Arrived...

[Neilson]

My friend works for BMW and this turned up in the showroom today...

 

[buzyg]

So what do you think of it in he metal?

 

[Neilson]

I quite like the look, I always think the concept is way better and then they water the whole thing down!
He took one out at Donnington a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it!

 

[Maniac]

Perhaps it drives WAY better than it looks.

so curt :evil: so sums up 95% of the worlds bmw enthusiasts.

 

[Phoenixboy]

I like it
Can’t afford one, but good to think ahead.

I've looked at a lot of photos of this car, and I think I could easily live with every part of it, except the front bumper. The kidney grilles just look too large for the rest of it, especially with the silver rings around them. I've seen pics of it with gloss(?) black grilles and they do look better (but still a bit big, imho).
I would love to see an aftermarket front bumper released that addresses this as well as incorporates other elements that would make the front look a bit more 'agressive'. Here's hoping...

Sounds like a ‘first mod’, with a choice of
- Black honeycomb flat grille
- E85 equivalent gloss black kidney grills
- Black Matt mesh flat grille

Strangely, in red I’m beginning to think it could look rather nice... (with a grille replacement)

I could live with every part of a Fiat Multipla, just not necessary when they’re all put together in that way.

They don’t look that bad. You’d have hoped for Cayman/Alpina-beating dynamics as compensation though.

£45,000 to ‘live with it’?

Seems like a bargain compared to marriage.

That's my thinking too, taking on the exige/Alpina/4c/cayman but the e85 and z3 tried and failed, so itseasier to take on the tt and slk

Marriage is cheap... it's divorce that's expensive...

I got to see it in the metal on Saturday - it looks a lot better in real life than in the photos! Red exterior, black grille, white interior.

If it were an exploration ship and it went to a public vote to name it I bet it would end up ' Booty McShitface'.

Good point. No one spends that sort of money to buy a car they can just 'live with it'.
Perhaps it was just a long-winded way of me saying I'm not really sold on the front of the car, but I like the rest. How's that?

[IRD]

I quite like it in red but wouldn’t pay that sort of money for something I ‘quite’ like. It would be hard to justify spending £45000 for a ‘weekend’ car too.on the other hand if someone offered me one free I wouldn’t turn it down. :wink:
