The grille isn't necessary, so let's make it bigger than it has been since the 40's? That isn't fresh, it's just stubborn and unimaginative. And given the number of articles questioning the design and the debates I've seen among BMW fans, many would like BMW to rethink what they are doing.
Um, I'm a BMW fan and I like it. And sales numbers don't lie. They're giving the customers (the ones buying new cars, not questioning and debating the designs) what they want.
I'm a customer that was planning on buying a new car… but then the g80 design leaked. I bought an e30 instead. I don't want bmw to go backwards, and many of us don't want the to lose the elegance that attracted us in the first place. I'm glad to read that some like the new cars.. but I personally cannot get comfortable with them. I was hoping that they would grow on me… nope

I'm definitely in the minority but I love how ridiculous these big super-suvs are

I can bet it will beat all the competitors in comparison tests. But that doesn't matter in this forum

Heck, who cares how it looks? If you are having fun while driving it, others have to deal with that issue...

Tbh after the iX, this is at least somewhat a breath of fresh air. A good ole big engine, quad pipes, angry noises, bulging fenders. Like a hug from an old friend.

Ugh this is so frustrating! Why couldnt this be the interior of the xm. Instead theyre giving us the same crap as inside the x5m and x6m, m8's and x7's smh.

I saw in person today. The exterior while it isn’t my thing isn’t totally abrasive but WOW is the interior shockingly shit. I’d expect that in a Honda civic not this. Absolutely tragic.
