BMW. These days, it’s regularly inflaming extremely online car fans with new design after new design, which pretty much seems to be the goal. But with every other recent model being hoisted up as the worst looking of them all, it gets kind of hard to keep track. So today we’ve assembled a list of the Bimmers you think are the ugliest. I’m pleased to say the models chosen actually went further back than 2019! Good job everyone!
Here is the winner! Instead of bringing us a 5-door hatch or proper wagon, we got some weird mashup of a tall 5-series and an X6. They look somewhat normal from the front but the rear and side profile are vomit-inducing. Honestly, it looks like an X6 that shrunk and got fat and unathletic in old age. At least the X6 looks sporty-ish.

The new 5 series. The iX and XM are both pretty bad, but they both have no history. So they have started out ugly and that’s their niche.
The 5 series has historically been the best looking BMW in the lineup. And the way they absolutely butchered its proportions and details on the most recent model is criminal. It’s too tall, too narrow, and the trunk is pin-headed. The grille looks like a mistake. I hate it with my whole soul. Partly for what it is, but also for what it should have been.

Anyone remember the iVision Circular concept from 2021?
The interior is equally hideous

how has no one mentioned the e65 7 series yet?
Suggested by: DrScientist
They have some horrid cars throughout their history but they’ve really topped themselves with the new 7 series

Can’t decide between the XM or the iX - both entirely revolting.
I think I have to give it to the iX on account of BMW’s tonedeaf reply of “OK boomer” on Twitter to folks correctly identifying its catastrophic styling.

The late ‘90s gave us the 316 hatchback. It’s just... sad.

How is the XM not the top answer? It is unexcusably hideous, isn’t particularly fast for how much power it has, and costs a small fortune.

Posting this in the hope that with enough stars the prices will plummet and I can convince Mrs. Paaron that we need one. Help me out here.
I have to say it, even though it’ll get me canceled from car world: this thing deserves placement on this list fully on merit. It’s not the worst, but it ranks. Also, BMW obviously knew what it was doing when it shot this in front of the word “clown.”

My vote might be the current 4-series coupe, which looks awful from every angle. New 2-series is awful and the iX is hideous as well. But with the current trend, the correct answer is probably: whichever car BMW comes out with NEXT.
