    If I can ever find that pattern of contact paper I'm:
    1.) Re-covering the shelves in my kitchen.
    2.) Playing a cruel joke on my hippie friends.
    3.) Making a fake M3 ala. Winding Road's Blue Devil.

    Hard to tell from this shot, but I think this looks a bit more E39-like than the last one. Which is a good thing.

    The shape is nice, but it just looks "fatter" than the BMWs of old. I realise that they couldn't go back to that deadend of design, but I feel, from what I can see, this design is neither adventurous nor classically beautiful enough. Bangle may have polarised people, but he had a mojo. Here's hoping I'm wrong, and this is as sweet as the new Z4 (even though I prefer the old Z4's style, it was a madness of surfaces that might well be considered art).

    Very aboriginal.

    Against a non-architectural background, this is really a dangerous paint scheme. The car damn near disappears.

    The long near-fastback roofline is nice, it's good for aero but I bet they're sacrificing rear seat headroom to the mighty and terrible Style Demons.

    Honestly, you don't have to include a picture with any upcoming BMW model. No matter how it looks most everyone will say how much they hate it, and the only respectable models were the E39 5 series or the E 30/36 3 series.

    It's like a current 5 series with two more creases in the hood/bonnet. I guess they got the lazy f**kers from the Porsche design team to give it a makeover.

    @layabout now with V8 power: So, since Porsche has a pretty much perfect design that has stayed current for 40-50 years, and that engineering, not designers usually dictate the lines at their company they're lazy?


    I'm waiting to see more of this car before passing judgement, could be good, could be bad, hopefully the former.
