the front looks *okay* but the rear of the car looks hideous

I'm not liking the direction BMW is heading....is that Bangle asshole still there?

Actually I like the rear better than the front. I think this car will look very impressive looking at it up close.

Front looks fine. So do sides, but what is up with that rear deck spoiler. It reminds me of a duck-billed platipus.

awesome! Everytime I see new pics of that car it look better and better. That front shot is sweet, kinda has a G35 coupe profile. The back's not bad, it looks like a Carrera except for the trunk spoiler.

CHRIS BANGLE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does the one of the greatest car companies in the world get the bright idea to hire the designer that was FIRED for designing the Aztek.

Is it just me, or were some of the BMW's designed in the 90's the best looking ones or what? I am specifically referring to the 8 series...... the most beautiful BMW's ever

Ya, i agree, ill have to wait and see it in person...the Z4 looks like diareah in the pics, but in person it just looks like your normal, everyday log shit, so not as bad, but still pritty bad...but looking at the pics of this, it dosnt look too too bad....well just have to wait and see.

Hmm, ya the Z4 does look like shit IMO too. I'll have to wait for the final pics. The only thing throwing me off is the trunk. Whats up with BMWs and rear ends now? 7 series, and now 6 series. I hope the 5 doesn't suffer too.

Might be a generation of cheezy BMWs.

I'll wait and give judgement once the final pics are out

It looks alright but just doesn't invoke any of the excitment of say the 850...and that rear end has to go! Ugh!
