They're indeed fuglier than fugly. I've had many BMWs but that BMX iX3 looks really bad. Don't know what they were smoking.
Wife's daily driver is a 4-series "Gran Coupé" (weird term to say it's got 4-doors and not two like the "coupé" but... "Gran" is not a french word: the french word would be "grand" so I think they somehow fucked up [1]) with the B48 ICE engine. Sweet car and really good looking.
But yeah: to each his own bad taste.
[1] not as bad as Audi and its "e-tron" where "etron", literally, means "turd" in french.
Both in software hardware and handing.

I think it even surpasses Chinese brands.
