I had a E91 325xi next to my F82 as my dog car. The front on the pre facelift is far a way from being pretty, same counts for my E92 335i. The interior peeling was not acceptable. The interior of my current E46 Wagon is higher quality as my E91. I do not like Apple products for some reason, however I would never sign up in a Apple forum and trash the design. So many other great products on the market to pull the trigger. |

If you don't like it get a P Car as mentioned in every second post. The G8x is too expensive, too heavy, too ugly... Just get another brand and let people enjoy their cars. Plenty of other people like the G8x. So much hate these days... crazy! |

But no matter what he says, in the end ugly is ugly...
And that giant flat protruding bucktooth grille is UGLY, out of place, and ruins the rest of the lines/design of the car. You know it’s bad when they’re doubling down on it and having to keep explaining it. Great design esthetics need no explanation. |

"In 67 AD Nero participated in the Olympics. He had bribed organizers to postpone the games for a year so he could participate, and artistic competitions were added to the athletic events. Nero won every contest in which he was a competitor. During the games Nero sang and played his lyre on stage, acted in tragedies and raced chariots. He won a 10-horse chariot race, despite being thrown from the chariot and leaving the race. He was crowned on the basis that he would have won if he had completed the race. After he died a year later, his name was removed from the list of winners."Looks like Nero couldn't quite handle criticism and seems to have been oblivious of reality. If you'd like Bimmerpost to adopt a Nero attitude, let us know.

It's not like joining an Apple forum to trash Apple, more like being an Apple fan for decades and then they decide to make a laptop with a 4-inch bezel around the screen and you get annoyed that the engineers tell you that you just need better eyes and you'd be able to see it just fine.

They're still there though, doing their thing. They've stuck to what they know and are good at, rather than following suit or making radical changes to their products.
I'm glad you like the new BMW design, but please don't go telling everyone else here that our opinion is wrong. I prefer the look of my pre-lci e91, over the LCI. Unpopular opinion, but there we are. I'm not going to tell anyone who prefers the LCI that they're wrong and it's a terrible design. |

If there is a demand on ugly FWD cars, BMW will build them. As any other company they have the same goal to make more money every year. |

The fact that BMW had to pay for an interview defending their design to be advertised speaks volumes in my opinion.
Regardless of sales, the entire marketing of this generation has been abysmal, and the designers attitude and opinions reflects that. Just let the cars sell, and take the criticism (whether good or bad) and improve upon it, the stubbornness is not a good look on BMW. The best strategy is to always listen and to adhere to customers, not to tell them that their opinion is wrong or that they shouldn't feel a certain way. Customers will choose how they feel (positive or negative), regardless of what Dukec and Hooydonk think and tell them they should be doing. Last edited by stein_325i; 03-11-2021 at 02:17 PM.. |

he has no point and it's hilarious seeing them repeatedly bring up this comparison, without realizing that it's not even remotely the same thing.

I want to re-emphasize that the most disturbing thing here is not the hideousness and disfigurement of the front grill or the design as a whole, it's the new leadership culture at BMW. They accept and encourage denigration, criticism, and moking of various groups of people. This is really disturbing. Dukec and his crew are literally the textbook definition of narcissism and given his background, comments, and behavior, I have no doubt that he harbors bigoted views. That is the reason why I will absolutely, positively boycott any of his designs and vehicles. |

Guys... Seriously...
It's like complaining about Windows 7 vs. Windows 10, we all got use to it, some people switched to Apple. All this negativity and hate because of some frontend...lol Love it or hate it, fine with me... I have more important things in my life going on and couldn't care less how big the grill on my new car is. |

In either case, you're buying a car that's ugly on the outside made by a designer whose ugly on the inside. To each his own I guess. |

I'm not getting mad at anyone about a car, it's just a car for me. I'm not buying my car to impress anyone, would be super boring if we all had the same car in the driveway. Nothing to do being a sheep but I won't tell everyone how much I dislike Apple. I just don't buy their products but wouldn't trash the company or their employees at all.
