The end result is ugly in my eyes, but they weren't trying to be a style queen like the A7 and Rapide. The stylish model is for BMW is the 6GC.

2. The Rapide is irrelevant in this conversation because its back seats are minuscule and borderline unusable for taller occupants if the front seat passenger is also above average height.

3. Every BMW since 2001 is hideous? If you can call the current F10 and F01 hideous then...you are quite the special person.


I'm not a fan of these GT models AT ALL, but honestly...
With all due respect, I agree with all of your points but these BMW "GT" cars have odd proportions and are ugly IMO. You are entitled to your own opinion but I agree that they could have been better.

I don't care about this specifically, but thought that its existence meant no F31 for us. Thankfully, I was wrong, and the 3-series wagon will be here in the fall. It'll only be available as an awd automatic, and no six-cylinder, but at least it's coming this time around, and there'll even be a diesel!

Hideous. These automakers have have money, power, and smart people working in the company, but that doesn't mean they're out of touch with reality, like the reality of how ugly this thing is .

Yet BMW can **** it up so bad. Other than the 3 series and X5, every BMW since about 2001 has been hidieous IMO.
Aston yes, Audi no. If "damn awesome" to you includes a rear end that looks sad all the time, then maybe for you it works.

For me the A7 is ugly.
