Pretty sexy I'd say! The 6 Series meets the i8 with the high end sex appeal of the Z8. Well done in an nice sleek package BMW.

BMW keep going in this direction, sleek and sexy, but still with German M toughness.

Rear roof profile looks to much like a mustang.

I like it.
Hope not... that's what I do not like on the current M line.
Secondly, pedestrian explanation is puerile, there are an infinite number of cars that are safe and do not compromise the design. The hood line is horrendous!

It is not. Honda Accord Coupe is almost 4,9 meters. A normal GT approach.

Funny. That's actually the look nowadays. Here in L.A., every hipster clown wears super skinnies, rolled up without socks and a beard.
"Hipster clown". Now added to my vocabulary.

The 8er should look like this concept...
This is one beautiful design. A true winner.

I agree. But just saying since this happens with the M4 design.

It seems that they realized this so the are fixing it. The new 5 Series lost the hood line.

Good to hear. That line looks out of place on the M4.

Great sound.
V-8 roar without any hint of Mustang-y cheapness.
