Yeah, the common complaint is mine as well; those grille kidneys are too big for the front. And does it need a chin? Couldn't they just mimick the front end of the VGT? That looked smooth enough, and it still kept BMW's trademark design cues. The rear end design is nice, well thought out and good-looking. The front end is what messes up the styling, those kidneys should've been smaller.

Seems to have been designed by the same fella that did the E90, E36, E39 and Z3, Joji Nagashima

Well ain't that curiously ironic; a German (?) designs a car for a Japanese videogame (the BMW VGT), while a Japanese person designs a concept for a real-life concours.

I wish the front looks more like the M235i.

They kinda did that one already with the BMW VGT though.

What a futuristic interior, huh? But yes, this is a good design from the rear and the sides, but it's that front that puts me off. Or more precisely, that grille. It just doesn't quite suit the car...

The front end isn't too dissimilar to the Vision Future Luxury concept

I like the grill. It's actually gone back towards the original shark front end. I hope all the grills are more vertical. Now, those "hands" digging into the bonnet on both sides. Let's talk on that. 👎
from this view, that Hitler moustache I'm not too thrilled about.

Oh god, do you know what the above image just reminded me of?
Go figure, now I know a car that looks similar to the BMW, in the front end section, that is.
God damm it, BMW. I thought we were past the "Bugs Bunny teeth" design phase. Looks like you aren't, really.

There's so much potential here. The basic shape and proportions are gorgeous, but the details are awful. There's far too much going on and it's way too overwrought.

Seriously though... no. You can't think of a worse looking car than this?

I sure can. With cars such as these:
In no way the 3.0 CSL Hommage is the "worst car ever designed", because many cars can and will out do it in that category.

Which is fine for a luxury car, but something small and sporty? No.The front end isn't too dissimilar to the Vision Future Luxury concept

The CSL Hommage is to the VFL as the E9 was to the E3.. in other words, take the top luxury offering, make it a coupe, then make it look like it might go racing... It's not obvious in this Hommage... but actually it fits beautifully in that respect.
Also, this isn't small. BMW VGT was small, it was based on the M235i... This Hommage is Bigger than an M6.

Well, the problem with that bit of homage is it just doesn't work. They've sculpted a car which looks lithe and athletic (what I mean by small) and then just plonked this grill on like an afterthought.

Nope...nothing...not one single car...besides the Puma thing.
