I must also say, I quite dislike the black kidney grilles on the F90 as it throws off the proportions of the front end and makes the already large kidneys appear extra-large. The G30/F90 is one of the few modern BMWs where black kidney grilles make it look uglier, more cheap-looking, and more "bro".

Horrible introduction colour imo. What about imola red BMW, i mean you have a portefolio of so many great looking colours. In fact any other colour would be better than this. But in general the F90 just doesn't do it for me. I know what Jeremy clarkson will say about that shifter

Investment banking technologists make very good living. The M cars are not uncommon in that crowd. Guess what ? Most grew up playing games in the 80s.

I use to play about 1 hour a day on average. (was addicted to Halo and CoD series) Since I got my XboxOne in 2014, I turned it on 5 times. Since then, I started a new job, had a kid, I barely have enough time to watch my recorded shows, and one football game a week, let alone playing a game.

But, good point. I found it odd they chose to do the reveal of such a major model at this event, rather than a major auto show. |

Marketing driven at "the kids" think is cool is still a pretty heavy influence today, whether we like it or not. You dont make aspirational halo cars by only showing them to people in their 40s |

Don't be so hard on the color. I wanna say something. Chime in if need be.
First, we all know BMW love to show off there designs. IMO, that color really show the lines of the car and most importantly the design cues. I must agree, I'm iffy too on the color. Considering the purposes for promo, I can give it a pass. : Secondly, the floating calipers issue. Why must it be? They don't do it for the (I believe the 2 as well) 3/4. Why the 5/6/7/X don't. Is it a manufacturing thing, weight issues affecting dynamics? Maybe it'll be an LCI update or some type of braking package. I just would like BMW reasoning behind that. It's very perplexing. |
