I've given myself a lot of time to deliberate over this one since the photos leaked...but alas, it's not any better.

I do like parts of the interior, not all of it...but that front end is just utterly hideous. The headlights look like they belong on a much larger vehicle, and when combined with the shark-nose kidney grilles, the whole thing just looks like a lump. There's no real definition to the front end, the bottom of the grilles kind of just goes directly into the lower bumper, taking away any semblance of proper lines. At the top, you can tell there's supposed to be some sharpness to the front end, and then it just vanishes.

Maybe if they had pulled in the rest of the bumper to give it some sharpness, like the E24 M6, it would work; I mean, they did move the roundel onto the bumper and then cut the hood line straight across, just like the E24 or modern Z4...but it doesn't work.

There will be a facelift on this, guaranteed.
