The new snout is going anywhere:
Not sure if an EV that looks a lot like a $50K 4-Series Gran Coupe will make a good competitor to the Tesla S, et al. I’m also disturbed that I don’t find the grille as off-putting in this application. I hate being de-sensitized.
The hideous wheels definitely help to shift focus away from the grill.
Tesla S, or model 3?
I like it. It’s not pushing EV down your throat. Same reason I like etron.
BMW is slapping a big license plate on it to break up the grill. I am a big fan of beavers, but that grill is ridiculous.
It’s better looking than the ix at least?
In the 4 Series Facebook ads that pop up in my feed, BMW has started posting pictures taken from the rear of the vehicle.
So the usual grille comments have switched from how ugly the grille is, to how the grille is so ugly that BMW won’t even show it in ads anymore.
Looks way better than their i3 clown car
My own opinion (assuming the car is roughly the same size as a 4-Series Gran Coupe) is that it would be a natural competitor to the 3. However, multiple article say that it is expected to compete against the S. My assumption is that BMW has dropped hints to journalists that the price will be more in line w/ the S than the 3. To which I say, GLWT.
Yes, this looks better. But the i3 has a “form follow function” aspect. It was ridiculous-looking but probably made a lot of sense as an urban runabout.
I would say that the i4 more recognizable as a BMW. Not sure if that means it’s better looking than the iX. Had the iX come from another (any other) company, I might’ve thought, “Oh, that’s kind of interesting-looking…”
Yeah, just took another look at the iX. Yup, it’s hideous.
Don’t need to care about gas mileage when gas is free
Assuming it comes with free charging as a hook.
Looks like a Genesis. I’m at the point I don’t know who’s copying who anymore.
Aside from the grille, looks a lot like a Etron Sportback… like aft of the A pillar it’s uncanny.
That’s not a terrible thing honestly. I dont hate the way the E-Trons look.
Model 3 size at a Model S price.
Assuming they pass through the EV rebate.
I imagine they will look quite different in real life and am interested to see the dimensions for the i4. Assuming the Audi looks like the concept and is proportioned Taycan, it will be sleek and low slung.
The i4, to my eye, looks a bit bloated, and the blacked out lower body seems to be successfully reducing a lot of visual “weight” in the design.
