But even the i3 and i8 have traditional BMW elements. It has the shoulder line, it has normal sized splitted grills, it has the hoffmeisterknick (except of the i3), it has corona rings (U-design).

I have two friends that worked on a BMW dealership, and they have been BMW fans for years. They both drives an e-tron fastback today, because they think BMW are in wrong direction. Me either was planning to order an "iX", but it won't happen after this. I drive BMW and BMWi today, but this is just tragic.

One compliment though; the crystal iDrive-controller is the sexiest controller ever made. Good job!
