One of the most ridiculous cars I've ever seen!

Broncho · 03-16-2019, 05:00 AM

Are they serious? I thought the future thread was a joke, seems not.

MashinBenzin · 03-16-2019, 05:43 AM

You do have to wonder what they were smoking when they came up with that?

To think Bangle was criticised, the E60 now looks svelte and still modern apart from details. I always did love the E60 though.

I thought it was hideous at first, but I now I'm finding I quite like it!

I am half Chinese though, and I suppose it's aimed at the Chinese market.

I think that picture is from the worst possible angle.

The big grilles work well on the X5/7 in my opinion, but not so sure on a saloon.

Fair enough to aim it at the Chinese market tastes though, that's where the volume is for the big saloons I expect.

Good god your right the future thread has come true... truly awful..

RobUK · 03-16-2019, 06:37 AM

Why don't they make it with normal grilles then offer a 'Chinese Pack' that includes a couple of black and silver striped dustbin lids you can attach to the front.

They wouldn't look half as bad if they didn't take up part of the bonnet and were sat lower. That would make the world of difference especially to the new 3er.

It's from the official bmw Instagram account.

The msport variant looks better I think. Took this one at the dealership.

That’s worse

JustChris · 03-16-2019, 12:40 PM

It's a bit much. What is actually wrong with 911 levels of revolution?

Why does someone have to stamp their mark on the 'new car'.

The F10 to me was saloon perfection, I'm still not quite convinced on the G30 somehow.

I like the G30 personally, might get one next.

Agree on the G30, I've yet to see one that I think looks remotely good. Not that looks are the be all and end all, but a retrograde step from the F10 which was neat.

mikeoz · 03-16-2019, 12:53 PM

The last nice 7er they made was the e38 imo. I had a 740i and thought it was very understated styling which hid its size. Lovely car.

Manivxr · 03-16-2019, 01:00 PM

The styling will grow on you , give it some time

Wills2 · 03-16-2019, 01:14 PM

I actually quite like it now I didn't at first, looks imposing I'd love a new 530hp 750i.

It's only a facelift though not a new 7er but they have gone to town on the front end, the headlights look cool.

SHoTTa35 · 03-16-2019, 02:06 PM

Lol maybe just me then but I thought it wasn't so bad in person.

agentorange · 03-16-2019, 02:23 PM
