Yes looks nice.

On the earlier topic about buttons, I think they will be there. Most of the front windshield is HUD so there might not be menus to scroll through.

Isn’t there a strange gap at top of grill, under hood and between kidneys? Open space.

Need to see more pics. Maybe some lens distortion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

At this moment it seems like a very weird design decision. So sedans will get grills and lights in one and SUV’s will get the same but with an added vertical grill on the middle. That would be so strange.

That actually looks pretty cool and modern. The first one though -

I really wish Bmw and Porsche could go back to making smaller cars. The only reason why cars keep getting bigger because SUVs are becoming deadlier because they can continue in increasing weight. It’s so stupid that only in America people want to buy cars on stilts.


Look at me and my giant bus that I drive around in every day that takes $155 in gas to fill up.. so stupid

Please start making trucks trucks, sedan, sedan, sports cars, sports cars, and not all this in between gray stupid crossover garbage.

Verdict still pending. I’ll wait for final photos and car. But I wish we knew the clothes and style of each forum member that has such strong opinions. Would love to see what fashion sense they have that’s guided them to such intense feelings. Your zip up hoody from Kohls and cargo shorts don’t give you the right to say shit. Lmfao

Charging an EV is nightmare when you want to go to a round trip. You need to waste your time and money if you are lucky to find a supercharger!!!

That design is awesome. I would definitely be buying a 3/4/M or whatever if it looked like that and hopefully drove like a BMW too.

I agree.

In all the cars that I’ve owned in my lifetime, only twice have I purchased more than one car from the same company: VAG (not even the same brand), and BMW.

Sometimes I changed because I had a bad experience with a car. Other times I would have purchased again from a company that treated me well, but it no longer offered a model that matched what I wanted to buy.

I almost did not buy my new BMW this year, because my first choice was a wagon to replace my BMW wagon, and BMW no longer imports wagons to the U.S. My second choice was a hatchback equivalent to a wagon, but I couldn’t find an M440xi Gran Coupe with the options that I want. I did consider an S5, VW Arteon, etc.

I decided that I like the X3 M40i enough to purchase it. But I’m not fond of SUVs in general. That notwithstanding, so far so good.

I actually really like this (new) new class, it ties in some lesser known, at least in current times, historic design language into the next thing.
Uncanny resemblance. Everything old is new again?

It is far more likely that you will need to explain to them why you stood in the way of progress.

The i4/i5 are compromised designs due to the styling. They do not have the low CD necessary to propel the car a proper distance with the available battery sizes. Compromises will absolutely have to be made in order to get maximum range out of EVs.

The i4/i5 do not have a practical real-world range IMHO.
