Its soo long!!! its sexy!

I think it would look much better if the cut about 4-5 inches off the trunk and made the tail a little more aggressive a la Aston Martin or something.

slap some M6 rims on that and we can all breathe easier

Hahahaha...I looked at the photos and instantly thought those were the worst wheels ever chosen for the car. Especially one of that size and price. It just does not help a car look aggressive and streamline when you have wheels that small and tires that thick.

Nogen10 · 01-18-2011, 06:43 PM

Plus, to be honest, I just do not like the way this car looks overall. I could get ute descriptive, but it just does not look anything like I expected the next version to look like. It seems like BMW is pushing it into more of a 2-door family/old-man role instead of being an aggressive, luxury performance machine.

Too long...not well executed design

if you think those will be production spec wheels, you'd be wrong (i hope)

Guess which cost 2x the other...after all these years of development.

Very bland design regardless of the wheels. Whether some people realize it or not, Bangle was a huge loss. Now we're left with conservative and generic designs like this. There should be more to differentiate BMW designs other than headlights and the grill.

nenadbogar · 01-20-2011, 04:09 PM

Thats sweet. Much better then convertible... Yeah definitely needs bigger wheels so you can get a true feeling

front is kinda too long which i dont like

nenadbogar · 01-20-2011, 04:12 PM
