What the hell is in the coffee at BWM when it comes to designing the front of a car......

 

Looks like it was designed by Dyson.

 

Maybe if it wasn't pond slime green.....

Love the picture of Emerson Fittipaldi.

 

Not a fan of the portrait, but love the profile.

 

It's quite something when a manufacturer's marketing models have body kits too tasteless to sell for existing cars.

I think there's a quite attractive car lurking under all that 'decoration' (sorry, should that be spelt 'flame surfacing'?).

It was said that Bill Lyons who started Jaguar expected that if you threw a sheet over a Jaguar, you should still be able to tell that it was a Jaguar from its shape. That was probably true of BMWs once, but now it is the added-on styling tat that distinguishes them from other cars.

 

They promoted the same designers for the F56.

 

As much as I've lambasted the BMW/MINI efforts, I have to admit i kinda like this one, save for the Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks kidney grille.

 

Yep, I definitely like this rendition. The original 3.0CS is on my automobile bucket list.

 

Somebody over on f30post fixed it:

 

Agree that the front looks little cartoonish but overall I actually like it. This is supposed an over the top variant like the original. I actually give them credit for taking chances and allowing a little design for design sake. In the end it may not be for everyone (or anyone as these things go) but it is fun and a little bit mad which is great when, too often, the accounts get to overrule the designers.

 

The quarter view makes it look even busier.



The rear isn't so bad.

 

That is just way beyond even Butt Ugly.

 

I happen to like it.

 

You must be taking Dicks "special" medication from Colorado again. :lol:

 

Eh, no. I just have different taste than you. Get over it.
