Official Thread BMW Vision Neue Klasse

[Titot]

A lot of the reports have edited and cropped just to show the text.

What about the G50? Is there any kind of leak?

 

[SCOTT27]

The next Neue-Klasse series model will be the iX4.
But we have yet to see the i3 Touring which will probably happen in the Summer.

There is a rendering which shows an i3 Touring. Still nothing on a regular G51 Touring which would be a missed opportunity. Long term if you think of the customer traffic that was drawn to the M3 Touring.

Interesting this render carries a similar design for an aerodynamic wheel cover using latest iterations of the BMW kidney grille which will probably be offered with the i3.

Apparently revealed on 18 March

Almost Real.

Almost Real.

In less than a year we've gone from the usual static renders to these AI-supported hyper-realistic moving ones, although they're interesting every now and then, they're still inaccurate, for some reason I don't see that as an advantage, they've started to become abundant and overload the space, taking away the intrigue of the wait and generating comments as if we were seeing the REAL final result.

Agreed, most smoothbrains on social media can’t distinguish real from fake even when explicitly saying it’s a render.

Can’t help but wonder why BMW keeps hiding the Hofmeister kink area more than anything else. It’s been under camouflage for so long that at this point it’s either going to be brilliant… or ugly as sin. Given BMW’s last 15 years of uninspired design, I’m betting on the latter—but the young BMW fan in me still hopes they finally correct course & make something beautiful, classic, & unique to the brand.

...although sugar-design's work remains quite impressive. It is so far more than text-prompt generated AI slop. That stuff that I occasionally indulge in, simply to visualize what I personally imagine and annoy folks.

Must say...I like it.

Love it. They’re not getting rid of the kidneys, thank god.

Oooo - I think that's going to work.

Seems like those previous renders got the lower front bumper correct.

Matches the iX3 with iconic light detail surrounding the grille but interpreted differently.

 

[Der Hofmeister]

That’s sort of a compromise, as without it, that fascia would not look very BMW, to be honest. Digestible. But, those LED DRLs are nearly (if not entirely) identical to the iX3. I really feel this Neue Klasse design will not last very long in time. I see it as an intermezzo to the next styling philosophy from 2030 onwards.

 

[Uygar]

BMW doesn’t really hold on to the same design language for a long period of time, at least that’s the case with recent models. So I’m pretty sure there will be a new design philosophy for the next generation models, or it will be an evolution of the Neue Klasse. Too early to comment.

 

[Jacke]

Looks sick. The front fascia gives it that aggressive look, kind of like the BMW i8. Really beautiful front.

I believe that there will be no physical grills but instead the light graphics will draw the grills outline!!,but anyhow it really kooks nice
