Let's wait until tomorrow.

By the way, no official photos have been leaked so far. Maybe later today... I look forward to seeing the beast

I don't know what timezone/day it will be in Switzerland, but the livestream unveiling will be in 12 hours from now:

The interior on the other hand, is very nice.

That’s a stretch now lol

Car front looks more ford 150 and rear more Kia Soul 😂😉

The new X5 uses the same button for heat and ventilation. I think we'll get it finally since the X3 has it and its the equivalent suv to a 3er as well as almost equivalent in price, but i don't think people will like it. The seats look like the X3 seats made for a sedan , but the X3 with ventilation have complaints for a much harder seat and the ventilation systems by bmw are commonly complained that they don't do much in cooling.

Numerous designers at BMW have stated this in the past, that simplistic lines are appealing, tasteful and timeless. That is out the window now. BMW used to lead and now appears to be copying. The front look like a Nissan Altima, the rear looks like a Lexus IS. The interior is cluttered and overly complex where they used to pride themselves on good materials, functionality, and legibility.

Seems like we got a bunch of designers at BMW that want to change things for the sake of change.

Now I am sure these will sell like hotcakes, but BMW has lost its design edge and seems on track to lose its edge on motors as well.

Well, see ya later 😃

Yep these are definitely real... they look just like BMW configurator images: flat, dull and not very attractive.... BMW configurators have got worse over the last few years where they should have improved (I remember configuring my first BMW a 320i e90 and the images were fairly good back then)

And besides, it would have been an awful lot of work for someone to CGi all these images

Anyway we only have 12 hours to wait apparently, and I’ll be asleep for 8 of them

Nice

To me the chances of these being fake are as good as the Earth being flat

Gamb1t · 10-01-2018, 01:57 PM

My first reaction was Lexus IS derivative but with kidney grilles. It's not a bad design. I like that it has this predatory look. The front end is a bit fussy. Not sure if it's due to the sweeps and cuts all over.

I hope BMW improves on the driving experience that the f30 left so many wanting. All will be forgiven then.

BMW's marketing team thanks you for your loyalty. Their competitors too, as they can now rest easy in the design department now that they are being copied.

Only real similarity there is that they’re all blue....

They're actual tips on my wife's M40i X3.

True, maybe it can explain why some people are complaining about this new G20. When they will see real photos, we will see them drooling

Cute. One of those cars looks a hell of a lot better than the other 3. Can you guess which one I'm referring to?

atorrealba · 10-01-2018, 02:16 PM

Why would BMW ruin the F30s best feature the rear and literally copy Lexus sedan taillight

Terrible design move, meanwhile Toyota and Honda are now making priuses and civics look like Lamborghinis

Didn't know that so just looked up a pic and you are right which gives me hope. Anybody know how this works? Do you have to cycle through all the heat options to get to ventilation (like hit the button 4 times?)?

Look at a pic of the X5 on the configurator and then a real new X5, the difference is very noticable, the configurator is very 2d and flat in its renderings. Colors don't sparkle and materials look worse, thats just because its rendered, the real thing always looks better
