You don’t see any similarities?

None at all. It was a weak comparison. Here is a comparison to my PS2. Not even remotely alike. One has two separated grills. Each have completely different headlights and lateral body lines. The PS2 is a hatchback, the BMW is a sedan.

And these are just the cursory differences. There are far more than that.

And for the record, comparing the looks to Polestar which is a company who literally have in their mission statement that they are based on design-first principles isn’t exactly as negative as you apparently think.

I see what you’re saying but there are also similarities to some degree as well. At least the overall impression is that there isn’t much new here. Not that I meant anything negative to the other cars or BMW necessarily. Just that much of the design meant for EVs is not that appealing.

Maybe there is a new design partnership coming between BMW and Lincoln from 6 years ago?

With all of the positive comments in this thread and others about the overall design direction I’ve got to assume that something/someone is making smart decisions for the future of BMW…

Not for me…

I see a lot of Lincoln design language in it. Not bad IMO. Definitely not BMW-ish, but far far better than BMW's current Klasse designs.

Well...

I would quite like a small 2 door coupe based on this design

I bought a 24’ m4 specifically because I anticipated switching to one of these soul sucking electric vehicles next. I’ll probably keep the m4 for a decade or two if only to remind me of how awesome gas powered cars were before their extinction.
