Same here - when I first saw the blurry spy pics of the rear, I gulped hard. I was a bit disappointed, because BMW had been hiding the rear for so long. However, after seeing the official pictures, I've grown quite fond of it.

Some people always say these things when BMW presents something, no matter what is presented.

You know what though? Having talked about its design for 12 pages now...it merely shows how interesting this is.

I need to know something else...when is the 2.0T petrol engine coming???

The proportions work really well for me ...and I love the high and bold character line -- just like the 2002.

...Oh, EnI and Artist .........get a room

I guarantee you this is one of the prettiest current BMW models - if not the prettiest!

After you see it IRL you will definitely convert!

And this car will be a huge hit for BMW ... unless it will be priced unreasonably high (too close to E92).

Stunning, pretty much sums it up and confims that you're a BMW corporate man that will say anything! This trumps fanboy status.

The rear reminds me of this..

i can't believe it would come out of from BMW design team..probably it can grow on me later but at the moment to me it could be the badest designed rear out of all german cars.

Have you seen the maybach rear???

PanterroR · 06-29-2007, 03:26 AM

Guys, i won't defend anyone and i suggest you all to consider that as a joke, a bit harsh one i admit, but still a joke. A valuable member like Eni for sure didn't come here to insult so many members. We all say sometimes what we don't think actually, so please... Forget all of what happened and stay on topic. If you still wish to discuss about that, do it through PM.

Thanks in advance!

I can't get over the brakes. 6 piston! I love it. A base cayman I believe has a 4 piston setup up front, doesn't it? I cannot wait to drive this car. Kudos to bmw for not watering down the performance of this car.

I'll take alpine white, 6sp manual with red calipers please.

Hmmm, the side profile in that pic really looks great!
