The good:

I think it is great that BMW implores their designers to push boundaries of design and to be creative. I love that about the company. I like that they are doing some really interesting things with surfaces, and textures and materials. I appreciated some of the behind-the-scenes look at how the concept was created. That is really cool. I like the suicide doors, the embedded carbon fiber with the seats and the B pillar. The headlights are neat too.

The bad:

There is just too much going on here. The proportions the front kidney is TERRIBLE. On the current 7-er I think the kidneys are too big to start with, this is just too much of a good thing. I am not a fan of the design elements below the rear door and the treatments above the exhaust ports.
