I saw the concept in the flesh and this is very close to it. Apart from the grilles the rest of the car is actually really nice. I agree with Dave, the more of these that pop up out on the wild the more we will get used to them and it will be the new benchmark.

I remember when the e34 5 Series came out I though BMW had lost the plot as they went so far away from the e28. It was almost like heresy! However, over time I actually grew to like it and actually owned one back in 1999.

Roll on a few years after that and the Z9 concept was investors by Bangle which went on to become the e63 6 Series, again I thought this was a disaster, hated the e63, bit I now have two of them and I personally think they look contemporary even today. It will take something special to fill their boots on my driveway.

I’ll wait till I see a well specced and nice colour car before I fully make my mind up.
