I think it flows better than the original slant nose. Maybe side other angles would look better.

Looks vaguely like an old BMW 850 to me. But, then again, my vision's not so good.

I actually like the old BMW 850 a lot - I would not want to be seen driving this car.

Yah, me too - on both points!

I always wondered why BMW stopped making that model. It was the only BMW I've ever liked.

At first glance it looks horrible but I think I need to see a side view to be sure.
