Shorter and narrower, I can understand. But those dimensions combined with being taller than a 4-series makes this car look very un-athletic. Again, it seems to me that BMW goes out of its way to make this car look as awkward as possible compared to the rest of the model lineup, and I have no idea why.
My thoughts exactly. Shave a few inches off the bulbous and rounded roof, and you would have a much sportier looking car. They must just be so concerned with stealing 4 series sales that they won't design it to look too athletic. A shame really.
