Not sure its the basic model.. it will be the one below the ///M version I reckon.

But yes, because it's the 'concept' model for the Frankfurt Motorshow. I expect they'll stick it on some dodgy Dunlop runflats or something..

Naah the wheels are too cheap!

I've already lined up the next set if I don't like the 17" CE28's

I think that it still looks fresh as a daisy to be honest!

Much better than the competition, anyway

The hard top gives the car better proportions, IMO. Not too bad ...

(and that's as much praise as you'll get out of me for a Bangle BMW ... )

Could be the questionable looks of course - too many people buy on looks / badge rather than the drive though
I think you're right, the styling was very love it or hate it - this new Coupe is much less controversial than the old one, so I think will prove to be more popular (putting aside whether they make a poverty spec this time).

Bangle does some very elegant rooflines.

Then he gets all yankee doodle (doodle, anyway) and ruins the flanks.

This might look convincing, from the B-pillar aft.

I like the side profile and the rear but the front still sucks

Side profile looks don't mind the front, but the rear doesn't look that great.
