I know it’s just a render…. But mannnn…

It’s just tough being a bmw fan these past few years…

I miss the days when i’d be excited for any new concept or models from bmw, now i’m just always *sighing…* and praying and hoping it’ll look “okay”

Oh Brother.... 🫣

Not surprising, #1 sellers are SUVs and BMWs SUVs still look good (excluding XM) and have new tech. Audi's are boring and have 7 year-old tech. Audi SUVs also drive like crap.

BMW can afford to make ugly cars, but they can't afford to butcher the looks on their bread and butter, the X5.

[BimmerXdrive]

This is a joke right ?

It looks futuristic, the headlights are now part of the grille, I kinda like it, just make a manual version of it, even just a manual 330 then I’m in, better yet, make a touring in manual.

BMW does large SAV’s better than anyone. Comfortable, efficient, powerful, dependable (except for the brake booster issue), and luxurious with great tech. The sedans are actually doing OK for BMW in terms of sales and I think better than Audi and possibly Merc. And look at the i5 and i7- performing quite well. Audi is in the dust.

Best looking car I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life. Good job, Kia!

[Seba77W]

I don’t know. I don’t think it’s terrible. I’m sure the actually production version will look much better than this.

[jg4c]

Absolute trash.
If the final version looks like that,
I’ll never buy a 3 series again.

The red colour doesn't do any BMW well in my opinion.

This is another version of the design which looks better I think:

[M3Dreams]

That 5er sure has grown over the years hasn’t it!

I was talking to my son and we both realized that my garage has had a BMW in it since 2002. After 23 years I can definitely say, the ones I have in the garage are the last ones. F87 M2C and a G07 pre-LCI X7 M50 will be the last two BMWs I will own.

It’s time to switch brands and move onto Porsche. 911/Cayenne Coupe time to keep the Mrs and me happy. And No EVs yet for me. ICEer 4 Life (remaining life).

Not sure any other color helps tbh. I really don’t like the curves and the front end in particular is garbage. Hopefully it looks better IRL

But recently the looks have become so bad that my wife has veto'd cars. We're in a few years old Audi RS6, I showed my wife the new M5 Touring as a possible replacement and she said absolutely not, it doesn't look good from any angle. And that's that guys, no new BMW for us.

Wow. Your wife told you what car you will or will not own? You must not work. I would not even post this. A minivan may be more fitting for you.

[m3ct]

Yikes. Front end reminds me of the 2000 Mitsubishi galant. Seems to be losing its character as a BMW.

[Tejas1836]

Front looks good, overall good. Maybe a little bland especially the rear end

[smiles-per-gallon]

It is promosing yet the resemblances are there. Front to Charger, Rear to Accord..

[MParallel]

Big kidneys, HUGE kidneys, now this.

BMW please make up your mind!

[KSERGEI-BY]

That's a mix of old Opel/saab, lolvo, Mitsubishi and God knows what else... Its an absolute trash, I bet 3 series (bmws bread and butter) will look nothing like that

[lonestar22]

im guessing whoever did this has not seen a single one of the test mules out there.

[chrisk03]

Much prefer this rear. Front isn't offensive like the G80, but looks like a Mitsubishi. 🤷‍♂️

The test mule is literally in the first post video and looks very similar.
