Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[Uygar]

Always.

But yes, I mis-spelt Neua Klease

I thought you guys knew about the Neua Klease

i3

VERY cool, IMHO.

This, I assume, AI assisted sketch by @Uygar...

....is, IMHO, immensely far more appealing than this Autoweek illustration:

Is the Autoweek illustration a fully handcrafted image ? Or AI assisted ? Or exclusively AI generated ?

If you follow the curve of the bonnet at the fascia of the A I render. It looks like the hood outline for the i3.
Invites are out for iX3 Previews prior to the IAA premiere.
Both Neue-Klasse vehicles look like they will win the race for visual originality.

Do you know what is the feeling across the industry regarding where the NK vehicles stand in terms of EV tech?

No mate, I didn’t sketch any of that render. I just wrote the prompt. After it was finished, I tweaked some stuff with Photoshop.
Autoweek one looks handcrafted actually. Seems like they used Photoshop on the spied cars to create that render.

Got to say I love the side profile of that red render. Don't think it's far off the real deal.

The profile looks great. I can't say I'm sold on the NK front end graphics though.
I understand they're trying a new visual paradigm, but it doesn't scream "BMW" to me. In kind of the same way the EQE and EQS front ends don't scream "Benz".
However, at the very least the shape of the thing is fantastic. And the spy shots seem to show that it's well-sculpted bodywork too.

larson tends to not use ai for making the renders, just animating them on his instagram. unlike avarvarii who makes use of ai in a lot of his renders.

 

[SCOTT27]

A I can elevate the most ridiculous art into masterpieces. It’s a tool not a talent.

Ahhh yes clay

I think Chris Bangle learnt clay molding from the Ghost pottery class lol

Here before anyone comments their vacuum cleaner is louder.

I think this car looks like it's going to be an absolute knock out.

No doubt about it , its going to be a very very good looking car and another great M3.

 

[Uygar]

Exactly. They know how important the M3 is for the brand.

 

[Matski]

I'm still not taking anything for granted until it's properly unveiled.

 

[hovabongZA]

Exactly. They know how important the M3 is for the brand.

I do not see them putting a foot wrong with their upcoming new cars, they just seem to know what they are doing. I hope the interior quality will be solidly built as we’ve come to expect from BMW, none of that cheap plastics in the 5er and X3.

Agreed. I don’t think they have a “bad” car at the moment. Every model is a great option in their segment. Upcoming models look really promising too. They should definitely get rid of all those nasty plastic parts inside the cabin though.
