I'm not sure that I'd classify 2/3rd of an inch of less rear headroom as a major screw-up, but this is a subjective thing and we all have our individual priorities. Obviously, there's something of a tradeoff between rear headroom and the shape of the roof, and BMW went with styling over comfort. It's their call. I'm of the view that if rear passenger comfort is one of your main priorities, you probably shouldn't be looking at subcompact coupes to begin with, but to each his own.
