Umm, the rear looks like the Honda Civic. :-/ And the headlights merging with the grille looks terrible. Bumper vents are 2015 Hyundai Sonata-ish.
BMW seems to have found itself stuck in a corner when it comes to design. There's only so much one can do with kidney grills and the Hoff kink. |

I'm so happy they fixed the hood cut line where it meets the front bumper. That's a huge improvement in it's own right. The rest looks a bit soft but, I'm sure the M sport will give a good dose of sportiness.

exactly. i hope that random cutline above the headlights doesnt make it to production. that looks awful. the rear is a mix between the 4 and the 6.. so i guess it makes sense its the 5. i dont like the lower bumper on the front and hopefully the rear has functional exhaust tips and not just trim to mimic it.
it really just looks like another LCI of the f10 to me.

Love the rear, dislike the front. The headlights lack flow.

It doesn't exactly address your statement (yes, car models keep moving up in size and market), but all future BMW RWD cars, starting with the G30 5-series, will be built on the same platform.
