personally think it's an interesting engineering concept, I just wish BMW would move away for the angular "shark" styling that they introduced with the 1st generation Z4.

It's also not an acronym, it's more of a backronym

BMW styling keeps getting uglier and uglier. I think the peak in BMW looks was in the early 2000's before the dramatic redesign. They should fire the head of design and have him paint stop signs.
