No. Does NOT look good. Disproportionate and made in a focus group for Gen Z naysayers who are now easily swayed by bad design and Influencers. I held out when people kept saying BMW has lost its way. Well, now, unfortunately I agree wholeheartedly.

I do agree. The E9x generation was really stunning, especially the LCI varient.
Current designs are angry, aggressive, lots of angular lines..

Front is not bad, still not a fan of the grille, but honestly the rear and especially the taillights are actually worse than everything else. They look extremely disappointing. Those are Honda/Infiniti/Lexus taillights, but no way this belongs to a BMW.

Now those grilles DO look to small these days.

I was going to complain about the lack of a manual, but after looking at the dimensions I am convinced it wouldn't be appropriate for a car this size. In my opinion, it's something to consider if you are thinking about a 6MT M4 as well.

I agree 100%.

The "bold" design comments do confuse me. When just about every other auto manufacturer had already integrated huge grills why should BMW be commended for following suit?

The front is the most beautiful ever. The rest is sort of generic BMW. Bold and beautiful, most dinstinctive and succesful BMW design in a long time.

Not a lot of people will like the grille but it's growing on me. BMW has a hit on its hands for sure. It will for sure grow on people after the shock and awe wears out.
