Sure, autonomous driving systems require different inputs at longer distances, and yes cameras have better resolution and more data throughput, but tossing radar altogether was a HUGE mistake on Tesla’s part… the cameras and vision processing just aren’t there yet.

LMAO, looks like a Corolla that went to the gym and bought some new threads trying to impress the ladies.

It still looks weird but goodness is the front made better than the I5 by just separating the kidneys and simplifying the lower portion.

advantage20 · 08-04-2023, 11:38 AM

Might they have gotten the rear bumper wrong?

beammeupscottie · 08-04-2023, 11:52 AM

Meh, I like it! 👍🏽

JMD · 08-04-2023, 11:56 AM

I think it would look better if BMW had just carried the F90's grill over,...and added some Honey-Cone Grill to the lower bumper area!

Although I did take time to integrate a G90's grill,...I did add some "Honey-Cone" to the lower grill and some Bright-Eyes!

Hope CARWOW doesn't mind...

hufington · 08-04-2023, 11:58 AM

The more I look at it the more it looks like toothless grin.

Habs · 08-04-2023, 12:04 PM

Looks like a Honda civic SI R, boy racer type

I hate all of it

Trojan4evr · 08-04-2023, 12:20 PM

I love the way it looks. Can't wait!!!!

eljay · 08-04-2023, 12:21 PM

The kidney grille isn't that bad, but the bottom center opening in the front bumper should have the opposite angle: if the bottom of the bumper was flat or inward relative to the top edge, it would be much better.

I wish BMW would take a hint from this render and see that there's no need for the gloss black cladding all around the car!

I’ve been hearing this more and more from people who went the EV route only to return to ICE after the initial thrill wore off. Speed is one type of fun obviously, but there are reasons plenty of enthusiasts still have the time of their life in sub-300hp cars that the all out speed of EVs have not replicated at this point.

I gave the hydrid-sportcar thing a honest try with the i8 but it just wasn’t a good fit. I do miss those doors a lot though lol.

RNigel · 08-04-2023, 12:59 PM

I don’t know about this one chief

Technoboylt · 08-04-2023, 01:06 PM

I doubt it looks like that. I ran into it being tested near Death Valley, CA. Here are the pics I took.

That’s literally the same video that started this entire thread. 😂😂😂

The true enthusiasts of BMW are not satisfied with this design language in the last couple of years. It's more upsetting when we know that they are capable of designing stunning cars like the f80 or f90. It seems like everything is just a downgrade visually, but an upgrade in terms of mechanical parts like their engines or transmissions. At this point, I would rather wish I was the owner of this company so I could custom-make a G90 with the newer engine in the F90 chassis

GeorgeA · 08-04-2023, 01:19 PM

Why does it look like a 2 series sedan? Looks so small.

I absolutely agree

So iconic it’s sad they’re now gone

At this point I’ll take anything without buckteeth or pig nostrils.
