It is the enormous grill that you first see and agree that something less conspicuous would help no end. I hadn't picked up being a concept version so there is hope for something better, but doubt it will.

This is just a concept, they always look weird.

Final design hasn't been released yet. After toning down as BMW do and homogenisation it will likely look more normal/average/acceptable to the masses.

I'm still waiting for the 640d gran coupe to drop a few quid so an 8'er will be many years off.
