While we are at disccussing the car I am also not a fan of the look of the front. But that also goes for the 8-series, Z4 and 1-series. But then again I also hated the front of the F30 when it came out because the headlights kissed the grill. Back then I thought BMW had lost it. Still I got one myself two years later and kept if for six years. I guess most new designs are nowadays an "aquired taste".

But I am also pretty sure this will sell very well. There is a market for this car (else BMW would not make it) and people can easily be enthusiast about FWD cars. Just look at the Golf GTI, Audi S3 and Mercedes A45 crowd. Many people buy their cars purely for the looks. My wife has an M240i and it was primarily chosen because of the design. The engine was only a secondary choice.

And then there is the large crowd of owners who just want to be related to the brand no matter what. This is a fine cheap option for them as well.
