I do think the wagon will look much better on the back end.

The f90 was perfect. Excellent proportions. Muscular and fluid. This is almost as bad as the g70. Just an outright miss.

Tons of folks on this forum will say that bmw needs to revolutionize etc - but to me, this is just like the Bangle era, which hasn’t aged well. At all.

People love to hate new things. I am sure they hated the car they drive today the first time the new design was presented to them. It takes time and curiosity to appreciate new things (idea, design, people…anything different)

[imkevg]

Looks good.

Absolutely not the case with my F06. Why would you buy a car that you hate visually? 🤯

This design looks to me as if BMW managed to snag couple interns from Mercedes and Hyundai and gave them one night to figure it out… 🥴

Coming from someone who liked anything that came out from BMW pre beaver teeth kindey grill era, right after being presented.

It takes time and curiosity to appreciate new things.

It does! Judging by current BMW’s design trajectory, we will appreciate the design of this car after they make the next gen somehow even less cohesive and uglier. For example, previous gen 7 series somehow does not look that bad after seeing the new abomination 😬

I think I like it but cannot stop thinking about the Accord in it

[AllaVodka]

Can we seriously start a petition to have the designers removed?

It’s a box with 4 doors. It’s like music. They’re all a variation if the same thing, almost always.

This is why I’d never kill the angel eyes. It does seem to set BMW apart.

Somebody has to provide some type of cost savings evaluation of what it means to go full touch screen.

[MRDILLONS]

I’m good with my 21 M550, I just wish I had some of those tech goodies. Don’t think I’ll be warming up to that design it hey to each his own.

[AP]

When I first saw he g30 when it came out, without delay , I thought it was a great looking car. I didn’t need to warm to it
This g60 however is the opposite

I am so disappointed with this on many levels

Other things I picked up
No diesel to be offered I the U.K. ( ok I can probably see why given the anti diesel agenda here)

Take the grill off and perhaps that hofmeister kink (which looks too much like the grand coupe treatment) and you wouldn’t know this is a bmw

I have really turned off bmw of late , what are they doing . Who is signing off these designs. I’d love to see what the alternatives that were proposed but didn’t make it

What you said mate is gold. Angel eyes were a stand out clearly. You know thats a BMW heading your way. Cant say that anymore.

Ha-ha, same story. I was regularly going for a walk during lunch time and looking at a g30 alpine white parked at the same spot every day. I told myself "I want this car, it looks awesome".

g60 is terrible front, rear and side. Interior is cool though. Hope they improved seat comfort and suspension, otherwise no reason to spend money.

[AP]

Someone on these threads state the comfort seats don’t have upper back adjustment. If true that’s one of the unique selling point of these seats

Other than possibly enhancements to autonomous driving, there is no other feature that I want on this car.

Oh BMw , what have you done

Well the sales figures will determine if they got this right

I like the new model, don't get me wrong, but the bar to surpass the G30 lci is too high.

Not exactly the same story for the inside though.

It's showing its age with the G60 release, yet it will age well and still look elegant.

The engine choices are baffling for me.

520i
520xd
e40 with 340hp & 2.2 tons
e60xM with 600hp but 2.4 tons

So 40i is not coming to EU, US only. And there's supposed to be a new 6 cylinder diesel coming next year and some hybrids.

My impression was that the 530d was the top seller, what are these buyers supposed to buy? The e40 model?

I honestly wouldn't know what to order now - if I want AWD and 300hp - I'd need to go for a B58 based hybrid, if there even will be one?

Loved my manual e60 530i! At the time I felt it was an advancement. I was also 25 years old too! Coming off my prior lease of a 330i.

Little did I know that would be the best of the best for looks!

Thought i would add the i4 vs i5 top dogs both with Brooklyn grey colour from the configurator. Seems like there is a small difference in the B-Grey config in terms of colour. Probably only on the web and not in real life. Both looks nice in their own way i prefer the i4 side, back but the i5 front seems more modern but i like the i4s angel eyes more then the i5 side drls. Also the i4s front reminds me more of a BMW in a way then the i5. Both are though great in their own ways i guess.

[AP]

When they say 6 cylinder not coming to the EU, does that include the U.K. (ok it’s not EU strictly speaking but it’s the same market and standards effectively )

Range is obviously limited day 1 and no unusual if you look at other new models in the past, may take 12 months before all power trains and options are available
For example , don’t see Alcantara headlining as one example - assuming they plan to add that.

Gut feeling is that they got this new model a bit wrong. Sure it will sell but as much as before? We’ll see
