with M tri-color stripes. The loud paint is the first thing you notice about the car and no matter how good the concept or design elements of it are, it's hard for people to find anything positive about it if their first thought is outstandingly negative, like "Damn that paint is hideous". It doesn't give the rest of the car a fighting chance.

I like this car a lot! Love the design, the stance and the overall shape
I even like the color, because it just fits the retro feeling...
Guess they took color inspiration from this

[Matski]

I very much agree with Dack's comments.

Whilst I don't love it, I find it fascinating to look at. The grille is still to bling, but the shape is great and I do think some of the details are awesome.

Overall I'd give it an 8/10

[RingMeister01]

Like others have said; give it an i8 grill (open another path for necessary cooling not using grills) and remove bolt-on airfoils.

Do this and id take one in white in a heart beat.

I like this design.....not for everyone from what I read hear.....but that's a good thing!

One thing I do really like are the wheels. Remind me of the E39 M5 wheels, only slicker.

I think the concept looks great. I don't know why people can't just give it a chance. The pictures are fantastic, thanks for the upload

[John_01]

This looks like a body kit for a Subaru. Like the ones some of the cheap ones on ebay that you order direct from overseas. I'm just shaking my head.

[GRUESOM3]

Looks like sponge bob and batman designed it

[111R]

The styling is way too busy and will not age well.

I think they already did.

and some e46 m3 gills lol.

so weird victor - I always end up quoting your without realizing it's your profile name until after I post. PK.

Curves in all the right places... So nice.

Well, this is very subjective, but I'm one of those people who appreciates Bangle's styling. So you can't really say he really didn't ruin it -- maybe yes, in your perspective.

In fact, my favorite part of 7 series is the Bangle Butt. And I like clean flow of lines and minimalistic look on his work.

However, I have to agree that older generation cars look good as well.

Brilliant !
