No Lavalina leather for us as it wasn't subjected to the ridiculous NTSB testing procedures the U.S. requires.

Interior looks good but combined with the exterior it's over the top. Individual Chestnut Bronze doesn't suit the exterior of this car at all. Looks like a giant turd.

I don’t like the exterior colour, but would like to see it outside in the sun before saying that I hate it, as I have seen other colours that look pretty awful in a dull climate, but look good in a sunny climate against a blue sky.
Also, comes down to country differences. For example in the UK interior colour is either black or beige/ivory - brown interiors are not common and very hard to shift. In some other European countries brown leather is seen as luxurious and common on larger cars.

Looks are subjective, but the fact is that in a red light race, this car obliterates anything short of a 911 Turbo. With a 205 mph top speed it is literally the fastest sedan in the world.

Nothing wrong with brown color, interior could have been all tan-saddle and rims would have been best in black, gold or anthracite. Brakes in blue clash massively, they should have been gold, yellow or red to match the exterior. Funny how nowadays you can spec this on some car companies (Porsche does this) but here youre stuck with these boy racer blue calipers. Still, even the color doesnt distract you from that nasty nasty oversized chopped grille.
Yeah, the "grille person" who made it with misguided notion it will help sell car in markets where bmw isnt as established (i..e. China). Quote:

I think it's fair to say ETTO but that is definitely a marmite car (in more ways than one)

Beautiful!!
It reminds me of the design objective of the Aston Martin Lagonda. The absolute luxury coupled with shocking power to whisk the occupants blissfully away.... 'course it's all relative to the era! |

Most British Leyland/Morris/Austin cars of that era ended up that colour after a couple of years - rust!

I don't think you have to be plain or "vanilla ass" to think this looks bad
