They did so much right in terms of design but.....how could they screw up the rear so badly?

spuntyb · 07-05-2021, 01:33 PM

I don't hate it

MCHLBMR · 07-05-2021, 01:38 PM

My thoughts:

I prefer the exterior of the F22 (with performance parts) vs the leaked images.
However, the interior is going to be the biggest upgrade.

I wish my car had the option of a digital dash or HUD.

Excited to see the new m2 though!

(Insert my car is holding its value joke here)

Better than 4 series. But worse than the current 2 series. I don't like the tail lights and headlights. But so glad it doesn't have the big grille like the 4 series.

Overall decent design EXCEPT as you state those triangles are hideous

Well at first I was like I can live with the headlights if the front grille isn't butchered and then I see the tail lights and I spit out my drink like Jim Carrey in liar liar "oh come on!"

Wow. The rear does not work at all. Not sure why they’ve done that. The rest of the car has a good feel about it, with the pumped arches but….nope, that’s killed it.

JTYAMSHAYIN · 07-05-2021, 01:48 PM

A pretty nice design. Actually somewhat similar to the 4 series with those silly triangles but this is definitely better. Having high hopes for the M2.

JustChris · 07-05-2021, 01:52 PM

Liked the leak many many months back.

Liked the Thundernight colour leaks.

I KNOW I will like this car. Very opposite to my feelings all the way along with the 4er.

Thundernight M240i will suit my needs and is perfect size.

At least the car has a Hoffmeister Kink, that's good

The rear screen is rectangular on top, the bottom however is rounded, that's not good.

A square setup screen makes the car look harder, the rounded screen makes the lines way softer, like a Merc C Class

The triangular intakes do look from a certain angle rather massive, don't like that either

The wheel stance could have been better, but maybe that is saved for the M2

Have to see it IRL I guess for a final judgement

Those headlight's look more like Audi then BMW

lemetier had mentioned in an earlier thread the G42 tail light design is a throwback to the tail light design on the 2002.
