Family resemblance is a good thing. Making cars that are instantly recognizable as BMW, Mercedes or Audi has been a longtime tradition for German luxury carmakers. Those cars have always been about combining traditional and somewhat conservative styling with cutting edge technology and performance. The only time BMW deviated from this philopsophy was during the Bangle era and I'm glad to see them moving back.

Anyway, the car looks great.
