Remember when a BMW was identifiable when looking in your rear view mirror. Now a days a BMW looks so generic and so boring . Bring back Angel Eyes or Corona rings they were BMW.

The headlights for newest BMW models(x1, i5) look cross eyed to me from the front. I expect the lci have same effect. I think it’s still better than double underscore running lights that been used on many last/current gen cars, since they are so generic.
As far as g80/82 exterior design goes, head of BMW design stated that only 1 in 5 customers (2021) likes it. I think that it’s quite telling. Now on any other metric it’s much better car and I bet many owners that got over exterior, or truly enjoy it, will love it. |

We love the lights on our X7.
But I wish they would leave the M3 etc alone. There is something sacred about these lights. |

Im so tired of all this shit BMW does these days. How is it possible to ruin and fuck up their brand like this. Its sad times to be a BMW enthusiast.

The F3x in that photo is objectively a better looking vehicle than the G2x. Objectivity is determined by unbiased opinion grounded in factual observations over a large set of data. One can argue whether the opinion even has to be unbiased, especially over a large set of data, but let's not go that far. |

Does anyone know if the base lights will also change? (I assume these are replacing the laserlight option).
Also, any idea if the grill will change? Not neccessarily its size (apparently that will stay the same) but the shape and design of it. |

All that matters is that the buyer who buys it, likes it. Simple. Because if you don't like it, you keep the one you have or buy something else that you do like. I hate olives, think they're disgusting, yuck. But no olive farm is obligated to make an olive that I find agreeable, just for me. They grow what they grow, they ship what they ship, and olive lovers buy them and olive haters don't and the world keeps spinning and everyone is happy. |

We can't have it both ways. We either want a traditional BMW (like the G20) or we want the antithesis of that, something unconventional and not boring (like the G26). And I think that's what BMW has done. They've made the 3 Series boring and they've made the 4 Series exaggerated so anyone wanting a four door sedan has that choice. It's very smart. Can't see why anyone could ever complain. And atop that, we live in a world of startup electric brands providing more choice in this segment than ever before. If BMW doesn't make you happy, about two dozen others can. You couldn't say that 10 years ago, even 5. |

The stunted chevrons on this and the new 5 series look so bad. They put a full chevron on the X5/X6 and it looks good, though I disagree with that style direction. Why can't they do a full chevron on the cars? I don't get it.

Also look at the "boomer incident", they almost literally say to the loyal 760i buyers: fuck off and go extinct or rejoice and evolve towards a iX. Talking about arrogance. |
