What, are you looking at the same proto in the url as I do? There are virtually none, I repeat...none, zippo, zero, of the lines brought to production.

90's 850 used to be my dream car when I was a kid

Wow bmw continues to seriously struggle w the rear ends

Agree, except the Infiniti looks better balanced.

yes.. it does... I feel like the lower part of the valance will look similar when in body color... the massive cut out area for the license plate surround is the part that looks awkward to me.

eeek classic BMW's prior to 2017 will go up in value if this is what their cars are looking like

I hope that in this early specimen, they just mounted a wrong back bumper which causes the trunk lid to just connect to the void and having the licence plate area looking like a huge garage door wide open.

You’re all on something... looks great to me!

People don’t seem to like ‘modern’ bmw design but I do! Hell I even think the X2 looks cool

ska///235i · 01-09-2018, 06:06 PM

Wow thats some ugly shiet...wtf is going on??!!

M-Pilot · 01-09-2018, 06:12 PM

The rear end gets narrower as it flows down.The new X2 has the same style. Is BMW trying to create a new trend or something? Well apparently it's not working... Just plain ugly!

and if not... I truly expect the rear bumper and fascia to change at LCI...

God that ass

The Google image search algorithm needs some fine tuning.

No kidding: here's the weird search result when Google processes the rear end picture.

The most hideous new design grille treatment yet ... and what's worse, there's still more new models to come

The X2 proto was also cool, the production stuff is much less also. But for the X2 I dare to state that the gap is not that huge like it seems to be for the 8. It still targets the same customers.

The 8 prototype was a BOND car that radiated serious focus and pure dynamics. The production version however is for pensioned managers that like to tour in complete luxury.

So the promise of a real sports coupe seems a lie for the time being.
