I know it's fairly late to be asking this question since we've seen the car for months already, but I am curious: do you like the lines on the F10 hood or what?

From the exterior, it does look pretty good. Different story behind the wheel. When parking, it made me feel like I was trying to dock a tugboat. The hood appears very flat and wide when driving. Just my opinion.

+1! The hood lines makes it impossible the see where the side of the front fenders go.
One misses about 8 iches and that's a lot. Therefore the PDC is a must on the F10.
The hood looks nice from the outside, though.

I don't like them - there are too many and they are too prominent. It reminded me of the Chrysler Crossfire :thumbsdown:

Yep, real problems, I think thats what make the car seem bigger.
Looks great! IMO
I just raised the seat up slightly, seemed to do the trick

I hate ragging on the old thing as I love bmw and I really really wish I foundn something nice to say about the f10 but the hood lines are one of the first thins I noticed that I hate. Its a la the updated 3 series and even the last model year 6 series and the new 6 have similar hood lines. I LOVED the e60 and 6 series hood. Not overly busy but had nice dips on each side but flat otherwise-was simple and great. I dont know why everyone was dissing bangle's flame design when the new f10 has even more lines and busywork. The e60 had more aggressive lines but less of them. Once again just another piece of the f10 that is fugly
