Dont like the front grills, sry... smaller ones would give it more character. Seems like a pigs snout (nose? how is it correct in english?)

The grills are horrible and look out of place.
I hope that the bonnets are cheap to replace as they look like they will be the first thing to get crumpled in any bump.

good spot buzy lar :thumbsup:
agree on front grills - look wrong, but they wont look like that when it comes to production i suspect. and the rear quarterlights are def reminiscent of astons.
for me there's not enough to set it apart from the 6 series. should be more.....special somehow...?

Seems it is the concept as a quick Google shows al the top reviewers with photos of it.
I like it, although I'm sure the production will be much softer and with some practical changes around the front end, like the bonnet shorter and a plastic bumper surround
Lights and general look is fantastic

I think it looks pretty stunning but curiously annoying in looks at the same time, probably down to the comical grills, if they were smaller or black it would look better, the interior looks unfinished but then it is a concept. It does look a bit BMW trying to copy Aston Martin.

It's probably much better in th flesh. But then again I think a lot of newer BMWs tend to be growers
