Just when I thought they couldn’t outdo the funk of their designs, they up the ante!

Yet another model that looks more tolerable the darker it is...

I don't understand why they use shiney plastic for the front grilles just looks cheap. Too much of it as well the front is just a plastic mess.
Rear looks OK and it wouldn't actually take much to make the front cleaner and make for an over all handsome car. |

I like the car in general. One of my issues is they are putting more and more of that piano black plastic on exterior. That’s stuff is sooooo soft. It just gets beat up by normal use too much.

it has definitely grown on me - while i love my LCI, when i stare at it now dare I say it looks a bit "outdated" to me.
I am still not a fan of all the black plastic that is being used now in the front/rear of new BMW's, IF i end up with this car one day it will definitely be in sapphire black. This color has really grown on me, has so much depth and will disguise a lot of that black plastic. |

There are definitely better designs to fulfill that purpose.

Looks like Imperial Blue and not Carbon Black to me — but just might be the light.

I also had the pillar plastic between the doors done with PPF.

I'm warming up to it but when there are pics side-by-side with the current 5er, this looks very chunky and luxo-barge like rather than sleek sport sedan.
