To my eyes, it's the farthest thing from a shark nose. It's either A.) Bucktooth beaver teeth, B.) A picture of butt cheeks, and finally C.) A pigs nose.

A return to form has sailed ship at BMW. Closest we have to that is the current M2.

BMW is so confused about its identity at the moment, so much that throwing shark nose into the mix will only screw them up even more.

Let's just wait for someone to take charge over there and fire all the idiots currently signing off on design ideas.

I think the only car that has any appeal to me out of the recent releases is probably the M5 LCI

They should have sent the 2002 Hommage to production.

Oh well. Not digging current BMW design language.

Weirdly enough, the E63 6-series, while not having the classic BMW "shark nose," did look like a shark up front. I loved that design overall. It didn't have classic BMW traits to it but still looked unmistakably BMW. Weird.

There is hardly a car more iconic than the Ford Mustang. Ford reintroduced the original design quite well. BMW needs to do a modern E30 with a 2.5L in-line 6. No turbos, and with a 3-pedal manual trans. I'd buy one without hesitation.

Sure, I’m fine with it. Really just add me to the chorus of “anything but that new 4-series nose!”
