If most of the front of your car is grille, you don't have to design as much.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

BMW design meeting:

VP for Design "yah, these models look good, except you neglected to include our trademark double kidney grill"

Designer: "but sir, the car needs no grill of any sort, because it is electric, the design should be sleek, futuristic, and practical to compliment the future of motoring"

VP: "give it a grill, twice as large as the other models:

Designer: "but...but sir..."

VP: "Three times"

Designer: "that is impossible!!!"

VP: "Four times, do you want to keep loving with me, or do you remember what happened to the last guy?"

Designer: "*sobs wretchedly*"

Amazing in the sense that you can't even believe you're standing next to something so ugly?

Edit: I'll say everything about it is nice except that grille, but the grille is so astoundingly bad that the rest of the car just plain doesn't matter. It's like a Lamborghini Countach that someone painted a swastika on the hood of.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

You know what though, when the E60 came out everybody thought it was ugly, but it's aged pretty well. I think BMW is counting on it to be ugly now but crazy enough to be remembered in twenty years.

I don't like it, but I think I understand it. It's at least different and I respect that.

There is something to be said for age, because kids today are on instagram lusting after HHRs, SSRs, PT Cruisers, Azteks and H2s, among other things. E60s came out in 2003 though, where has that BMW gone?

Most people lost their poo poo at all the Bangle cars and it makes sense...it was a wildly different look on a car with a rich heritage. They haven’t aged poorly but the e46/e39 have aged a lot better.

But I also remember seeing an e90 in person for the first time and thinking that it really looked much better than the pictures implied so I 100% believe drgitlin that it looks great in person.

Angry Birds / Bag Piggies peaked years ago, like to the point where you can peg when the designers saw those breakout hit Pigs and said “AHA! We must design ze new car with a snout like these proud pigs.”

Mark my words, Green will be the most popular color. With gold rims of course.

Yeah but some cars are and always have been ugly. The E63 for example. The E65 to a lesser degree, and the E90 is also not that great IMO, E92, sure, but the sedans were and are kind of awkward looking.

My absolute favorite thing about these concept car abomination reveals is scrolling back through the photoshops until I get to the actual car, and somehow it's always worse than I expect.

I wonder if the grille lights up at night.
