It's funny how every refresh people complain about the same thing... grill is hideous, car is too big, the gauges are awful, too much weight, not enough power, engine sucks, etc.
Yet it comes out, and everyone buys it, and BMW has record sales. If it was so hideous then their sales would tank, year after year...

It's funny how someone always points out that someone else always complains. Actually, you know what? I have a theory that the people who love BMWs for the reasons that made them popular in the first place are moving on. The more BMW ditches their heritage, the less you will see those sales grow. I think we're just in a lag and the brand loyalty won't hold them over much longer.
Absolutely hideous. Grille is too big and gross, the headlights look like absolutely everything, and something is just wrong with the bulbous proportions. The 5 series used to look serious, now it looks outlandish. Honestly hope nobody buys this. A Hyundai would cost less and look better.
This just doesn't look like a BMW. |
People change, tastes change, design language changes. It's obvious from everything around us. To expect a company to provide the same design year after year to satisfy the "purists" completely misses the point that this is a company that needs to have profits... hence adapt to the "want" of either their current segment group and/or incoming segment group.
My point is that this conversation will be had again in 3 years, with people saying how that current model is hideous, and how the LCI G30 was such a nice looking car...
Such is evolution...
