It looks ok, if boring is what one likes.
It's just boring.
The size of it in a coupe is much too big.
From the doors rear edge to the back it's just too freaking long with nothing of visual interest to break it up.

I like the 3 sedan. Even though it's a bit bigger, the proportions look good, and overall the design hides the growth.
But, it doesn't translate very well to a coupe.
I kept reading that the coupe would be different than the sedan, yet these picts pretty much show the car as being the size of a sedan with nothing to make the coupe look special or different, just too big.

In comparison the A5 looks much nicer as it's design works well as a couple.
It doesn't look like an A4 coupe. It looks unique as a coupe, which is what I was thinking/hoping BMW would do.

I don't think it's a good thing that it looks somewhat like a 6 coupe.
The 3/4 series coupe should look tighter, smaller, with a bit more aggressiveness to it.
