Like the idea of some more limited edition models! Something to go alongside my 1M.

This is what I've been saying all along. BMW make us a "GTS" line, regularly. Thank you BMW for listening.

Drop Jalopnik a line to tell them that what they call "puke yellow" is Golf Yellow (BMW paint code 070), an original BMW 3.0 CSL color.

I liked the Supra from the side more !

i actually LOVE the colour.....but that's about it

This design is so bad, it must mean Adrian von Hooydonk is on vacation.
Someone left the lights on.

Mixed design language. Awful proportion. Terrible colour. I despair..
The only person who would love this is Scott26.

Thats a joke!!

The Front is just ugly and hideous! The Kidney looks like it got cancer or elefantitis... The Kidneys are getting bigger and bigger just like the VW Roundel...

The Sideview and the rear are OK but the front is just awful . The Front is just a big joke with some rabbit teeth...

Respect your elders!

The idea of something different and evocative is great start and should be applauded. The execution, well, it is a bit heavy handed.

This is not a racing car so it need not be overtly aerodynamic or terrifying. There should be a demension of elegance thrown into the mix and more active aero to take out some of the lumpy bits out the design. Oh, and I wish we would not go too crazy with the ever increasing grill size. It is quite vulgar and shamefully apes other brands attempt to project distinction in design.

Despite all that is said; I say keep at it BMW but fix the looks please.

Wow. The right paint makes a huge difference. Although I still feel the front needs some revisions before I'd love it.
