Huuuu Autobild...
I remember how they showed the upcoming Z3 back in 95.
It looked like a screwed Compact
But let's have a look at a direct comparison below.
The main problem of both 'renderings' is the missing straight line on the concept, that goes from mid height of the grill outwards and becomes the top of the lower side air inlets.
It will be interesting to see, how this line appears on the final car.
I personally think, it can't look better than how it is made on the concept. Anything else destroys the main idea of that front end design and rightly provokes strange comparisons.
