I'm sure they'll tone down the front and rear ends a bit for production, and may tweak the interior somewhat, but overall this is a great looking car!! Very futuristic, this is the way the automobile industry is heading in the future. Sleeker lines, more tech, etc. etc.

That new LC500 is gorgeous.
This is not. Hoping the grille and front bumper are cleaned up for production. The profile looks really elegant and a departure from typical BMW's. Tail lamp and rear end design works well, not sure about the exhaust tips though. I prefer the outgoing 6er to this. |

First impression.
BMW makes new car for sale sale sale purpose not for old BMW enthusiast. The car addresses to some show the money power people. They forgot driver orientated dashboard. I like : The height, the profile the fastback style and to some extent the back. Interior looks just ok. I dislike: Kidney grills are to big to vulgar and they take the complete attention. And chrome so big looks wrong to my eyes. Front bumper is fishy, not new and boring. The back is a little saggy not showing a fast or a supercar. Front lights kinda Mazda Miata or lambo huracan I believe. This is my first impression and I would like to be wrong when I will see it for real. I get where and to whom they want to sell this and I will say I believe will have a very comfortable suspension |

They do explicitly point out the driver angled dashboard in the interviews. It is just not obvious from the few photos they have released due to the longitudinal and rather symmetrical design of the center console / dashboard unit, versus a more traditional BMW dash where the upper part is like a horizontal stripe with a more visible curvature.

I get it.
If BMW management will read this forum I would say" yes I understand the 8, not for me, the 5, 7, x.... All are profit making cars, but for me like driving enthusiast could you please bring back the magic 3 series? The light, sporty, distinctive, simple car for less rich people. Good job with the 2 coupe and cabrio they are the best bmw you have today for me. but the icon BMW I know is the 3 and the magic should be in number 3 coupe not 4, the name history is satisfying to idiots like me". |

The most interesting part of this is the vision on the future of design for all of the brand's vehicles. A good example is the new "form language" of the side. Van Hooydonk points out the "precise" look with "very few lines." This is the way forward for BMW.
Hard to envision how an M would incorporate the distinctive side vent into this minimalistic approach without it looking tacked on or out of place. We will see!

Thank you.
This car is simply unreal from a design point of view. Heads will be turning and most other cars are the road are going to suddenly seem very old, including other bmws. Why would bmw turn over the design team that made this...
