M3 Number 86 · 10-03-2018, 04:09 PM

Is he like 7 feet tall? Looks like a 2 sedan lol

dizzy619 · 10-03-2018, 04:16 PM

That front grill is hideous

amw896 · 10-03-2018, 04:37 PM

looks great minus the awful grill and hoodline.

M3 Number 86 · 10-03-2018, 04:49 PM

He's late and then walked off like why am I doing this? Ha

Thanks for sharing that video. The G20 grows on me more and more every time I see it. MASSIVE improvement over the F30. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Zirenz2006 · 10-03-2018, 06:03 PM

yey! another thread for people to b***h in

positiveions · 10-03-2018, 06:14 PM

Yo Adrian, you got the wrong booth. This is the Lexus’ booth.

I'm getting a little Japanese car vibe. Not digging it too much. I loved how e90s looked simple, compact yet spacious and sporty mixed with luxury. This thing is really shiny, long and skinny like the Altimas, camrys and what not.

beemerlover13 · 10-03-2018, 06:21 PM

Which color is this? Portimao blue?

It was pretty evident lmao.. I do like the front better than the hideous lexus front, but yeah, this does have the Japanese look..

uniqueMR · 10-03-2018, 07:01 PM

Beautiful

MParallel · 10-03-2018, 07:18 PM

So, what about the vent behind the front wheel wells/arches to lessen turbulance?

That was a design fad that's already over?

M_Torx · 10-03-2018, 07:23 PM

I like it I want to see what looks like with grill open bet it look better then closed

Teutonic · 10-03-2018, 08:00 PM

Pardon my french but the guy who came up with this design elements does not belong in auto industry.
And they are proud of it? "T shaped air intakes"? No shit!

How they call the rear ones then?

"New interpretation of the LED twin headlights"? What interpretation? Interpretation is one thing, mutilation is another.
"Modern design grill"? yeah, right... Now we are talking about interpretation...

BMW, fire that team or give them a new "job interpretation" please.

I agree, those T shaped air intakes are the worse design elements I've seen lately and the front wasn't enough they had to use it on the back too.

I don't get it.
