    The CO2 emmissions are both over 225g/km, hence full-fat annual €2,350 motor-tax in the Republic by the looks of it.

    That will of course mean they depreciate very heavily.

    Good luck with shifting many of these hideous beasts at all BMW Ireland....

    So.... I was in Frank Keane’s yesterday and there was one of these in a dark colour with the dark grills and dare I say it... it didn’t look terrible. Neither did the new M235i to be honest.

    Also my new favourite BMW colour is oxide grey metallic, looked excellent on a 330e touring against some black accents.

    So to rephase - you saw one specced in colours which hides almost all the shitty design cues. I saw one in FK's recently too, its an abomination.

    Precisely!

    I’d say any other colour combo and it would be unacceptable.

    I think the C Pillar, with the clock up of the hoffmeister kink is worse than the grille. In a dark colour the grilles are not the worst, I don’t think kno can live with that C Pillar though. Too Audiesque.

    Grill not so bad in dark colour:
