I'm sure I put one of those hoods on my car in Need for Speed Underground 2....that was almost 20 years ago....when I was a kid
Says a lot about the current design language....maybe they've had too many "bring your kid to work" days in the BMW design offices |

Yep. Been through all that.
Denial - There's no way anyone at BMW could design such an ugly car Anger - WTF? How the hell can BMW design such an ugly car? Bargaining - Please, please IND design parts to fix this mess Depression - This sucks. I really wanted a G8x Acceptance - Well, guess I'm getting another F82 |

When the design language is all you have left to differentiate yourself from rivals it makes sense not to annihilate decades old iconic design elements that people have come to associate with the brand. No hoffmeister kink is a deal breaker, and to make matters worse the 'reinterpreted kink' now looks like this Last edited by scoobysaurus; 03-22-2020 at 05:26 PM.. |

Incidentally, you sound like the curve flattening has you a bit on edge. Maybe go for a nice long walk? I’m sorry you didn’t like my answer to your troll-ish Audi quip, but you asked so I answered. Quote:
That said, when you are calling the lack of a specific geometric figure on the rear window the reason why you’ll avoid what will likely once again the best vehicle in the class, I think it’s pretty safe to conclude your priorities are wildly out of sync with the rest of the folks who are waiting for this car. Maybe the designers decided not to put it there because today’s buyer simply doesn’t care? BMW: Now, one last question: on this 500hp AWD performance machine we’re building, what are your thoughts about a Hoffmeister kink? Target audience: What now? Is that German porno? Good news though. Mercedes might be switching to an I4 hybrid setup for the next AMG C Class flagship. So you can vote with your wallet and differentiate yourself. And hey, maybe there’s still time to convince them to put the bent window thingy on that cherry four banger? |

PS - yet to be proven best vehicle in its class, quite presumptuous of you.

Oof. You're all over the place here. Let's see if we can do some triage on this jumbled up mess of incorrect assumptions and misplaced hostility.

http://www.bmwusa.com/ http://bmw.com This is Bimmerpost. We're enthusiasts, and we give our opinions. Yeah. Just like that. Like you do and the rest of the members here. Got it now, friend? I think that should help calm your anxiety over there. Oh, and like I told the other guy - make sure you get outside and take a walk. It helps. It really does. Quote:

While not my usual MO, sometimes it feels better to express frustration with an incoherent rant ... still disappointed w the direction and even more disappointed w all the energy and attempts BMW (whomever "they" are) expels to try and rationalize what they're doing.
