I think we should reserve our judgements until BMW actually unveils this car officially. I don't trust the legitimacy of these photos. This car looks like it was abandoned in a warehouse somewhere to rot. Although I must agree I hate the direction they are going with the screens popping out of the dash. Looks awful and cheap. +1 on the steering wheel, I really like it, looks really futuristic! It reminds me of the steering wheels on my wifes MDX.
