BMW Zagato - awkward and ugly looking?

I know it sort of looks OK at the beginning of the trailer
but the front end is just bulbous and blunt looking;

... and compared to this other elegant creation by Zagato the BMW looks a Z3M coupe on roids: out of proportion and ugly.

Don't tell me you want one!

Check out the 'Z' grill. It's all so over-stylized it's like a bloody handbag.

I tend to agree with you - the back end is it's best feature and I guess the advertisers know that too as 80% of that video was from the back. It is over-styled but it could grow on me. How much is this going to cost then?

That's what so disappointing about modern BMW designs. They are tantalisingly close to making something exciting looking but they miss the mark, time after time.

Looks all squashy.

Horrible.

I like big rectangles :D

Not my cup of tea at all. As said before- over styled and out of proportion

I can see my sponge getting caught in that grill.

Can't make my mind up with that as a whole, looks good from some angles.

One thing i'm sure about though is i'm not keen on the front end of any of the new BMWs.

looks like a snarling warewolf. Would HAVE to see it in the flesh to make a proper decision

not my cup of T either... nice design but a bit to show and no substance for me.
