At this point my only real “hell no” is the back bumper. I also don’t like the open “boxes” on either side of the front but not a deal breaker.
The thing is my car also kind of has those two box shapes in the front but they make it look interesting and aggressive with the “fangs”. Please BMW redo that rear bumper on the LCI. I really want this to be my last RWD manual ICE car from your brand but you’re making it tough.

Do we think they are just leaving room for the Competition version to solve all the problems they created? Straw dog product design?

Nah. That’ll just have some rear wing with a design ripped off from Mugen or NISMO.

BTW. I saw this redo of the G42 tail light on the G87 board.
I like it. What do you guys think.

I like it, but supposedly to much bodywork would have to change for them to fit. Last edited by SCA; 09-26-2022 at 10:41 PM. |

People doing a lot of photo chop in the G87 thread lol.
Check out this one with 3 series lights on the G42. It does look more BMW.

Saw it… it looks like a 3er which obviously is exactly what BMW is attempting to avoid. Many of us bitched for years that all the models looked the same. As Chris Bangle stated when he was running the show years ago… “Same sausage, different length.” |
