I'm really sick of all the OEMs, especially luxury brands thinking this is acceptable. The fact that they don't even bother to wet sand their photo cars sure shows how little they care!

Yup. That's all I kept thinking/saying...where are the LEDs? I don't understand how the cost could be more and it doesn't come with FULL LED Front and rear.
Also, the doors have less leather, there is less wood trim on dash/doors and the rear passengers console has been completely removed. Those are the little details that make a BMW feel rich. The trunk also looks smaller. What do you think? |

The gap between tire and fender is HUGE for a supposedly "sporty" coupe! First mod would be some springs or coil-overs.

The Coupe should be a different vehicle than the rest with its own personality. BMW succesufuly managed to mix all of them together diluting its own image.
- Paint job,kinda terrible - wheels, terrible - unnecessary plastic elements on the fenders makes it CHEAP, a wanna be, perfect for those kitchy people that apply on their car all the dollar store crap they can find. Same opinion about the Modern, Sport, and other crap badges. You can make the car using specific elements, chrome or black, wheels, mirror caps, etc. people will know which is ELegant and which Sport, make it subtle... -The front bumper is just horrible, the design, the lines, the fog lamp don't even use a similar "language" with the headlamps, everything is put in there because it needs to be, but what a huge step back in time, it si not ugly, but already dated. - the 435 badge just confusing, why on hell BMW will pick number four for a two door car and a number 3 for a four door sedan is just a mistery for me. The new series and new mixing numbers will make BMW a brand with lots a numbers on the back that will actually confuse the people, soon only a true entusiast will know what the heck these numbers mean. Instead of helping their image by offering a true simply identity to their cars they just make it worse. - same with the M badge, every wanna-be owner is happy to display his M badge on his 320 BMW with some cheap door sills and M sport bumper! Instead of keeping the M division in its place, BMW is dilluting its own history for marketing. Might work for now, but I guess that BMW is unaware about the damage. Or who knows, BMW will come up with a "K" series soon to compensate the mistake and offer more confusion and try to open a new, more sporty niche. -on many new cars you see inegrated exhaust pipes, BMW is stuck on these round pipes likethe time has stop for them. I hope that the ugly exhaust system will not be seen again from the back hanging out under the bumper, what a dissapointment from a brand that wants to express sportivity and evolution. The friking Hyundai did it for God's sake... -the Garmin, Ipad Navi screen is just awful, awful, awful. I was excited about this Coupe, but now... Honestly, I don't feel, I am actually convinced that all BMW cares is money, marketing is the king now, not attention to detail, not the care for its own image. I just don't see ANY evolution on these new cars, only failures lately. Will people still buy it? Sure, it is a BMW, the status symbol hunters can look cool for their ignorant friends. So there you go, BMW dilutes its own image addressing to all wanna be on the market, pushing away the hard core fans. Then, the same people that will slap us on the face on this forum, telling us that the LCI is made because this is the rule, not to fix their terrible mistakes, will come in to explain that BMW "sells a lot", so we are wrong, their recipe to succes is actually working, we are the ones that we don' know what are we talking about... For now, yeah, this is how it looks like, but The true enthusiast don' t want a german Toyota. Simply put, a very dangerous path that will make BMW an ordinary brand. For a company that has all the money, tools and manpower to bring incredible automobiles, here we are, stuck with some vehicles that are outdated from the launch pictures already. What a dissapointment. A vehicle from a such brand that should bring unanimous excitement not controversial opinions. Controversial means poor, acceptable but not good. When a vehicle is acclaimed by everybody as beautiful, then, you achieved a good design. But when you come up with cars that are accepted only because the fans wants to stay loyal, you should become worried. "It will grow on me" is a very dangerous expression when it comes from your loyal customers. It may grow today but the other companies are not sitting doing nothing... Just my one cent...

It goes in stages. You get revolutionary, then evolutionary with little tweeks in between to 'freshen' the design.

Is there any advantage to pain longevity having orange peel to deflect light?

The headlight and taillight shape are part of the BMW branding. It's like saying you feel like they all have the same grill shape. They do, and its because it helps people immediately identify the kind of car it is on the road.

In general, its a disappointment. But, BMW first made the public 'warm' with a great looking concept, followed by a disappointing real product. Our expectations were set to high ...
