He's not faulting BMW for thinking outside of the box. Instead, this complaint echoes what everyone has been saying on this forum - it seems like BMW's designs are overdoing it for shits and giggles.
Few points that everyone has mentioned:
Joint kidney grilles - Why? It's a small detail that doesn't add anything to the design and on the 2er, it actually sticks out and not in a good way.
Body lines/creases/surfaces - way too much going on. BMW designs are usually clean. Front bumper of the 2er and 4er is way too busy, not just with weird shapes and huge vents but with creases and lines throughout the entire bumper. This is present on all sides of the vehicles.
I can go on, but that's pretty much the argument against BMW design today. It's over designing something and marketing it as aggressive and bold.
