    I don’t get how you guys can already say it’s trash. Can’t see shit. Don’t rush, ffs. I hated the M3 when it came out. Other felt the same. Now, the design is pretty much like by anyone.

    Some spy photos don’t reveal anything.

      I generally have no positive expectations from BMW design at this point, (I can’t stand the buck tooth look of the M3 and messiness of the XM), but I have no doubt that it’s an excellent driver’s car. That is one thing that they are undeniably good at.

      Still hate the M3. It’s hideous. Cautiously hopeful for Neue Klasse vehicles.

      Huge hood on a car that doesn’t need one.

      Must have been a cheap rush job.

          Also, it looks bad right off the bat, how can this be based on the New Klass?

        It‘s a BMW thing. I doubt they will introduce a car without a long hood in the next few years.

        Given which sub this is, I’m not sure if he means BMW M3 or Tesla Model 3, but saying anything is “pretty much liked by anyone” is wrong either way, lol.

    I have a 2023 X3 M40i and it’s really the perfect SUV. Spacious, handles great and ultra quick.

    I’d buy an electric version in a heartbeat.

    New Class family from a size 2 up to an X7 says Frank Weber. I see a lot of angry comments over the one pictured, but this is a whole variable class of vehicles on the platform. Frank Weber was one of the chief project managers of the propulsion architecture of the Chevy Volt and the BMW i3. He’s gone on to do bigger executive type things but I’m rooting for a successful roll-out of a whole class of vehicles. Hopefully BMW moves in the right direction.

    Looks good, the new corporate face seems like it could be step in the right direction and a nice throwback too, even when covered in cladding (which is saying something).
