Not to my tastes
A former neighbor of mine owned this car. To his credit, when he bought it, it was even worse and seemed to be moving towards "tasteful" in his time with it. But tasteful is all relative. Do we as car enthusiasts have a more meaningful opinion of what a tasteful automobile is? When the layman remarks that "that car looks fresh!" is his point of view less important because he knows less about cars than I do? Saying our opinion is more important makes car enthusiasts sound like a bunch of art snobs. "Well you just don't get it." I can see myself saying to someone commenting on the gaudy aerodynamics of any number of race cars. But if everyone's opinions are equal, there can be no bad art. I don't have an answer for this one. But good lord is that an ugly BMW.
