Reminds me of a MGB GT.
Rare BMW M found on the street

I think someone said the design increases chassis rigidity. Even if it did, I would still accept the loss and drive a regular M3 Coupe.
I never liked the look of that car, and clearly few other people did as well.

Yes, I remember one driven around San Diego when it was new but it was Dakar Yellow. About 2001, when they got the later motor with around 315 hp.
I've wanted one for years but the time was never right and they are too far out of date now. If I recall new they were US$50k, used around 30k with the older E38's M3 motor.
He probably parked away from the curb by habit because the rims are so easily damaged.

In HS a teacher had one when they were pretty new, in Silver. Not a very good looking car but I guess they drive well.
The Z4 coupe is an improvement IMHO.
That car is just ugly enough to be loveable. Any car in yellow, however, is awful. I'm sure there is some exception but this isn't it.
I also like hatchbacks, but that is the ugliest BMW. You don't see many on the streets anymore. Sorry, but it looks like it mated with a Pacer.
I will say its unique. Almost like a custom job. I actually like it because it is rare. It does look better in darker colors like black or gun metal, the blue is also decent.
That yellow puke color makes any car look vomitous.

And from the same company which made the 633 CS series, a fine looking car.

It's rare because not too many people would have paid BMW money to have been seen in this car.
What was BMW thinking?
I like it? LOL!
So do I. It's got a nice stance and I bet it handles great.

Here are the color options from my BMW of N-A 1999 brochure. I've never seen one in white or the two "greens" but among the other colors blue looks best, IMO.

They looked the best in that color (as did the last I6 gen of the M3) IMO, and set up like that (wheels/tires).

My guess is that is what they (it's designers) were going for.

The same as the dude that designed the 5th-generation Honda Civic hatchback? That being: "The world needs more cars that look like shoes."
