I have a lot of trouble liking the design of this car. It's lost a lot of the design elements that are characteristically BMW—particularly the Hofmeister kink. The rear 3/4 of the car doesn't even look like a BMW anymore—it looks like an Infiniti or other Japanese car.
Really disappointed with this and other recent BMW designs: The 3 looks Japanese to me, the 2 Gran Coupe looks like a Hyundai or Kia in its proportions, and now this? Hate to say it but I think BMW's SUVs are the best looking cars they make atm. |

I'm sorry BMW but no more videos or photos can justify that grill design.

Can we just boycott any media regarding this model? Negative attention is still attention.

The grills still aren't large enough. I propose this render for the LCI.

So looks like you will have trouble running a tow hook licence plate holder here in the US with how close that tow hook location is to the front parking sensor (passenger side of the grille). Definitely looks like it would get blocked by the plate and inadvertently set it off

I gotta admit the more I look at it the uglier it gets.
It just looks like a mish-mash of other cars to voltron itself to the amalgamation of what you see before you.  |

The front grill and license plate - whether EU or US spec - have very little chance to peacefully coexist and create visual harmony.
The only salvation for US plates is a tow hook mount with its own set of proponents and detractors. |
