Nope. But I like that. The i3 even more.

Why don't you cancel your appointments for this afternoon and go visit the BMW dealership? I want to know what you think of it.

I sat in the iX3 for the first time this week. Far and away beyond any other German car, particularly the GLC EV which I sat in 10 minutes after experiencing the iX3. It also shits all over the non NK BMW interiors. The 5er is just ghastly in comparison. And old.

Panoramic iDrive is a sight to behold. Absolutely sick. Flawless.
 
the wheels are huge ,i think they are 23 inch!!

20 spoke wheels

I don’t think any other German brand has nailed the look that its most exclusive models need to have like BMW.

This does not look NK, nor does the G70 FL. And it’s good this way.

The interior design, though, is not there. The passenger screen ruins it all.
I disagree. The Vision 6, and Vision ICONIC, for example, look far more exotic, interesting, and superior as design studies in every possible way. Too bad MB uses the Maybach brand for tasteless, tacky garbage.

This, on the other hand, while way more down to earth, has absolutely nothing ground breaking. It’s pretty much a 7 FL reworked as a coupe. And there’s nothing wrong about that. I just don’t see it as a “masterclass” in any shape or form. It retains the “Chinese-esque” stacked headlights, which imo is a design exercise way beneath what should be in a BMW, let alone high end models, and the i3’s interior, which is absurdly garbage in so many ways that I won’t even waste time typing.

So yeah, it’s nice, but really not something that absurd. Maybe in light of recent BMWs designs, this does come as a more pleasant proposition.
 
Although it looks upscale in a futuristic manner, I really am getting worried about this trend of removing sophisticated materials such as wood and metal from the interior. At least ALPINA and high-end BMW models should keep a wide range of choices available and not embrace the eco-awareness policy. Applying artificial or real leather as veneer instead of wood and metal doesn't look very luxurious in my opinion. Leather upholstery should only cover seats, door panels and only some parts of the dashboard (for the sake of design continuity).
 
A completely new interpretation of the kidneys and rear end, a total success in my opinion, even more modern and elevated, it's astonishing how much freshness they bring and how they relaunch "untouchable" elements and improve them each time

Beautiful. Vintage BMW modernized.

This has to be a precursor to a future model.

A true 7 series derived coupe.

Looks 90% production ready. They could have gone full conceptual design with the interior ( now ALPINA is owned by BMW, funding wouldn’t be a problem) but they have stayed within the 7er paradigms for a reason…

Hmm…
