The car itself is great IMO. I happen to just find it difficult to see myself driving this based on the station wagon/Mini van or MPV proportions and not being a true SUV. I was hopeful after my i3 and this was going to be my next vehicle but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to see myself in it. The price point does not look to be below $80K. At +$100K there is zero chances of me buying this.
Hoping the i4 doesn't disappoint in design. I'm not concerned about a few miles or a few seconds performance difference from Tesla.

BMW is destroying the brand with these atrocious Grills. It's pretty bad when you try to find reasons to like the design. I hope they will reconsider.

BTW I'm not attacking you personally...you literally sounded like you worked for BMW in that post so I asked the question. If you like the design that's great. You know what they say about opinions, everyone's got one.

BMW designs used to be more sophisticated, subtle and the body lines showing the power of the car. Now, it's very busy design, too many cuts and edges with different color shades. It could be the market demand, I'm not an expert. Let me tell you, KIA is doing really great job, making simple designs which stand out. take Stinger as an example, that car got so much appreciation from all kind of enthusiasts and it's good performance wise too. I see them often on track. |

Who is that chick? Is she a motoring journalist or just someone with good connections? Always seems to be reviewing latest models and has exclusive reveals. How does she get her mitts on those?

So we are saying if the iX sales well it must be because of the grills?

For some people, the brand turned their backs on them with the death of hydraulic steering. For others it was turboing every engine... the more you polarize your costumer base the more people you will find turning to other brands. BMW was just trying to expand their brand appeal with 30+ model types while losing their history and what they became popular for in the first place.
And now we get big ugly grilles. |
