+1 much better than that yellow-gold they were doing everything in a few years back. Sad to see another car has dropped the manual trans option though.

Its almost as big as a 3 series now....just a few inches shy?
3500-3800+ lbs.....

And those taillights look awful.

Very E30 M3 with the fenders.

Is it just me or is BMW going for "shock factor" with their new designs. I feel like they're going with more risky design choices to gain publicity/stand out. Do a lot of people actually like their new design language?

Tail lights look like upside down 2017 twins tail lights.

BMW's taillight game on this new generation of cars have been pretty bad.

The 2 series gran coupe has these SUV looking tails that look horrible.
Then they put them on the actual SUV's (seen on X4 and X6) and they still look horrible.
The 3 and 4 series tails are ripped off from Lexus so it actually looks like a Lexus from the rear.

I like the tails for one reason... they remind me of that one emoji...

^-^

LOL. It's a happy tail end! :bonk:




And I see what they're doing with the front grill. They added the bottom holes so later they can delete the center cross bar and give us the same nasty, distended grills from the M4.

Interesting, I figured most people liked the Austin Yellow. I personally thought it had an exotic touch to it. But I guess that's any fun new color to me that looks good on a car. This purple looks good though!

Giant heavy car with squished-down interior space. Perfectly good German Camaro/Mustang/Challenger, I guess...

The 1/2 series was never light, that’s always been my beef with it. It was always a shortened 3 series and only 100-150lbs lighter than it. The lightest one ever made was 3250lbs (E87 128i).

I don’t like a lot of modern automotive design (especially BMW), but the proportions on this side profile shot are amazing. :wub:.

Personally not a fan. Too many different shapes and lines. The profile itself is good, but the details, like all modern BMWs, are bad.

The taillights don't work, BMW seems to want to force triangular shapes on the front of all their cars, and why is there is hard line behind the front wheel that doesn't go anywhere or do anything - maybe it is there for the M2?

But hey, that's how it is. Here is a rendering of the new 7 Series based on spyshots. BMW is doing BMW to the extreme.
