Actually they made one great looking BMW last year. The BMW 3.0 CSL. But yeah, mostly when BMW makes something actually good looking, its stays as just a concept car or a very limited run.

[@schrodingerscat1863]

Wow a BMW that doesn't look like crap, real shocker these days. Maybe they finally got the message. Looks well thought through, modern but has all the unmistakable BMW beats. A confident and elegant design that actually looks finished.

[@royalmale2412]

You said it right !

This concept looks as if it came from a parallel universe in which BMW hasn’t lost its mind. I hope you’re right about the fact that this is the start of a new direction in their design.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

We've already seen the neu direction in their design on 3 dedicated BEV NK Concepts, have ANY of their Como concepts made it into production?

This bmw concept was what I believed to be the future 2025 in 2011

Its a shame they didnt sell it. It would have helped differentiate the z4 from the supra

it's literally a Z4 but with a station wagon end... and that's indeed on production. Even ADRO is making the new M2 bumper based on that of the Z4.

Line flow, cleanliness in shape, sportiness, body proportioned sized kidney grills! Someone in BMW has committed sacrilege against whatever they’re designing in the last 5 years! And I’m glad! Great job!!

[@joshuathomas512]

idk this just feels obvious, but BMW is the only brand with a vertically split grille, so a complementing center line down the car or anything exemplifying symmetry just works perfectly, not sure why they never do it and even at some point tried to hide the split grille, it's what makes the brand

[@AndreiGonzalesDesign]

They’re doing it more now - new G series cars all have the centre hood carving

[@freeskier6377]

Finally a good looking design from bmw- getting some Aston db11, db9 vibes from the rear lines, lights, exhaust, ducktail

The rear is straight up db11 db9 😅

[@fluxcapacitor]

The horizontal kidneys are so much better!

[@oviii.11]

fr

[@AndreiGonzalesDesign]

One thing notable element here is that the design is very clearly defined by the donor car (8 series). The lines are “classic”, but this isn’t in line with their new monolith design approach, because the current 8 series was conceived prior to it. What that means is that outside of a limited release of cars built on the current 8 series, we won’t be seeing this approach on any of the upcoming cars. What I would like to see them carry over is the shoulder line to headlight to grille approach. That could absolutely work with the Neue Klasse cars.

[@Orozco_PNW]

Thank goodness. They have been obsessed with adding fussy details and folds/angles like a Lexus. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come! Almost reminds me of the design cohesion you see in a Volvo.

[@Slimrick310]

[@claytonj2024]

I like how the rear end has a crease similar to that of the S650 Mustang, it's really well implemented here though.

[@jeffs6090]

I want to see this design on all their convertibles. Scale down for a Z4. A new Z8. A full EV new i8. Etc!

[@avigator]

The most important thing about this BMW concept car is, that the headlights are real headlights, not just daylights. Hence, a split design isn’t necessary anymore.

[@OmarDenarzi]

Truly a gorgeous masterpiece

[@iosgaming2824]

I think it’s just what they intended for the 8 series to look like because none of the the cars in their current lineup or future cars like the neue klasse ones look like that. I wish the rear didn’t look like rolls Royce’s new coach built cars too because it implies either rolls Royce got told by BMW that they should model their model like the skytop or bmw copied rolls Royce. Doesn’t look like a car worth 500k. Looks like what a hypothetical facelift of the 8 series could be or hypothetically a new generations

[@fenrirslip]

The rear looks more like an Aston Martin DB11/DB12 if you ask me. Which isn't a bad thing.

[@iosgaming2824]

@@fenrirslipI see Aston in it but really more rolls and I don’t mind car companies taking a bit of inspiration from other brands since it’s not them trying to make the same car and also because my favorite car Mercedes knows a thing or two about taking inspiration from other brands.

Literally BMW owns Rolls Royce and I do see a lot of Droptail inspiration in the design

[@kirillmfs]

I was at Como lake this weekend and saw this concept in person. It's clearly inspired by 6 Series from the 80s. One of these stood nearby at the same event. The central fracture line of the front end, the reverse slope of the nose, the sloping line of the trunk, the wide rear lights...

[@SilentSwordOfNight]

Wheels are symmetrical to other side. I love that. Most of the wheels with leaning arms on it are using both sides of car. That cause asymmetry on each side of car because for example if one side of wheel arms are leans rear of the car, the other side are leans on the front because of they flip same wheels on the other side. In this car wheel arms are leaning on the back at the top of wheel center and it's same at he left and right. So this car has 2 wheel sets and left wheels contrary to right wheels. I LOVE THAT!

[@Mx54689]

The only thing to add is PLEASE PLEASE do bring this car to market, it will be an extrem success!!!! The design is simply stunning...

finally, bmw designed their timeless design well in a new fashion, flowy/structured lines on the front are really nice

[@keithartworker]

:53 Stopped the vid for this thought: In the 90's, I used to compare BMW and Honda. Two car manufactures who make motorcycles and have never been owned by another auto group. I believe both companies have , internally, suffered from their own hype/success. Both companies have been "Bangled" in one form or another. In their search for the next great design, the designers have tended to navel gaze into the past. Meanwhile, South Korea, has arguably stunned the world with fresh designs from high end Genesis to low end Kias. Good for you BMW. This is the real future ready design you deserve! Now, Honda, wake up and actually style the Accord like a grown up.

[@BlakeMcCringleberry]

It is an awesome throwback to the 507/Z8 style. A side vent ahead of the door would perfect the design, IMO.

[@lbnewell23]

It almost looks like a modern interpretation of the original 6 series and I absolutely love it. And I pray they release it because the Z4 shooting brake is the only other recent bmw that makes my jaw drop for good reasons. The only thing this car is missing for me is a V12

[@MrSzwarz]

This is the best looking BMW since 90'. So good to see it back!

[@TimeisReel]

Please let this be the "Future Face" of BMW...

[@lenkwanehmodiba9278]

The 5 series g30 is also a classic design, especially the one with the circle LED lights...

[@BallTickler420]

Circle? There never were full circle ones for the G30. The stock LEDs were sort of half circle, half square (and honestly look very cheap in person) and then there were the Adaptive LEDs as an upgrade or stock in the M5, with the 2019 idrive 7 update the laser ones were added with the blue elements in them and then there's the LCI with the new, square and ugly ones that look like a Skoda.

They kept the old dashboards, covered them with leather and are selling them for 100 times the price. For the price they asked for, I would have preferred a separate dashboard with analogue instruments, with a little more attention to detail (including the materials). In my opinion, this solution is a disgrace to say the least.
