Next-gen 2er. If the production version ends up anywhere close to this, I'm going to be very excited.

My Golf 7 has it. Very nice feature since the camera is always clean.

Never thought of that , another added bonus. But this is just terrible placement on the rear emblem. That camera is going to stay dirty . At least before it was by the license plate area ... partially covered.

I am guessing they think the more they show these videos the better we will like it. THEY ARE WRONG.

Hot fix on the front fascia for the second model year please.

Lol, then in 20 years the first year model will be worth crazy money.

Was waiting to hear a "Sacre bleu!" when they showed the front.

The comparison with early 20th century BMWs is such a cop out, and in no way accurate besides the fact that the grilles are large. It's actually insulting to our intelligence. Those cars were taller and more narrow when compared to today's cars. Hell, the windscreens were closer to a 90-degree/right angle than anything seen today, adding to the height.

If they really wanted to add large grilles, they should've found a way to go wider instead of taller. In keeping with proportions.

Patronizing like this is such bullshit.

That's not some kind of groundbreaking technology - BMW had that on the 6-Series almost a decade ago.

Motorized logos to me are just like the pop up screens in Audi's and pop up shifters and vents in Jags - just another thing to inevitably break.

I can't get past the vertical video.

My 6 GC has it, very under-rated feature

What is the fake part of the grille? At the bottom of the driver's side? It has the mesh "printed" on it

cheveux · 06-09-2020, 03:34 PM

waiting for the facelift version xD

m981addicts · 06-09-2020, 03:40 PM

The four rectangled (or cross) Dodge grill was the first to make me cringe. The Audi 'large mouth bass' grill gave me pause. The Lexus smiling 'grillz' look made me puke a little in my mouth. Now, BMW? My first impression was Bugs Bunny. Autospies's 'buck-toothed' is a better description.'

Radar for distancing I think??

The girl was okay, but the grille is pants. It looks like you need a wider number plate to split the grille in two.
