Interesting that it has idrive7. Probably an earlier concept that BMW decided to hold back for a while.
iD7 and a full sized shifter. Must go back aways.

Looks good, but can’t unsee flaring large nostrils with the kidney grill.

Yup. BMW needs to do a Retromod E30. It'd sell like hot cakes.

They had a decent candidate with the F22. An m-lite 233is with a 3l na stick pumping out 330-350 hp would have been an amazing car. I don’t think it’s possible on the CLAR platform.

Somehow it reminds me of an elegant boat, shows some nice details like the hood, in general is a good looking car.

Oh they knew from the start this is the design for future before the beaver grilles were released.

Anything good and clean futuristic looking, they delay by 10 years. Back then competition was with Alfa Romeo hence the beaver grilles were born.

This is the way it should have been from the start.

Starts at $140,000 aka BMW XM cousin

Kinda safe design i would guess but thats nice for those who likes this design over the new one. Good that BMW can cater to a wide market and styles :-) Looks a bit like the 8 series combined with the polestar 4 back, and what is up with the copper tint on their car releasees or am i imagining stuff here.

I was thinking the same thing about the old 6 series, but that's why I liked it. A little retro thrown in. I see old 6 and 8 thrown in.

This looks like an evolution of the 6 series, specifically the F12. The F generation 6 series was the best looking BMW Series in modern history.
