This thread initially started with just a photo of the front, which aside from the bumper looks incredibly similar to the concept.

The rest of the photos still look good to me. Bad photo quality and color combination don't help. When official shots come I'm sure you'll be pleased.

BMW designers just don't care about the traditions of this marque anymore. This looks 0% like a BMW.

The last Z4 no matter how dumpy it was still looked like a BMW. It had double round headlights and characteristic grille feature and body design. This new one is a generic exercise in design. Just like the tragic 8-series.

Looks aside, how will it drive? For me nothing else matters. Will it compete well against a cayman. On windy fun back roads. Will it handle well. Will it allow controlled oversteer. What is the road feel. Will it be adequately powered? Everything else is secondary to me

Jesus Christ this isnt gonna sell well...

supra93 · 08-12-2018, 11:54 AM

I think it will look better in official photos and in some different colors.

The aspect ratio and the fish-eye picture of the front sure doesn't help

Judging the final looks of the car on these poor pics isn't really that easy. Full front is maybe not the best angle. Personally I think it looks quite promising, can't wait to see the full pictures.

Digging the concept mirrors more.

Here's some of those questions answered for you. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...e-drive-review

Loved the concept but production version looks more sporty. Worth the wait.

Is it San Francisco Red? Can't wait to see it in Misano Blue.. And better quality pictures.

flanast · 08-12-2018, 02:14 PM

BMW this is just awful. You have lost your way.

raysspl · 08-12-2018, 02:25 PM

Looks really good so far

It's XS size of Kia Stinger

cbertels · 08-12-2018, 04:07 PM

That giant hood cut line!?!??

Didn't you learn from the F80?

GOLFFRR · 08-12-2018, 05:37 PM

cool little car, futuristic design. not bad

vladberca · 08-12-2018, 06:26 PM

Curious about the interior? Will it be similar to the 8 series and the new X5?
There is nothing close to that poor Fiat in the front: the interior design of the headlights is totally different.
I'm sure it is much more driver focused too, on the back roads it will be a pleasure to be driven 👍

NCA Motorsports · 08-12-2018, 06:54 PM

I really don't understand why bmw is doing all this m40 stuff now. Feels like they're taking away the true meaning of the the real M

Hilarious seeing these statements in back to back comments.

Polarizing ? Yes. Sounds like it's a winner !
