The front end is really horrible!! Furthermore, the design isn't clean; it feels really busy and difficult to take in. I don't think they embraced the concept that there is a lot of beauty in simplicity.

Keep making the SUVs and people carriers for the U.S market and give the CSL's to the rest of us. Never seen so much negative comment. design concepts are meant to provoke debate but it needs to be objective !

Why should we, meaning us Designers take the time to create an idea and concept for BMW to again take my ideas and concepts and produce it to not get the credit and or paid for them. My giveaway concepts and ideas to BMW NA, BMW M, and BMW Motorrad were for us to get better and cooler product on the market.

By the way the longer I stare at he hideous neon yellow paint color and tacky polished chrome parts the more nauseous I get.

This exterior paint and finish color combo came out of BMW corporate not some SEMA show crappy customizer that is why I am so perplexed by it, it instantly creates a negative emotionally response, like a gag reflex - and that is not a good thing.

Please someone key this car so BMW is forced to repaint it properly to do this design some justice!

Now that car has an aerodynamic-sized grill! That's what I'm talking about.

Strayed too far from the classic lines and lost the essence of the original cohesive design.

Please pray that some of you did not respond to that piece of nonsense because Bangle did have a hand in many of the cars mentioned in the comments that individuals think they have a Bangle-Free car.

Great direction on concept. Thanks for going out on the lim and taking risks while bringing some heritage into the mix. Needs a little fine-tuning and refinement and we are good to go. Count me in for one.

For the record; I miss Bangle and his boldness of ideas. He was mocked but he moved design forward for all the luxury brands. I am happy some attempt is made to bring back some spark to BMW but let's not get burned in the process please.

Danyutz · 05-25-2015, 01:39 AM

This concept, fantastic. Too bad it gets so much hate, I think that most of us aren't ready for what BMW Design has to offer.

ChrisMT79 · 05-25-2015, 08:43 AM

I'm not certain if this were done yet, but I wonder how blacked out grill and wheels would look?

No, I don't feel that is true at all. But the designs have to be cool, and stay inline regarding BMW DNA, or whatever mark is being represented regardless of how radical the concept is.

I love ultra modern wicked designs but they have to work visually and aerodynamically throughout the whole vehicle. Not just the rear or front end, as a whole their needs to be design cohesion.

Their is nothing worse the seeing a Concept Wall of great ideas and overall concepts. And some corporate jackass

picks the worst one to be produced. That drives me banannas.

Bangle had a great design language. This however makes me question my upcoming purchase. Maybe BMW could copy something from Ford, they have been killing it.

The fold over "flaps" on the front quarter panels seem completely unnecessary.

From another BMW forum: remove the unnecessary folds on the quarter pannels and blackout the similarly unnecessary chrome on the kidneys and wheels and you've got a very nice production CSL....

spiceyxi · 05-25-2015, 09:58 PM

That grille reminds me of something I saw way back in 2009.

I think these are not as special as the "Mellow Yellow". The ideas of the concept are spot on but there is too much going on one canvas. Too much grill, too many coke bottle curves, and I believe too much wing in the rear.

The silhouette, stance and proportions are spot on and need refining touches.

ben796 · 05-26-2015, 06:19 AM

Absolutley stunning looking car

and it really emphasises what BMW are capable of creating when they let a design team let loose.

I reckon we could possibly see some of these design cues in future BMW production models.

My local BMW centre (Knights BMW) put together an article on the concept car, below for anyone interested.

Haven't went through all the pages, but whatever is on the front page is easily the most disgusting design I have ever seen. Waaaaaaay worse than a Pontiac Aztec. It makes the GT-R cosmetics look like an Aston Martin. I would be ashamed to even park next to one. Hell, I'm ashamed that concept even got that far. I don't know if a 10yr old or a blind person designed it, but it literally makes me want to jump ship to a different brand.
