BMW is gotta be kidding with us.........it is beyond awful

BMW needs to get rid of the "crystal" and all the fractals, no one in the history of ever that buys these cars, likes fractals. Just make it streamline and lightweight sports looking. Stop making it look like a flamboyant designer car.

No thanks, I'm good

gfisher99 · 08-15-2022, 02:49 PM

Not sure why they say a $125K XM is the highest priced production BMW when you have i8 and many others well over $125K.

harperium · 08-15-2022, 03:04 PM

Why doesn't BMW steal an idea from Mercedes and put out it's own "S Class"? They want a step higher than the 7/8 Series? Bingo.

The M Division should have issued something along the lines of the AMG GT, in Coupe and Sedan form.

VMcV3y · 08-15-2022, 03:04 PM

A better-written article about the powertrain and other aspects.

Still....looks like a Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a Delorean and a bucket of spare parts from an old wheel-barrow.

BMW is clearly trying to win back the non-enthusiast customers it lost to Hyundai

My only guess is that it's going to START at $125k...
So built like anyone would build it must be closer to $200k

It's UGLY!!

Berzerker · 08-15-2022, 04:35 PM

Lol, all of us are obviously going to trash this, but I guarantee this will sell like hotcakes.

BobsM3Coupe · 08-15-2022, 07:35 PM

Boy, that thing is hideous. Looks like I'll be holding on to my old out of date dinosaur 2021 X5MC for a lot longer.

Edgar_FriendlyX3M · 08-15-2022, 08:47 PM

That double headlight setup looks like shit. You see the bottom headlights along with the front grille and fascia and almost see a separate car by itself. Then, it's almost like the front end glitched and shat another set of half assed lights above it. Ask me how I really feel.

Klazu · 08-16-2022, 05:59 PM

These are indeed dark times for the BMW design language. This is when the brand ditched its glorious past for an unknown future.

danniexi · 08-17-2022, 09:10 AM

I’d rather buy an iX.

that says a lot.

I’d get this to replace my X3M. How does the same company make atrocities like the XM and also this M car?

That is one fugly car from the outside and to make it even worse, it has iDrive 8 inside. Speechless.

Just glad I bought when I did... these new designs are horrible.

Gsavarese · 08-23-2022, 08:27 AM

The thing is the 3 series and 2 series are pretty nice and BMW like. I liked it better in the 2000s when the 3,5,7 looked similar but they were really good designs. Some of these new designs are just horrendous. I haven’t been in a 3 series for awhile but the last loaner I had was an F chassis and that thing wallowed on road undulations. Thats when I knew BMW lost its way and it’s still suffering from an identity crisis trying to beat Benz and Audi at luxury and tech when it should concentrate on driving engagement.
