Not even close to what it should be....

I wonder who can tolerate this in their factory....oh wait the same 'gentleman' that design them....I would hazard a guess they are making their own network as that's probably who supports these designs.

Sorry, still looks like crap. What were they thinking with wheel arch covers? They look like ear flaps on a fur hat. Obviously not less is more, it's over wrought. And from their website, "The sides – contrapuntal elegance."
 
The gentleman is Doeke de Walle and he mostly draws rodents it seems:

Joji Nagashima, who designed a couple of cars I own, did the last two drawings.

They did keep the Hofmeister kink.

In a survey of BMW enthusiasts the E9 was mostly associated with the Hofmeister kink, and in a close second place came the Cupertino spleen.
DQ's thumb took the bronze, paradoxically for a metals expert.

I love the side profile and the back. The front just doesn't do it for me. It's a new 2000CS to me. Love everything but the nose.
 
Look on the bright side

It can easily transition some of today's yutes and otherwise unaware, to appreciate the real deal=stock goes up. I'll suffer through this one with a smile.
 
I kinda like it. It is a better effort than the other homage that was conceptualized a couple of months ago. Lots of nods to the original but still its own car. The front kidney grills are over the top as are the "flaps" on the front, but you have to think that they wouldn't survive to a production model.
 
Right you are John. I was in a Ford dealership recently that specialized in Mustangs. The variety of skins and looking back while looking forward is impressive. Especially since Ford failed miserably with the now-dead Thunderbird. RIP. Better luck next time.

This is why I've stopped buying BMW's. Their designs and drivability have lost the edge and now complete with the likes of Toyota and Kia.
