All I see is an A5 from the rear 3/4 obviously the front is beyond hideous.

I know the Chinese market go mad for big grills but surely from pedestrian safety standpoint that front end is a no goer? Eh?

How different can a saloon-based mass market 2+2 coupe be...??

Modern grills ARE the pedestrian safety measure. Deformable and act like a large cushion(ish)

Are you for real? You honestly think it looks basically the same as an A5 from that angle? Are you blind?

Looks like a fat fella's chrome-trimmed arse cheeks to me. It was those two goons who really made me laugh though. They look like low rent mid-life crisis 80's porn extras. Their suits appear to have been pressed by a rockslide

Shh..... He's just having an Anti-BMW rant. It's not meant to be factual let alone accurate. It's possibly break time at school. He obviously wasn't around in the 80s when all cars of this genre were just boxes and really DID look the same in all but lights.

Have you seen many Fat Fella's chrome-trimmed arse cheeks? Or is it just a fantasy for you?

Other than THAT grille, what has happened to the Hofmeister kink? Surely the second most recognisable BMW styling cue (even though most people don't really realise it)

As mentioned above, it has been inverted so that it just looks like the default Audi upper glass line

Bang the grill off the 8 series on it and you have one hell of a car.

Perhaps BMW have a bad case of Emperor’s new clothes.

“Yes boss, we all think your new grille design looks great, really”

Defo colour blind.
