Everything BMW builds leaves me cold. In a somewhat odd twist, seems as though Porsche is the BMW of yesteryear more so than anyone of their competitors.
Just awful - looks like nothing and everything (else) all at the same time. And looks as fat as it really is. Its only distinguishing feature is the grille and here it’s not only ugly but cheap looking (in black) and very poorly executed. Looks literally slapped on.
IMHO, an awesome range of exciting concepts which also show an impressive command of the brand's design language and history... https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/you-havent-seen-these-15-top-secret-porsche-concept-cars https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/porsche-unseen-secrets-porsche-design-studios-unveiled
I look at the front of the BMW and all I see is Buck Teeth. Add a a wheat stem in the grill for the country version.
That’s another thing: what’s the deal with putting a grille where the bumper is supposed to be and doing it’s “bumping”? Don’t know how many Audis and such I’ve seen with crunched grilles—probably from a hit that would have been easily absorbed by a proper bumper.
.....I just 'placed my order' for a 960 Turismo in Daytona Gray Pearl-effekt, with a Cuoio leather & Alcantara interior......we'll see about a delivery date next Image Unavailable, Please Login Interesting tidbit: I see a hint of Karma in this angle view, as well as typically strong Porsche DNA.........anyway, I'm lovin it....
Paging JM2 to the courtesy critique white phone. Man I'm loving these concepts. Hate some of these didn't make it to production.
This was BMW at its absolute best (E39 M5, exterior and interior) and was what made BMW an aspirational car to me: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Although this exterior (E63 6-series) grew on me, I never really grew to like the interior all that much: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login And pretty much everything they've done after that, both externally and internally, never clicked with me. The current design language is completely alien to me. I spent my teen years pining after BMWs and desperately wanting to own one whatever it took, but today I no longer want a new BMW - they don't appeal at all on any level. All the best, Andrew.
Street version of the 918?? Best production BMW touring car was the BMW 3.0 CS. Best production sportscar the BMW M1. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
