      I never thought I would say this about any modern BMW, but I think this car is super beautiful! And the color is top! As for the kidneys, I guess for a non-SUV car, the horizontal kidneys are kinda accentuating the shape of the car. The SUVs are higher, so there the vertical ones make sense. At least in my logical thinking 🙂 And I loved the pre-recorded part with the trunk, haha. Really felt as if you spoke to the future viewers of the future video 🙂

      By the way, is it just me or are all car trunk measurements 1 meter in both width and length and 1.8m in length with folded seats? At least in the middle segment there seems to be very little difference among the cars…

      I'll pass. The car is great, but the styling, both inside and out, is not to my taste. I think it looks ugly and sterile, sort of boring. BMW's should ignite at least a bit of emotion.
      I can't get rid of a feeling that they want to tackle this boring feel with the "funky" steering wheel, sideways turned main screen, and funky painting-like background light on the passenger side of the dashboard, all solutions that don't work fully in my opinion.

    9. @robertsvideos8702 on

      It would look good if the front was not really square looking, why don't they hire a good design team to make good looking cars any more. Also what is the engine range, an EV is not a real car ? At least slightly better than the iX3 which is an UAF brick.

    20. @VFX-33 on

      Cars today are becoming more and more lifeless, lacking personality. They put as much plastic on them as possible and you say they are Christmas trees. Not to mention that they are also very expensive.

    22. @daniged3395 on

      these new desings are made for the bussines centers. In the rest of the world.. i just don`t see them fit in with the look of real world. Some cars are going to look like shit forever.. i guess..:))

      BMW used to make overpriced reliable excellent vehicles,
      then BMW started making overpriced unreliable exellent vehicles,
      then BMW started making overpriced unreliable ugly vehicles,
      and now BMW is making this – boxy EV sedan that looks ugly AF inside and out.
      wtf has gone wrong with this brand? BMW used to have such beautiful car designs back in the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000's, and now we get this?

    31. @RappingManualYT on

      Honestly, these days when I see the new bmws out there, it actually makes me laugh out loud – I am literally laughing and vocally express "lol, it's so fucking ugly" It's crazy, they used to be like a stylish german muscle type of car, now – now, it looks laughable bro, wtf

      I think i am on my last BMW with the i4M50 now. There are so many more attractive cars in the market or even other options with half the price that it makes no sense to go for BMW new class anymore. At least for me. For sure some younger people will like these but not me and probably not many people in the 40+ generations. Great presentation again Thomas.

    38. @senorgato70 on

      I have no words. I've had a 4 Series, X3 M40i, X5 50i and X3 30. There is nothing about this car, inside or out, that is appealing. It's just shocking to me that a BMW executive signed off on these designs.

      Are they going to charge a subscription service for they kidney grill lights😂. Like you don’t pay they just shut off….
