This one will take some time to warm up to!
I call complete BS on italian design. There isn't a hint of italian design here.
Italian design is more in the direction of organic lines, simple yet sophisticated.
I can't recall any modern or old italian car that has these sharp lines or cladding with high gloss black details.
I'm not overly negative on G60, there are some really nice details but it tries a bit too hard in some aspects.
Interior on G30 is epic, everything is just well thought out and the aesthetics are fabulous. The protruding center dash is a work of art and the materials are beautiful. Why would they give us a modern g60 without anything of it. Only thing that is right with the modern interpretation is the clean screen and center buttons. Steering wheel much classier on the g30. Ambient lightning is way better implementet in the 7er, it's beyond my mind how they excluded any lightning in the rear section.
The G60 deserves to be seen in real before any conclusions, because it resembles some of the Bangle era, and we all know that Bangle cars have aged well.
Where I think the G60 fails is the effort put to make a modern E60, that's a hard one. An evolution of the G30 would be much easier to design, because while it is way more organic and "italian" in design it could be further developed with less effort.
G60 is a department from Karim Habibs G30 and I think that's intentional because Domagoj wants to shake up everything that is traditional BMW hence XM.
