[ErnestM]

I really liked the look of the old M1's. Not quite sure of this one, yet. Comments?

Hmm?

Nostalgia tends towards reactionary views, doesn't it?

Looks a hotch potch rather than a future classic.

Bugatti Veyron anyone? I think so anyway.

I don't like the way BM are heading with their new front lights, z4, new 7 series&proposed 6 series. looks embarrased.

[Podie]

Echoes of the VW W12 concept...

Hard to gauge scale from those sketches, but if it was relatively small (assuming it will be if target is under 1000kg) then it could be good in the flesh.

Front and back look like they're straight from existing cars and CS1; the sides look a bit of a mish mash. Despite Bangle you would think they would aim for something a bit more 'beautiful' in this sector.

The side looks just like that Edonis thing and that looked like it had taken a severe beating with the ugly stick.

Rowan Atkinson once explained why classic Ferraris fetched silly money while classic Group B cars didn't: looks.

BMW designers: back to the drawing board

MDG.

Exactly, they look like Ford Ka / Focus lights

Looks like a copy of the Audi Spyder that was never put into production...shame too it was nice,

[Stephen White]

Just plain awful - I don't know what Bangle's on, but he needs help! I can't explain the recent 'One Series' coupe and barchetta concept cars - they look very well proportioned...

[soulpatch]

Even looks like they have included the indicators in this model. Maybe things are looking up

[P*Ting]

I like it...
