The problem isn't really that its super ugly, because it isn't, the problem is more that it has clearly FWD based stubby proportions that don't lend itself well to the design and just looks like every other cheap econobox on sale from Ford Focus, to Chevy Malibu, Honda Civic, etc.
Nothing other than the kidney grills screams "BMW" and even then, some may say the kidney's look more like a Kia grill.
Even a new Mazda 3 is a much more attractive vehicle despite not being a luxury car. Not sure what is going on in BMW's design department right now, but a big change is needed.
