Why is it that so often this car looks like it has smaller wheels on the back end? They way they set up the fenders and character lines on the side really mess up the rear 3/4 view.

I'll save my opinion for when I see it in person.

I thought the sedan is going to get the coupe headlights like the M3.
No only a M3 deserves the better looking front.

doesnt seem all that bad. its definitely a lil betta than the original.
this is the most popular / sold bmw there is. they must try to remain as generic as possible for the masses...

the rear now looks like the traditional infiniti tail lights... hood is an improvement > more aggressive.
it'd be interesting to see what they'll do w/ the coupe

I like the little changes.
I've always hated the orange arrow in the headlight.
I like the older side mirrors though.

That hood is horrible...looks like a hood from one of BMW's X stable, must have had some left over that they didn't know what to do with.

the new BMWs.... just not doing it for me overall. they need a lot of help from the aftermarket (e.g. acs/hamann)

The angled taillight section makes it look like there are fitment issues with the trunk.
