The ugliest current production BMW

I was behind one of these today (for the first time) and honestly it's so ugly I genuinely thought the back end had been hit by someone!!

Anyone else care to try and top the 2 series grand tourer??

If I ever see one grace this side of the pond (luckily it won't), I will follow it to its destination and just ask them why.

The GT's are fucking horrid looking, and the X1 and i3 are close contenders.

Of course i will driver the 5GT over this not because it looks better, but because it has more power and more $$.

So it is hard to say which one that we would drive over which one.

But as far as ugliness goes. I agree 5GT, then 3GT, i3 then this.

That is what i wanna do every time i see a 5GT or 3GT.

I know looks are subjective but God damn, how can anyone think they are good looking cars?
5GT looks like a french toast that is ready to be stepped on.

I think that even most GT owners secretly think their cars are ugly.

Agreed buying a gt is akin to self harming

But if must, a Minivan or a 5GT?

I'd take the Minivan, at least no one will look at me for the wrong reason and did not spend a shit load of $ for a shit load of ugly

I love the 5GT.
The 2GT is quite handsome and tidy.

But i hate the 3GT (sorry 3GT owners)... Thats the equivalent to Honda CrossTour...

I8 is ugly too.

I3 is ok for me.

There i said it...

No one said you don't love your 3GT. That is not what he said.

There are plenty of people who love BBWs... but they are not going to say that they are not "big"

Hey, it's your ride and your dollars. But a car's aesthetics can be mutually independent of your love for it. Until recently I owned a 2005 Nissan Xterra. Thing was a beast, loved it, great for off roading and camping and muddy dogs. Definitely wouldn't call it sexy though.

But what I don't understand (and this opinion is seemingly shared by the automotive press, for whatever their opinion is worth) is why anyone would buy the 3GT when the F31 exists. Ostensibly the reason someone buys a 3GT is for the space, but the wagon has about the same space, it's more useful since the shape is less awkward, the rear glass pops up separate, it is lighter, it handles nicer, and looks infinitely better. In the US I guess the argument can be made that the 3GT doesn't limit you to the N20, but fuck at that rate I'd rather drive a late model E90 335i and pick up a decent used small SUV for hauling shit.
