I read an interview with Domagoj Dukec (Head Designer) and he sees the kink as some kind of worthless vestige. I suppose the only "heritage" worthwhile to him is the 303- which looks NOTHING like the new vile 4 series. My overall impression is that Dukec is interested in neither the actual heritage nor the people (enthusiasts) but rather solely focused on making a name for himself. His sociopathy is well described in his ability to shrug and ignore all criticism- a quality well-known in Chris Bangle.... Actually, it is my belief that Dukec will go the way of Bangle and resign in disgrace.

The F32 isn't a bad looking car but there's a lot of creases going on and I like the clean and tidy side profile of the G22 better as it looks more graceful and will age better. I also think the pony car rear styling lends to a more muscular rear profile. I know putting the kink upside down breaks tradition but IMO it looks better on this car and I'm glad that styling won out over tradition here. Once people get over the front grill they will grow to love the styling of this car.

I never really thought the F32 looked great, it kind of had a weird kink in the front of the hood and really needed to be in aggressive M-sport trim to look halfway decent IMO. M4 solved a lot of this and just flowed better IMO. That doesn't mean I think the G22 looks good though. I just go back to the F36 (biased) that I thought looked better than either the 3 or the 4 coupe, just flowed right. Just in general, I think the "regular" 4, 6 and 8 coupes are something that BMW has never done great, compared to the rest of their cars. I think their power has been in cars like the M3, M5, etc., which offer performance on par with other manufacturer's two-door offerings.

He would make a great neoliberal politician. The car is ugly, period. The car looks confused, period. This is bad design that only appeals to those unfamiliar with BMW and that is its target audience. I bet lease rates are going to be great.

If history is any indication of future performance, I suspect this car will outsell its predecessor. Remember the highly polarizing BMW E65 7 Series with the Bangle butt? It was the most hated and controversial design ever but it was also the best selling 7er generation in history. Sales records of the E65 have yet to be topped by the 2 generations that replaced it.

The new big grille 4 series looks like a Chinese knockoff BMW. While the G20 sedan grille looks better stille ugly how it cuts up into the hoodline. best looking grille is on the 8 series.

The tail is a big improvement, the side may be too smooth; I imagine the designers thinking that would play better with all the "activity" up front. I want to like the grille, I really have tried, but it looks disproportionate.
Nonetheless, I'd swallow it all to have a Bimmer with 0Km on it again... |
