G22 side profile compared to earlier generation coupes
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com To me the G22 looks more like an evolutionary design to the E92 than from the F32. Last edited by solstice; 06-04-2020 at 01:40 PM.. |

If the g22 had the same front bumper as the g20, I would buy it in a heart beat the side looks good. Its too bad the grill ruined everything

Styling is way too Asian for me, when I look at all of those cars together the new 4er looks like the one that doesn't belong.

The new 4 looks like a BMW knock off. BMW traits are disappearing with each generation and that's a bad thing.

I'm really not a fan of how the window line suddenly starts going up after the B pillar, it messes up what remains of the Hoffmeister Kink and also just leaves too much metal between the bottom of the window and the wheel arches. And to my eyes the hip and center lines also just look bizarre, especially where they overlap.
I wasn't a fan of the mega fastback profile of the F32 compared to the E coupés but this is another step back from that. The only angle I think this car looks decent in is the rear 3/4s

Notice how the horizontal line along the top of the door extends from A to the C-pillar but on the new model the line between B and C pillar move upwards. Because it moves upwards the characteristic Hoffmeister-kink...disappears

The rear window is tiny now but the lack of Hoffmeister kink is there actually a need to take it out other than to be different / controversial?

I actually really like the new design. But I want to punch the designer that got rid of the Hofmeister Kink. There was zero reason for that.

The side profile just makes me think Honda Accord Coupe, circa 2007. The back side is the best part of the G22. Previous picture of a G22 in all black with black grills doesn't look as bad.

The E21 is the best only if you can find one in the condition as above ☝️

The entire internet is in total laughter. BMW has become a laughing stock with their current design language.
