Is that a single piston cast iron caliper on a carbon ceramic rotor?

You're talking the shape of the rear bumper? That it looks like it's pooping, or maybe having a baby? If that's it, I agree, it's ugly / dumb looking but I guess if you want to continue owning BMW's you have to get over it. And of course if the cars keep selling they (or at a minimum some folks here) will say it's evidence that people love it. At least judging by the grille discussions.
If you're talking about something else then - sorry for the change of subject. But that's a dumb bumper shape and I just had to say it. |

maybe the side profile is ok? but i can't stand the different sized wheels and different profile tyres, also the front arch appears large while the rear wheel arch appears much smaller (probably for aero, front wheels still need to turn) |

Nothing really seems to flow with this design. It's like different pieces from different cars just mashed together.

The MB is overall much cleaner, but the Audi still has a bit of a hemorrhoid bumper. The Bimmer roofline is nicer though, especially where the hatch and rear window share the same angle. Benz rear window arcing down like that and not matching roof/hatch gives me R class vibes.

God I hate that base Honda Civic rear brake caliper. $100k car and they put that thing on it, just unbelievable.
