Since I'm a marketing specialist this thread is really making me LOL... I mean c'mon guys (my fellow Americans), I understand your frustration with BMW making less sporty cars and coming out with stuff like this but they are a GLOBAL brand and let's face it, China is where the money is at, not the US. We already know they are going to buy these things up like no other (I saw a crap load of black 5 GTs in China earlier this year).

BMW needs to stay profitable...think about it if they continue making their basic line-up (3,5,7,X,Z) they are not going to stay ahead of the game while Audi continues to expand in these niche markets and what will you say when BMW is left behind only to be taken over by Cherry or Geely because of not staying ahead of the game... let's talk about brand dilution then...

Bank to the OP....it looks pretty good in M sport form...a little awkward but better than the 5er GT.
