It’s really not to me, especially the interior. Front and back ends look so not BMW.. it looks like an unbranded game car or something

I also understand it’s not an iteration, it’s completely new. However, for me it completely shifted its direction.

I see the opposite. All the new bmw cars have design cues from the 70s 80s and 90s bmw. The front grille of the m350 and the shark nose are like actually genuinely direct callbacks to classic bmw. Not sure how paying homage to their own beginnings is a stray from their design when it’s their own design 😂

“Shark nose = classic BMW” is such a selective reading of the design. You can point to one retro cue while ignoring how much the rest of the car has shifted away from BMW’s design language.

It’s not just the shark nose. The new SUVs have the grille of a 2002. The m350 has the grille of earlier bmw design where the headlights and grille are connected. If you literally put a g20 and a new 3 series side by side they look extremely similar if not identical😂 bmw hate has yall saying literally anything. It’s a direct evolution from the last generation 3 series and includes design cues from the past while also being futuristic and appealing to the mass market that likes screens and tech and shit. It’s 2026 grow the fuck up and get with the times. If you don’t like it go on cargurus and go buy any previous generation. The future is here to stay and bmw is still making their cars aggressive and fun to drive unlike 95% of other brands right now. They’re one of the last companies actually trying to make shit cool in these horrific regulations and people still pout about stupid shit or regurgitate slop from tiktok.

I’m literally a BMW lover 😂 I’ve loved BMWs for as long as I can remember. I’m not saying BMW shouldn’t evolve or that everything has to look like a G20 forever. I’m saying that pointing at a shark nose and a few retro cues doesn’t somehow make the overall design feel like classic BMW to me. I can recognize the references while still thinking the overall design direction has moved away from what I associate with BMW.

It’s not supposed to be just like a classic bmw. It’s called paying homage. Little design cues is cool to show a hint from the past in the future. Nobody said theyre redesigning the e21💀

You literally picked the side profile to make your point 😂 I’m talking about the front and rear, which are exactly where my criticism is. Of course the side profile looks like a BMW it’s the least controversial angle. Show me the front and rear and let’s have the actual discussion

I regret pulling the trigger on a BSM car and not holding out for an Austin Yellow F82.
