The flat top looks masculine Fake headlight cutout is ridiculous, so is oversized foglights. Show more rear, banana cars are ambiguous. The side cutout looks like a tack-on bandaid.

Anything to phase out the current 1. It looks like a bathtub crossed with some sort of ugly insect. What an embarrassment for BMW...

By what criteria is BMW the "leading premium automaker"? I'm not here to deny them the laurels if they have them, I'm just unclear whether this is editorializing by Thami Masemola. People like their marques, it would just be nice if the staff could present the facts. Aside from the foglights, it's not so bad; it's kind of like the old 2002 or the 3.0CSI, which IMO was the most beautiful car they ever made.

It means they sell more cars than any other premium car manufacturer in the world. This is a fact from sales figures not personal opinions.

@tbrodie These big things you call foglights arent foglights... Big german car magazine "Auto Bild" wrote that these lights are headlamps, and the lights over them are just daytime running lights and indicators. (with LED)

What's with the inverted grill? it's ghastly! This sketch is horrible, I do not ever want to see any form of translation of this sketch on any patch of tar on the face of the entire planet.
