Surprised G11 is not at Geneva Show

Anyone find it odd that the G11 isn't going public at Geneva?

Frankfurt isn't until the fall so this is the logical time to announce it if it is going into production later this year. With the leaks from earlier this year it seems to me they should have gone public in Geneva.

They probably won't unveil it until summer.

I actually believe BMW has heard our outcry!

They are back trying to save face by improving that "facelift".

it is extremelly difficult to change things so late in the car's development except some product mix finetuning such as suspension tuning, price and spec . They are probably trying to sell a few more F01 with aggressive pricing hence the delay.

I hope they have seen what we think, and tried to change a few "Looks", as that "uncovered Picture" looked shite.

Think they'll pull it off the market for a few years?

Probably it will have same fate as Z4. BMW realized there is no volume in these types of models, and so decided to go for more volume oriented models like the 1 series hatch and the 2 series mini-van. It's part of a strategy to become Ford over a few years.

everyone here is getting all stupid because they saw some bad close-up, wide-angle photos of the car with blocks in the shocks and weird angles, and now we all think the sky is falling. look at any of the recent spy photos of the car and you can see that the stance and overall shape still looks great, the headlights and taillights will look great.

since way before the accidental reveal, we have known that the 7 is supposed to be unveiled at the Frankfurt show this fall, with the possibility of a glimpse before then in the new mission impossible movie.

it's not because BMW is panicking


I mean look! you can see exactly how this car looks, and it looks GREAT. it looks like a car for a serious professional with lasting STYLE, not like a faddish FASHION statement (S class)
