Working in this industry and I understand how "design" works, allow me to tell you, BMW is ahead of time with it's designs and technology which makes these designs in real life. Stop judging cars based on some speculative rendering. |

Not a fan of the way the M looks, and I always go for the M sport version
I hope in flesh the car looks better, while not a surprise with all the spy photos, the dashboard copy of the 7 is simply another bad news, don't like the disconnection between the center console and the upper side, the 7 design fit the purpose for what the 7 buyers are after luxury and comfort, replicating the design on the 5 suppose to be on the sporty side is simply not on let along the Audi way of doing cars copy and pace and change the size! This time around I pray the car in flesh will shift my thought, just like with the E60 and F10. Last edited by martin mustang; 10-03-2016 at 12:16 PM.. |

It does seem from this spy shot that it will have two cameras at the top (for 3D?) for semi-autonomous driving. Versus the one camera currently on the F10. |

I' am not pleased how BMW seems to distance itself continuously from its own plethora of asceticism, which was, remind me... driving dynamics. There was a time when BMW preached to the world that balance, composure and control where holly and not to be compromised, what ever. "BMW will never do turbo since it's crap." "M will always be manual". "BMW will never do diesel". "BMW will not go into suv". "BMW is loyal to RWD". lol, what a joke! I guess, that marketing and time proved that all this was pure mumbo jumbo and make believe. All this being said, I still will probably aim for a G30 next year, and not the Audi nor Merc since the BMW will still eclipse them in the vehicle dynamics department. |

Seems total none sense to me also. No proof of this assumption possible though, just a wild idea that pops up every time a new release receives a luke warm welcoming of the press. Maybe I'am naive but I believe what I read about a car. I believe it's the honest reflection of the journalist (which is partially subjective and biased of course).
Certainly, the MKT departments of a brand would like to eliminate the press, since that opens the way for them to sell turds for gold to the wide public. Thank God we still have press to keep the manufactures focussed on delivery. Last edited by KoenG; 10-05-2016 at 06:06 PM.. |

The lesson here is to not get too sentimental about a product produced for profit by a corporation, unless perhaps you're a cousin of the Quandts. It's tough, as BMW honed its product experience into a cult as effectively as Apple, even as the gap between these and lesser brands narrows. I mean, I came out of the BMW Museum - their best marketing tool - feeling a part of the brand's 100 years of performance and technology, giddy to return and pick up my next BMW. But alas it is a just a product that happens to suit my tastes a bit better than its competitors. Anyway, off to go pick up an iPhone 7. . .

Seen the car this weekend during our closed room event.
People that expect an revolutionary design will be very unimpressed, because the car bears an evolutionary design. It looks fresh, suits the new 5 series. It looks like a G11, but a lot more compact, with beautiful lines and design cues, suitable for the G30. Interior has been even more refined, with most of the goodies ported from the G11, with some extra as well. |
