Ugly or what
Parked opposite an ix the other day and thought WTF that thing is ugly, I know beauty is the n the eye of the beholder, but seriously does anyone here like them.
I took a photo as I got out of mine, but it really doesn’t do it justice, it looks much worse in the flesh.
Sorry if anyone here has one, just my opinion.

That's just stupid especially as the number plate is stuck right in the middle.
What were BMW thinking ?

As you say, ugly. It's hard to imagine what went round the design meeting when they made this thing up. These can't be the same people that made the E89, IMO one of the best looking cars ever. I've had shoe boxes with more style and glamour than that thing.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

The front is ugly for sure but I have now seen two of these and I am ok with it. The black one I saw actually looked pretty good, black hides most of that front.

It's got folding mirrors. That would be an extra!
So is that thing all electric? Presume so as there's no gaps behind the hideously big kidney grilles. I don't understand why manufacturers are making EVs that look like ICE cars. The gopping great grilles are there for no purpose. They look hideous on an ICE car, but at least serve a purpose.
Just looked it up...starting from £77,250. F**k off, I've bought houses for less.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

It reminds me of a Ford Transit but more expensive and you can't move house with it.

Think BMW design team had a very off day when they came up with this ugly brute
God knows how much they cost to run.

That looks like it should have a padlock on the front, felt on the roof and a couple of spades hanging up inside.

The question no one has asked yet is. What kind of over paid idiot buys a car like that?
