I wonder if this is a age/ generation thing?
Ie wondering if it the younger ones amongst us that like it and is or more mature years don’t?
Maybe it’s nothing to do with it?

If the Chinese market is what it’s being geared up for , is this dictating it’s style?

Just wondering
Would also be interesting to see if those who disliked the G60 tend to be long time BMW owners (which may very well correlate with age). I chatted with a few friends (non-BMW owners), they generally liked the styling, mostly because the grill is normal sized.

Styling details may be influenced by target markets e.g. China, but I think the weird proportion is clearly a compromise due to the battery situation, which hopefully will be far less constraining before the next gen comes out as battery energy density continues to improve.
