C grade here.
+: The back end is clearly less bland and 90's Elantra-like than it appeared in the earlier cellcam shots. Nor does the greenhouse and roofline look quite as sedanish as it has in other photos.
-: The outer edges of the front light covers are extended way too far past the headlamps they contain, and are much too big relative to the car's small front grill, creating an imbalanced, fugly, bug-eyed appearance. The problem is made worse by BMW's insane design decision to drop the base level of the outer portion of the light covers beyond the headlamps, increasing their overall height in the outer portion and making this unattractive area even bigger. Plus I am no fan of the sharp side-panel creases extending all the way to the rear - another Bangle-astic abortion.
Ever the optimist though, I am still hoping it looks decent in the flesh.
