Concepts are concepts, at this stage though the XM is likely to proceed to production, the Maybach is not likely to be anywhere near a Mercedes dealer

We also don't know how much of the XM concept would make into production.
The i4 production looks quite different from i4 concept. Even if the Project Maybach may not make into production, they usually use concept cars to "preview" future design directions. |

The i4 looks very similar to the i4 Concept, maybe not the original iVisionDynamics, but the i4 is very clearly a derivative of the i4 Concept with the usual production aspects (head and taillights) being changed. BMW has already said this XM concept represents 90% of its intended production vehicle. The Maybach concept has very little influence on the entirety of MB and is clearly more a cool one-off design, while the XM's design aspects will influence more models (new 7er, X7 LCI, etc).

Principal photography took place in Shumen in September. Exterior wise? You are looking at around 90% production. The face of the XM is the new look of the GKL-Klasse of BMW models to be prominent on the X7 LCI and The new 7.

For whatever reason I don't hate this as much now. I think we are all conditioned to ugly BMW designs now by disasters like the iX and 4-series. As a result this isn't as bad.
The XM is a bit of a hodgepodge of some really interesting design elements. I don't think it works cohesively the way say the handsome X5 does, but it does look bold and makes a statement.

BTW my teenage son drives a stickshift E46, his pick. Just because BMW puts it out there, doesn't mean young people will automatically like it. Will future buyers be conditioned to like this design? Who knows. You absolutely can make bold design work and not be awkward.

This is indeed extremely relevant for the design… Can I propose that for the next film to pick a suggestive and related location like Almhult, Ikea’s headquarter? |

BMW boss Frank van Meel disclosed that "Rockstar" was the internal project name for the BMW XM.
IMHO the "Rockstar" moniker better befits the Jeff Koons BMW M3 GT2 dropped on Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) in Norway back in 2010. Legit Rockstar:

No personal offense, but you are out of your fucking mind with this take.
