Give the people what they want!
Apple really gets their fan base so is Porsche!
I really dont get those controversial designs, i still find the X7 hideous. I saw the 2 series i couldnt believe it, the car it replces is just an all around better car! The new G20 looks good. There's nothing bold about copying what Audi or Lexus have been doing in the last few years with their big grills! Why cant we have the next M3/M4 with subtle, classy looks like the G20? Most M cars owners are into the M2 type design and none of that nonsense like giant grills etc. A good compromise would be the giant grills on the 4 series and retaining the G20 grills on the M cars. |

And inevitably 10 years from now there will be people praising the design and complaining at the then new model, just like what happened with the bangle era cars.
Get over it. |

Funny how you used a mediocre picture of a bangle car with a scraped bumper vs a professional photo of a pristine e30 with aftermarket wheels.
I think the Z looks nice. |

I'm at the acceptance stage of grief on the grill. At this point I'm just sitting back and looking forward to watching their sales burn like a Minnesota riot.
BMW will learn when they their profits are down from styling disasters and supporting oppressive emissions regulations. Have fun with that BMW.

recent big grills ll never be a classic like in new 2..
its not esthetically proportioned, all classic cars are well proportioned.. even E65 has some unique character..

BMW-Ford-Honda-Volkswagen support oppressive emissions regulations that I find extremely unattractive from an automotive enthusiast's perspective. https://www.consumerreports.org/emis...uel-emissions/

Some added stop and go civility is likely welcome for some as a give and take. I’ll need to drive it before I hate on it. It’s not going to be comparable to a slush box of the E36 era though, that is for certain |

We don’t know. No weight is leaked. If I recall right the F90 M5 is lighter than the F10 M5 even if it changed to ZF AT AND added AWD. granted the F10 is a porker and BMW worked harder on keeping the weight of the F8X in check so less low hanging fruit but again we don’t know.

Agree, I am actually someone who liked a fair amount of Bangle products, however the E63 6-series, along with the Pre-LCI E65 7er, were never one of them.

The people don't know what they want. I remember all the articles that dismissed the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. If you ask the people what they want you get something like Homermobile.
Great designers, product managers, and market researchers are able to understand what people actually need and want and then give it to them. |

After the E65, E63 etc., BMW got Bangle on a short leash, a lot of products under Bangle went back to mainstream BMW's.
