335 -- aggressive looking. Made me do a double take! Couldn't figure out at first if it was an F32, or the F07 5 series GT or what. Definitely looks WAAAYYYY better than the 5 GT, IMO. Not my cup of tea, but I won't get into that further, here on the home turf of a bunch of F34 owners. Overall not the worst.

Yeah they hit dealers beginning of September. I agree much more successful design than the 5GT. (Damned with faint praise). For us it's the ultimate baby machine

You're probably safe to bag on them in here there are probably only about a dozen of us who actually have our cars yet

It looks so much better in the flesh, it's bigger and I don't mean just a little bit, inside is huge and drives in my opinion as good as a F32. It's the perfect car for either 4 adults who travel, couples with small children and those of us who just into something a little different but has a familiar feel!!

I just wish they hadn't abandoned the Hofmeister kink. That c pillar to shoulder line section makes me think "Accord crosstour." The rest of the car is largely quite likeable, and you'll know it isn't a crosstour when you throw it into a corner or open up that N55...

Hofmeister kink isn't completely absent. However, I do agree it'd look better if they could have lengthened the top slope a bit more and flattened out the bottom of the window so it doesn't curve upward as much past the C-Pillar...This would have accentuated the kink more, drawn nicely on the line coming off the top of the trunk, and been very close to how they implemented it on the F32.



I suppose there's a little of the Crosstour appearance in that small portion of the car, but the F34's lines are much more elegant and its likeness to the Crosstour is overplayed IMO. In real life, the difference is even more apparent.

Crosstour:
