To the poster who spoke on BMW becoming too Chinese...or whatever...really homie? Assuming the parallel universe where that's the case, would it be wise for any worldwide conglomerate to ignore the tastes of 20% of the World's population. Sounds like a solid business move to me...

It's a *very* confused design…I know it's a render, but…yeah.

If this is anywhere near accurate, Clark Griswold will love it.

We have a Telluride for family duty and I'm eagerly awaiting the Blackwings to potentially replace the F80.

Stupid. Don't know what beauty is. Really living up to the stereotypes about old German car design. Luckily others in the region are holding the torch.
BMW exterior design seems to be living the adage of luxury and sports car buyers looking for an emotional connection to their car. Unfortunately the only emotion at play here is an affinity to vomitous repulsion. Who would possibly buy this over a S class other than a hire car firm looking for a quick discount? |

Although I'm not in the market for a 7er, I'm its target demographic (at least in the West) and I'm a strong NO. BMW seems to have strayed so far . . .
The S-Klasse already outsells the 7er by 3-to-1 and the new model is a tour-de-force. Nothing polarizing about it. Or the Panamera. Or the Model S. This is not a market that wants a polarizing design. But the worst part about it is how half-ass this design (if accurate) is. Look at the Tesla Cyber Truck. They went full on Blade Runner. No compromise. But this design tacks a brutalist front end on a Buick body. If you're going to go for a strongly different design, go for it.

Artist has the split headlight concept all wrong, BMW said in the XM press intro the split light look is to highlight a narrower more interesting drl on their premium models.
The primary headlights will be blended into the design not standing out with a secondary drl |

Yes, China is taking a bigger piece of the world automotive market pie, but that does not translate to BMW favoring China and ignoring the views of the rest of the world; it also does not translate to the Chinese liking these grilles any more than other countries. Don't you think that if beaver grilles are beloved in China, then Chinese car manufacturers would be copying them and you'd see them everywhere in China? They are not. There are things that China may be responsible for, but when it comes to recent BMW fugly designs, it ain't it. The buck starts and stops with Domagoj Dukec and BMW Executive who gave him the power. |

Lately every time I see a new BMW unveiled, my gut says something is wrong and my head says to not pass judgment too soon.
I know my gut is right but Im trying to practice nice manners what is happening |

This kind of predictions are always wrong. They were wrong with Bangle cars, wrong with G8X, 7 series, X7

It has a Rolls Royce vibe. If I wanted a giant luxury car, this is perfect. Looks intimidating and bold… pretty cool. New 5 renders look so dull in comparison.
