I got an invite for this months ago but don’t recall a price … honestly they should produce these as an m only variant and possibly enhance more hp output.

I would be game if it was more accessible but at 50 units they will prob ask for a lot more then I would pay… yet not sure what they are asking… would totally daily this 😂

Meh. It's not ugly but nowhere exciting or interesting either. I'd rather take the 8 series coupe it's based on.

Translation: "We've got a bunch of 8-series bodies in white sitting around collecting dust, and need a way to recoup the dev cost on that program - let's slap some lipstick on this pig with some new sheet metal and see if we can find some suckers to pony up and help us fix that budget hole!"

Non-snark: it's handsome, but looks oddly dated.

42? You're being too optimistic. At least 49 and 1 wreck from a C&C.

Wow. I see buttons on the dash while we mere mortal BMW buyers have to navigate deep into a touch screen menu for a basic function!

easy money grab … needs bespoke interior with proper gages to match the style

I mean I know it makes sense as an automaker from a logistical and supply chain standpoint, but I can tell it shares parts with a 2 and 3 series. It looks similar to any cabin that bmw has put out in the last 4 years, what’s so special about that?

Appreciate the idea and effort, but nope, design wise it isn’t working, at all.

Doesn’t matter when they make only few of these. It’s gotta be much more than the XM

Edit:
I was wildly off in price. Seems like 500k euros per BMWBlog post

I quite like the front end of this car, and I applaud the effort to bring design back toward simply beautiful.

I feel like the hips might be a little bit amorphous and the lack of Hoffmeister kink troubles me a bit, but I can get behind this more than I could say get behind the new, oddly proportioned M2.

I know all styling is subjective just sharing my two cents

I was not invited to buy one of these

Unless you been in a situation with a total loss re an accident you best get full coverage just in case… otherwise your entire investment is a loss in the case of an accident where the car is a total loss…

Been there.

If you have the money in the bank, you do not have to have insurance

For the 50 chosen ones, it’s not going to be a problem, trust me having money properly invested is a lot better than wasting it on a pathetic insurance policy

Some cars are not photogenic but looks much better in person and I think this is one such car.
This car will be special to look at on the road. I am not a fan of Ferrari exterior designs but I still notice and observe them on the road as they are special.

Sticking with ID 7 and a nice embedded instrument cluster with a leather finish plus interiors cues from 8 series is quite nice IMO. But as someone else said, it should have been analog. Probably the cluster from F8x would have been much better.
