lmao come on

MadBimmeRad · 11-17-2021, 08:51 AM

Gradually, these grilles will become so large that you could put four wheels on them and drive them as a car all to their own

Zodiac · 11-17-2021, 08:54 AM

Let the new iconic design begin

M3ANSPEC · 11-17-2021, 08:55 AM

MOOOOOW over.

(Cow pun)

mrbrett · 11-17-2021, 08:57 AM

I think BMW is very forward thinking. The bigger the grills, the less use of sheet metal, plastic and paint. Something something sustainable. lol

aX3Man · 11-17-2021, 08:57 AM

Here we go…

AP · 11-17-2021, 08:58 AM

Indeed
Might as well just copy paste from other threads and be done with it!

Tallest · 11-17-2021, 08:58 AM

OK, the grilles too big we get it... but.. why the headlights now so tiny?! Have they gone completely mad?

cncmastr · 11-17-2021, 09:10 AM

It's not terrible.

P1 · 11-17-2021, 09:11 AM

The headlights are so small and the grilles so large, might as well remove the headlights altogether and turn the grilles into the headlights.

ASAP · 11-17-2021, 09:11 AM

The looks dont bother me... the XM moniker and BMW M marketing this is rather pathetic.

M3ZCPNYC · 11-17-2021, 09:20 AM

Is that the new bmw fortnite edition ?

TheBingoBalls · 11-17-2021, 09:29 AM

Hard to judge without seeing the entire front fascia. We know the headlights aren't going to be small specs, thinking it will be more similar to the iX headlights. Should be a nice evolution from the X7. This car we know is going to be massive so big grille is sort of appropriate like the X7.

Can't wait for the reveal!

The memes that exaggerated the already exaggerated grills are no longer exaggerations.

Check that, plastic is derived from oil products and the grilles are plastic.

yousefnjr · 11-17-2021, 09:46 AM

Pretty neat actually, lights on the roof and grill surround are over the top but I suppose that’s what this model is about. Looks mean.

JTO24 · 11-17-2021, 09:47 AM

What are the lights in the roof? Can't be the low beams, can it? Don't regulations determine the headlights need to be in a certain area? Or is it just a min. height threshold and they can be as high up as they want.
