Compact geometry doesn't bother me at all and my mtb has very compact geometry for the same reason as the BMW. My mtb also has a suspension corrected rigid fork which looks a bit like the BMWs (although with a disc tab) and I could bar spin all day if I didn't have brakes, even with a suspension fork with control dials on top of the legs, because the head tube extends a bit below the down tube to ensure the fork clears the down tube. However, Scott's right - I'm not gonna buy one so whether I like it or not doesn't really matter! Having one with a disc with the cable running through the steerer tube would be cool though.
