Seems BMW aren’t too confident on the looks of the car when they provide a very dark coloured car in a very dark studio concealing most of the design details. A mineral white model displayed in the Australian sun will reveal all. 😊
If they were not confident about the design they wouldn’t make such bold moves. Bmw is not afraid to take decisions and play around with the looks, design. The problem is it takes customers/journalists a while to get use to the new looks, adapt to the changes. When the g80/82 m3/m4 came out everyone was going mental about the looks. Today they are oh its grown on me ohh its looks more aggressive in person. Let alone the power punch they pack. Bmw is the only german car manufacturer who is in its own lane, merc audi are playing too safe and porsche just Sticking to the basics. Bmw is evolving and not afraid to play around. I am sure you will see one live in the aussie land by the end of the year under the bright sun ☀️ your neighbour from NZ ☺️
Happy to do my bit to keep the wagon alive, individual lci m3 touring on order and I’ll order an m5 touring as well… but M owners know you always wait for the lci
I miss my old e92 m3. This actually weighs the same as my ranger raptor. I mean it’s less lame than a EV, but if Porsche can make the new 911 GTS at 1500kg give or take why does this news to weigh 900 odd kg more? Needs a 1.8 not a 18kwh battery lol.
Flat bottom steering wheel "for some reason" - literally the deciding factor for me to order the new upcoming M340 ;) I can't deal with the fat round steering wheel of current gen BMWs
Light bonnet, haha, the car is 2.5 tonnes, but it just needs to be better compared to the 4 pot Merc, so the bar is set is quite low. Ultimate driving Prius, and that’s an insult to Prius.
This is just poor engineering.. it doesn't matter how fast the car is. The engineers should have figured a way to bring down the weight as much as possible
Those door handle wells are ugly, the front is ugly, the light on the front is obnoxious and the body shape is very E90ish, not a fan, surprisingly like more and more of BMW's cars they missed the mark for me.
Whenever a new bm comes all of you dummies come yapping eww design eww this eww that blah blah blah. Mate they bit ahead of time, consumers eyes take a while to get use to them, adapt them. When m3/m4 g80/82 came out everyone went gaga. Now they are like oh its looks more mean and aggressive in person. Let alone the performance they pack. I remember when I was 32 back in 2004 and the new e60 m5 came out. Everyone went mad comparing it to the e39’s looks but today e60 has aged better than e39 looks still timeless but e39’s look a bit old classics now. Chris bangle design still looks new. Anyway give yourself sometime it will grow on you.
It's good to see you in action again Tom. I reckon that my budget might just about extend to buying the carbon mirror cap....
Out of all the colours they could bring to the event... They brought a flat black M5.
Needs a v12

Nobody is buying a full EV M5 lol. Buy a Hyundai and save the wasted coin
Too heavy :(
Same weight as a G-Wagon ☠☠☠
It's getting up there for sure!
Yeah but trust me wont roll over on a track like the G

Having fake sound is absolutely stupid. It’s something that makes me not want to buy a BMW.

Why no 540i?

Very nice car
Beautiful
It seems people either love or hate the design.

100%. The whinging from folk is incredible.
No one cares what you think. You are not the target customer and you cannot afford this car or any new M car so just shhhhh
Very aggressive
This thing is ugly
Looks like a Kia
