Happy for others if they love it, like it, or start to like it.

There is a difference with Chanel and the BMW cars he designed. G8x especially has lines that doesn't make sense, design cues from other brands as if he just took all of them and shoved it together in one car. The front grill isn't even the biggest offender, people just zoom in on it because it is the easiest thing to point out. This topic has been more or less discussed to death at this point.
History will judge the G8x cars for what they they probably will be known for. Great performance cars that is unfortunately heavy with a very esoteric design.
I still turn back every time I see a F8x, whether it is M3 or M4. I still flinch every time I see a G8x or the G22.
Edit: This is what Lexus has said about their front grille design grossing out American buyers.
