Jonathan,
You have all the fun with the newest BMW toys
... but thanks for sharing!
The 'middle' of the GT is interesting but the ends don't work for me. First, I'm not sure I am especially fond of the front treatment of the GT - looks a little 'busy'! Those grills seem way out of proportion on this car and the silver/chrome slat in the lower section seem a bit much. I suspect any "sport" rendition will eliminate some of the shiny stuff. And the exhaust outlets would be right at home on a Lexus or Hyundai (IMHO).
I suspect it'll take some time to grow on me ...
That said, thanks for sharing your well constructed and informative write-up! Great job
