Actually no, a Car Magazine employee even responded to those pics, saying they were computer based - http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13337

front looks like a clever, sneaky, maybe even slightly evil grin to me ... almost like 'I'm gonna kick your a$$ ... and you're going to like it'

and the back end looks like it's saying 'see ya' *wink & laugh*

in short: love the look

It's strange that everyone hates on the newer BMW designs but strangely I like only the 6 and Z4 coupes.
Others think that those two are atrocities.

Well I think the 6 is pretty nice & the Z4 is an absolute abomination. The 6 series & the 3 series(coupe only, not the sedan) without that big mouth shark front bumper are the only current BMW's that I can like.
