    Looks interesting. Is it a 6-series replacement?

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    That doesn't work for me.

    Where are the days of clean styling? It appears to me that more and more designers are grappling at straws to come up with something new. Often small details are nice, but the totality of the design doesn't work at all.

    Best,

    Jack.

    Jack - my view is slightly (but basically) different: I think the overall shape/design is acceptable, if somewhat generic; but I think it is let down by the copy-cat details, which can be found on everything from the latest Ferrari supercar, to a 3 year old Kia.

    I would have hoped for more than *acceptable* though, from BMW.

    IMO BMW's last good looking car was the e36. These days they seem to be looking outside the factory-gates for styling, and Pininfarina should have known to produce something more pleasing after all the Bangle disasters we've seen. Zagato was more successful.

    Best,

    Jack.

    Interior shots are fantastic.

    Need for the exterior to grow on me some more.

    Zagato Z4 is nice but I wonder what Munich said about the Alfa 159 door handles?
