If you account for a) that its a pretty delicate topic for a designer to review and criticize another ones work, and b) he needs to be polite, he pretty much destroyed the guys who designed the 4 series. I myself like most of it except for the grille but if you listen to Frank, he made some really good points regarding the sideview (hoffmeister, side air-vent angle, the side-line which now is shorter, smoother and lower and now misses the door-handles) and the smaller inlets/intake on the front. I appreciate that we've got some real legend commenting on that many other folks here have also pointed out since the car came out. One can only hope for a literal facelift in 2-3 years.
