So somebody is going to to tell the designers how to design? I would suspect that there is high management sign off on designs already. The right proportion to one person is the wrong proportion to another. I agree with those that see the design as a departure from the "sameness" with the 5 series. Whether I like it or not will await seeing it in person in three dimensions rather than in photos.
