I found this on a swedish site.
I have not seen any post anything about it, but here you go: Enjoy!
What he says in short is that it looks some like the 3-serie and is almost as long as the 7-serie.
I have different feelings about the new design of the car.

its just "blah" compared to E60. Wish they bring out the m-tech already, so that we can see the driver's car in the F10 a little better.

Don't like the new front - the headlights looks like it cut off at the top - the E60 headlights looks sooo much better

This is probably just me, but from the full side view it reminds me of a Volvo. And the grill from the front view, a Buick came to my mind. In any case, I haven't warmed to the F10.

I hate the whole front... the multi-contoured hood, and especially the headlights/grill/bumper treatment. It's goofy looking (in my HO). That's an area I fell in love with the LCI, especially the sport package treatment such as my 08 550i. I'm SO glad I bought then, and didn't wait for the F10 - something I was considering. I really did want to get the auto-parking option, but, oh well...

I gotta tell you -- and no offense to anyone who likes the F10, each to their own -- but I've owned BMWs since 1984 and pretty much liked all the designs and their evolution they've gone through. Some more so, some less, but did not dislike them like I dislike a Hyundai, or a Buick.... But what I've seen of the F10 -- it's in the same category (for my tastes), as the latter! It looks like they replaced Bangle with the chief designer from Yugo! Yuck.

It looks like a Honda, in other words, a car that does not crave for attention.
So yes, I am dissapointed.

Not impressed at all, I am disappointed in the look since it does not set itself apart from 3 and 7 series or even other cars on the road. I'll stick with my e60 for a bit longer.

Great looking car! Only thing is the rear of the car that reminds me of a Nissan Primera.
