Visual tastes are subjective but my reasons are identified by pink circles on the attached picture.

The side profile to me looks to resemble a minivan with the slant downwards of the back end.

The rear looks exactly like a X3 which I find it to be ugly with the tail lights slanting upwards.

The front is just disaster for me. Following the current F series the headlights extend to the grill in a awkward way... I think the front air dam or inlet looks weird and kind of resembles the pre-LCI of the E70 which I didn't like either. The current E70 Air inlet looks much better and resembles the M Sport or ///M.

I suspect the LCI F15 will have better visual enhancements. Hopefully the front will be improved!


As I have mentioned before, the interior to me is much nicer though!

But then again I did skip the F10 ( exterior looks and steering feel ) after having 2 E60's in the past 6+ years..
