Will they gain market share? Will there be a new direction for BMW? Most of their growth I think is in the Asian market therefore that might mean catering to Asian demands more than the USA, unfortunately for us. Hopefully he will bring back some performance and design reflecting BMW's great heritage!

The E39 was designed to be the best it can be at the time. None of the following have same philosophie. I have one for 17 years now....not gonna sell it ever. It is one of the most classic car BMW ever made. There is a way it drives, it feels that is lost. And quality built, materials its second to none. The e 46 is still a benchmark for 3 series how it should feel driving it. Then there is the 1st z4 .... dare to anyone likes driving getting the m version out on twisty roads or track. The mechanical way it feels its priceless. Z3m clownshoe another ugly masterpiece. Granted none as fast or economical as the new ones but...they have the bmw magic I like. No supercars but men I love the pure engine noise, mechanical feel and most important how it makes me feel up on a twisty mountain road. the e90m and e60m, have my favorite engines. After this bmw became faster, more efficient, more luxurious...but the 3 series in particular kinda its magic feel. Speed has become focal point instead of general feel. |

Yup, and F series is the worst offender, G is better but still not back to its roots and given the larger customer base probably never will...

I can't seem to understand all the hype about electric cars..yet Sure, EV's are fast, but isn't having that angry roar when you mash the throttle like 70% of the driving experience? |

The Asian market which is what BMW are targeting with some of their models love big grills hence why we have monstrosities like the G11 LCI. I actually met Harald Krueger last year at the Goodwood FoS, nice enough guy but clearly, something has gone wrong for Mercedes to have overtaken BMW. Not sure if he has the final sign off on design related decisions though?
