Love it! I rarely say that about anything new BMW releases anymore but this looks so great.

Still not into electric cars and stuff but oh well LOL

I like this concept overall. Externally, it looks better than some of the current designs (ie 7 series). I have some reservations about the new iDrive. Love to see more info will be on the windshield but looks challenging to use on the move. Also, hopefully in production the steering wheel will be rounder and it will have real buttons.

All trace of racing inspired heritage has been sucked out of the seats, replaced with the kind of office chair you’ve been sitting in all day at work. It looks like a medical pod from some horrible science fiction show.

It looks like the type of car you see in a movie where the hero is sententenced to being cryogenically frozen in a cryoprison, is thawed out 90 years later and finds that the entire world has lost all semblance of edginess and cool.

Not only do I not want to drive it, I don’t want to look at it either.
I wish I could write like this. It puts into words what I was thinking. It will be a neat trick if BMW can turn all this high tech gadgetry into an ultimate driving machine.

I think it’s a great design. What would be cool is if they did the full electric and one with a hybrid 4 banger. Just a thought.

I like it, so many retro design elements from BMWs of the past especially from the 70s era. Love the shark nose, big open airy bright greenhouse. Has more of an upright stance just like the 2002.

If you really know BMW, the Neue Klasse concept should be admired. It’s a return to BMW classic design.

I'm curious how the new kidneys and this holographic element will make it into production. The light elements are obviously not strong enough to light the road. Would love to see a render with the "headlight" portion of it with halos or half halos like on the current G80/G82

This concept is....interesting. To me the front-end is new, exciting, and looks cool where the rear looks like a lazy attempt at being 'retro-futuristic'. Those seats look incredibly not comfortable. A complete absence of design for the dash makes my brain shut off in boredom. While the Panoramic Vision is a unique new addition, utility wise it seems pretty pointless and could become distracting for who's driving. Also, following behind this car at night could get annoying with its over abundance of taillight so hopefully they tone it down a notch for production. Overall, it's very clear which clientele base BMW's going after with this one.

Notwithstanding the gifts and blessings of technology, I actually prefer a telephone that’s attached to a cord and automobile travel associated with gears and foot movements…both have their advantages 😃

Don't forget about the warm sound of the vacuum tubes in your stereo.

The design compulsion to “futurify” cars because they run on electricity is so boring and lazy.

I have a feeling, not only roof but side windows will be fixed. Only lower part will be possible to open. They want us to drive and travel in glass box without option to open the window or roof. What is going on here?!

I think the outside is attractive, good shapes and lines and a nod to the past. The interior colors are cool but I just don't understand the lack of dash design or controls. They're literally just pasting in the Model 3 design that was first revealed 6 years ago now. Empty dash with a center screen and no buttons.

Why not try something original? Blend the current and future better? Why get rid of the display in front of the driver when you JUST bothered to put very useful things there like Apple Maps? Why not try small discrete screens/switches in useful areas to control isolated things? Moving every button to a screen is not "minimalist", you just MOVED it from a useful place to a less useful, buried place. It's frustrating that so many manufacturers are just copying this boring look and expecting people to be excited by it.
