Some of the disguise at the front had been removed. You can see the diagonal light bars as well as the wide kidney grille.

I think it looks really good, much better proportions than the EV.

This looks really good. The front end has a 3D effect which I did not found in the latest renders.

I still can't understand why the hood and the car in general look so high.

 

[martinbo]

Both G50 and NA1's proportions are born out of necessity. G50 is the traditional longitudinal RWD powertrain with all the proportion benefits this has brought over the generations, while NA1 with electric motors and skateboard architecture looks the way it does because it needs to. Cab-backward and EV just isn't a thing...

It won't seem that way when you grow up.

 

[leylandi]

The G50 does not have an electric platform. In this respect, it is completely different from the NA1.

I guess they want a somewhat consistent visual stance between the two.

I guess they want a somewhat consistent visual stance between the two.

If they wanted them to look the same, there would be no point in using different platforms. They could use the same platform as the current i5/i7, and it would still look disproportionate.

Yes, we all know this. It has all the proportion hallmarks of the G20.

 

[Uygar]

I mean are we even looking at the same vehicle? It looks really nice for a 3er, and it’s pretty much a deeply facelifted G20. What’s there to criticize?

 

[leylandi]

Overall, the torso is elevated. The G20 is more athletic. The lighting units being positioned so low below the hood line makes the vehicle look bulky.

 

[Uygar]

I get your point but we have to wait for the official pictures to further comment on the design imo. Camouflaged cars tend to mislead.

I have just heard that the unveiling will take place on Wednesday 18 March, can anyone confirm?

So my source was right: the unveiling will indeed take place on 18 March.

I hope it will be visually successful.
Personally, I'm more interested in the ICE version.
But we'll have to wait a while longer to see it.

The grille is back

The grille is back

If that is somehow visible while everything is turned off, we have a winner.

We're now close enough to launch of the i3 that, for clarity, it would be a good idea to keep the G50 and NA0 posts in their respective threads
