Very promising peek so far. I bet we see the rest of the car tomorrow.

More pig snout. I see BMWs are making their sedans all look the same again.

its a mix between 7 grill and 3 headlights. It could still look good, just like the 7 in person

Grille is too big and pushed out too far forward. The car looks tired.

not so sure about the big grille, but I do know that with the EU's pedestrian safety ratings, car design is going to have to change... front ends aren't going to be pretty until they figure out how to make it "Safe" for pedestrians.

because of course, getting hit at 45mph with a "safely" designed car can mean the difference in walking away clean or dying.

Looks fantastic.
I'd love a 550i but it's over $70K with the options I'd want.
