Will the Neue Klasse design have an impact on the exterior design of the LCI G60 and LCI G70? or only new generations?

Good question, I think it will depend on some factors when it comes time to decide.

Maybe their updated facelift designs might be something that will blend and inline with the G50 3er+NA5 i3 as well as the G65 X5/iX5, G66 X6/iX6 and G67 X7/iX7?

I really wish both G60 and G70 will be receiving the huge makeovers for LCI.

 

[dalab]

Both G60 and G70 need to fix the whole front and rear fascias.

I don't think it's necessary, especially because of the personality of each model, which is the strategy they have been doing and respecting, each one unique, and also because I like them that way , which doesn't mean that if the new NK's look very avant-garde side by side, they should do something maybe to update them, some "more digital virtual deep" variant or who knows

On the BMWBLOG website they only wrote about the interior.

Looks quite easy to achieve in the G70 and G60.

But it’s hard to see how a touch based interface will improve the iDrive.

Because they buy a lot of engines?

Joint project
Software-defined vehicles: why BMW cooperates with Tata

BMW is setting up a new product development center in India together with Tata Technologies. One of the objectives of the cooperation is the conception of software-defined vehicles.

The BMW i5 M60. The model was voted “World Luxury Car 2024” at the end of March.
To continue increasing its development capabilities, the group is now investing in India

In addition to its large development centers in Lisbon and Porto in Portugal, premium manufacturer BMW is also expanding into India. The Munich-based company is setting up a joint venture with Tata Technologies for IT and software development in Pune, Bengaluru and Chennai. The focus will be on solutions for software-defined vehicles, automated driving, infotainment and other digital services.

A Question much asked in the Politics of Berlin on the point of any automotive collaboration?
Is…Enter manufacturer…lucrative enough for full or partial acquisition?

It shows how much is changed because Piech owned VAG in the nineties and early 2000s was like a Shark circling a wounded swimmer.
Blood was in the water and it was a question of when rather than if they pounce.

Nowadays there is little to no interest in Acquisitions due to the EV future and its greater expense on resources as product lines would have to be reimagined and developed from the ground up.

The "i5" won. It wasn't the M60, specifically.

It's a textual quote from the report, talk to them

I don't think there's any coincidence that both BMW and Mercedes are spending billions to take their own shares off the market just as China gains a potential significant foothold on the European market.

I know. It was very clear the text was not something you'd written yourself.

@martinbo , Do you understand me now? Why do I have to let myself be trolled by this guy?

How is this guy 'trolling you' when he was clearly pointing out that the press release wasn't written by an online translator?

How funny you are, funny guy, troll, but funny

I didn't know that the forum discriminates against those whose native language is not English, but in view of the NO disapproval that is conspicuous by its absence...........

@martinbo , Do you understand me now? Why do I have to let myself be trolled by this guy?

No, I don't understand you. You're not being trolled. I see you thinking you're being trolled.

You posted text which was factually inaccurate. The correct fact was presented to you.

 

[dalab]

The fact has nothing to do with it, but the trolling about the language does.

I see that he has no point with you, you are his friend and the others too, I am never right for you and that is how things are until I stop them myself, it has been about three years since I exchanged messages with you because of your offenses, but you continue "moderating", I'll defend myself, I will continue to defend myself, so I'm out

@martinbo , Do you understand me now? Why do I have to let myself be trolled by this guy?

I wasn't trolling you. Not about what you posted, or your language. What you posted was clearly an online article because it was very "journalistic" rather than a casual post on a forum. It wasn't a dig at you at all, and there was no need for you to clarify it was written by somebody else, because it was obvious. I even clicked on the link to see the original article before I posted the correction. So when I responded to your post, I wasn't correcting you, I was correcting the mistake in the article. I would have thought this was obvious, but instead you seemed offended and to feel the need to clarify you didn't write it.

Clearly other people recognise I wasn't trolling either, so I suggest you take a breather and stop seeing persecution that just isn't there.

How funny you are, funny guy, troll, but funny

Nobody is discriminating against you. However, I have pointed out to you several times over the last year that you're clearly using an online translator, and one which doesn't get it right every time. This clearly causes misunderstandings, and on occasions you have taken offence at something I've said that just wasn't there. I would have hoped that you would have this in the back of your mind when reacting, but it seems you don't. There was a post a couple of months back that you just completely misunderstood and thought I was attacking you, and yet when I explained to you what was meant and I wasn't, you just wouldn't listen.

I work with about 25 different nationalities on a daily basis, and have done for the last 24 years. I'm well aware of how things can get lost in translation, and I am also incredibly impressed at the way some people can speak in a second or third language like it was their mother tongue, especially when I only speak English. But you have to understand that online translators are not perfect.

 

[dalab]

I wasn't trolling you. Not even a little bit.

You know well that if you did it, there are ways and means of saying things, it is honorable to recognize defects, a good start

I understand perfectly, although I never seem to want to argue with you or anyone else, but talking heatedly doesn't bother me.

I suppose your past years of overbearing and rather absurd arguments with me, predispose anyone to take your comments sometimes fairly and sometimes not so fairly, is what I can say.
