I'm a bigger fan of the 2014-2019 models.. maybe I'm not use to the 2020 yet. Haven't seen it in person.. but I fancy the aggressive contour the previous version have!

From the side it looks like a smaller 8 series. And despite hating this car, i dont get the hate the new hoffmeister kink gets. It's the same thing, it's just that the rear window has an upwards tilt, which makes the whole car more dynamic if you ask me.
Why is the rear overhang so big though? In general, why did they make this car bigger? |

You bring in the guy from Audi and the very first godforsaken year all of your cars start to look like Audi's? Really? I'm not an Audi hater It was my first German vehicle but holy shit if I would've know that both companies was going to merge (🤣 I would've stayed put lol.

It looks like aerodynamics has dictated the G22’s design to much larger degree than the earlier generations. More effort to keep the pressurized air from getting under the car and disturbing the fast flowing low pressure air. The rear flat deck under the c-pillars and the deeper trap along the doors channeling the air from what hopefully is a real front fender vent are examples of that. The wing like blades in the bumper air intakes another.
Maybe not enough to make much difference on the M440i but I bet we’ll see it on the M4 when more aggressive splitter, side skirts etc. is added. Here is a very good description on what tweaks in these areas alone can do to downforce for those interested. https://www.bmw-motorsport.com/en/to...rodynamic.html |

What I really like about bmw is the really short front overhang and slightly elongated rear, but this is becoming ridiculous. I am sure it agile etc. but the proportions are getting out of reality, is it now bigger than a prior 5 series? |

E92 was the perfect size and styling that still looks great today.
This G22 Edition is the BMW version of the 996. |

Looks like varying degrees of shit. The front is despicable. The side has that kink over the rear wheels which only the Dodge Challenger has. Rear looks like an Infiniti Q60.

G22 looks like an upper-class car relative to the older models. And it’s definitely the best looking of the bunch.

BMW now have a family of coupes with the 4 and 8 instead of the 4 being a 2 door sedan as in earlier generations. Last edited by solstice; 06-04-2020 at 05:05 PM.. |
