I like the front end, and some of the general concepts. But the sides and rear are a little, um, strange.

A little weird for me. Looks like another stab at the M Coupe.

What do you get if you breed a Mercury Cougar with an Audi TT?

Yep that's right the next BMW styling disaster. Well after the Z3 it's good to see BM is being consistent at least

And the way that back bit opens look like it was designed to make the largest amount of space as inaccessible as possible. Something to be proud of really.

Isn't that the air brake system. It's probably so fast you have to deploy that thing to slow down.
Seriously how do you maintain structural rigidity with the back end hinged like that. Besides it's bugly.
