Someone's had a laugh with those grills. No way that's on a concept

If that's a 'kidney' grille then it must be based on elephant kidneys!

Looks like it was designed by Dyson!
At least the roads should be cleaner after that's gone by!

BMW really need to start thinking about bringing in random drink & drugs checks - unless this is part of a carefully planned psychological plan to hate normal cars so much that we all go to ‘cutesy’ EVs like the Leaf, i3 and ID.3 :headbang:

In this case I’m glad that most concept designs never actually make it into production.

It's a shame, because viewing the car from various other angles it looks fantastic.

But those grills :sick:

Classic 'shark fin' aerial on the roof rear and the profiles a match!

I like the side, the rear and the wheels. Headlights are ok I guess. But that grille? WHAT?? :sick: :dizzy:

The grille will probably look fine once they stick a big white number plate in the middle of it :thumbsup:

I know 'brand-awareness' has to play an increasingly elevated role in marketing these days in order for a product to stand out in the market-place, I've been helping Ultimaker here in the Netherlands clarify and rationalise their product-design strategy in that respect, but I just feel somewhat patronised by this.

If the 'face' reaches market in this format I will definitely feel patronised.
