Ferlazzo on design

“Firstly, where is the Hofmeister kink in the C-pillar? That kind of brand design cue is gold; I’d be loathed to relinquish it. Accordingly, the side view, while sleek and elegant, now looks a little anonymous. Likewise, the interior is beautifully executed but feels a bit sedan-like. Even the grunty M440i feels a lot more luxury than sport, except for the sport steering wheel which has the girth of a bratwurst. Oh, you asked about the grille? Hmmm…. I think it works better on an SUV.”
