I like the design, I think it looks fresh, especially the rear.

He said "BMW is not making cars for you anymore...."

I don't care how well it sells. It's still a turd in my eyes.

Nothing other than the kidney grills screams "BMW" and even then, some may say the kidney's look more like a Kia grill.




Even a new Mazda 3 is a much more attractive vehicle despite not being a luxury car. Not sure what is going on in BMW's design department right now, but a big change is needed.

Posting pictures of the same car in different angles and colors is not going to make it look better!

The market is pushing manufacturers into building every vehicle into a uniformly drab and uninspiring CUV.

As painful as it is to watch automakers adjust to this trend, I am hopeful these CUVs will continue to fund a few exciting choices for enthusiasts, regardless of brand.

While everyone here including myself is saying how ugly this thing is, and compared to the oh so pretty Mazda 3, apparently in Europe, they have just voted this 2CG to be 2020 MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR OF THE YEAR....

WITH everything happening in the world, I think we all must be living in some sort of alternate universe timeline.... That can only be the only explanation....

It's like if my butt started halfway down my ribcage instead of at the bottom of my spine. Nothing "grand" about this imo

Let's be real, if the lease price is low enough, it doesn't matter what it looks like.
