This is a truly hideous looking car. That is all.

One of the best looking large sedan ever made. That one doesn't look too bad with the sport bumpers though.

I still would take the old S550 with the older 5.5 liter engine NA engine (Soon to come the torque monster 4.6 liter TT). I don't care about power at this price point. I care about how smooth the car is and how much less I have to think about actually driving while driving. S class > 7 series. I love my S class and I'll probably always have one.

The new Z4 is good looking, aside from that, it has been decades since BMW has made a great looking car. Luckily people read the badge and are convinced the car is pretty.

The long version does look a little dis-proportioned. But the regular length 740i is pretty hot - at least much better than the previous 7 Series...



Also it's one of those cars that looks better in person than in photos, IMO.

To me, BMWs are like pizza. Even when they're bad, they're still pretty good. I just don't see the ugliness. A little blandness maybe, but it's a giant sedan.
