I find it impossibly to judge any new BMW by pictures alone anymore, I always seem to end up liking them in the flesh although as with the rest of its family this one isnt very photogenic!

BMW designers have this funny shit going on lately with thier designs, they all look wierd. I bet this new design philosophy is denting thier sales though.

The new Lexus IS220 looks better as does the new Merc C-Class coming out next year.

At least they're tried to address the truly awful rear end on the current saloon. But then again, it's only a modest improvement ...

One might have thought so.

You couldn't be more wrong - they're one of the few manufacturers on the up!

But pig-ugly is the new attractive, or something.

At least the back doesn't look like a Mitsi Charisma any more. I think it looks like a mini 6 series.

I still don't like it though
