Definately a chop as far as I can tell. The rear right roofline of the car seems to dive away too much in comparison to what we can see on the left hand side...
I could be wrong... I hope I'm not though. I don't like the treatment of the front at all.. this has jumped into the spot of my least favourite looking BMW... a spot that was previously occupied by the X1.
The upsweep on the insides of the head lights isn't unprecidented in BMW design, but, IMO is an ugly mistake. I would buy any E8x 1 series.. (except the 'vert).. I would not buy this.
