I do get it where youre coming from - you log in, check some news, and -- people go on about the grilles on every thread with that pignose car. Well, I agree, it can be annoying, but Im laying the fault with BMW more who produced a car that elicits this much bad response. It is becoming a Trump of car design, that all journalists and people love to rip on daily, and that does get tiring, as some do it just to make content and sell their stuff. But it is BMWs fault. Don't even mention their social media manager who says "OK boomer" and posts "im not impressed with your loud engine" picture. Completely confused brand. M-cars and loud noises and then electric car mocking buyers of traditional cars. |

Not with that weird pattern inside the grills, will stick out even more because of it, just like the chrome kidney's on the G22 4er.

I guess I was mainly referring to the rear-most pillar (C or D, depending on what car we're talking about) flowing down towards the quarterpanel, but still having a break in there. The i3 and iX have it, but you also see a similar style in Nissans. That's what I was specifically referencing. |

How have Rimac/VW/Porsche "stolen a march on BMW in electric tech?" I'm genuinely curious, not being a jerk. |

Strange color to showcase. The proportions look strange in some angles. Hopefully the tech is solid cause looks won't sell it

Yes, it does present a more chunky MPV/minivan look than say a rugged and upright SUV like the X5 in my opinion.

I had so much hopes for this to be a true SUV. So difficult to get behind the mini-van MPV look.
