Back looks odd...what ever happened to classic BMW ass ends :(

:doh: ..... i'll get used to it and end up liking it like the rest lol

Horrible. There, i said it. Know what though? I LOVE the new Z4 5, 6 and 7. all of them are amazing cars. i bet you within a few months ill love this too.

what do they call this type of design? flaming edge? flaming ugly? :chuckles:
that huge curve kills the side profile

Those pictures remind me a lot of the BMW 1-series photos and the CS1 concept. Maybe they're mixed up?

What ever happened to the classic BMW's in general. Ever since the 7 came out they just strain the eyes. :( :( I realize everything much change, but.....??

Don't you think that they were aiming for the CS1 concept with the design of the smaller Bimmers? And I'd guess that there would be some strong family resemblance between the 1/3 and 3/4.

With time I will learn to like it...

I wish I could say the same. I never have been and never will be a fan of "gimmicky" car design. I miss classic BMW styling. I admire Audi for staying true to their styling cues over the years. They've managed to keep the same general shapes on nearly all their vehicles while improving it with each redesign. Same thing could be said of Mercedes Benz I suppose.

I'm not growing to like the new Bangle style either...I'm beginning to hate them less, but I have not reached the likeable phase of emotion.

I guess the front end is okay, but the rear is just God-awful-put-a-bullet-in-it.
