Huh, the long (in proportion) hood vs the short trunk makes the silhouette of the car look very weird to me and disproportionate to me

My question: how much larger is this thing going to get? It's become a boat the past two generations. At what point does BMW decide a 5er should be a 5er and not a 7er?

Very curious to see how the 550e turns out. An electrified inline-6 could be very fun, hopefully this time around they'll have the chassis live up to the powertrain.

There's always a chance one could get cancelled but they all do exist in the current development lineup. |

Suspect here in the U.K. and the EU the emphasis will be on electric in the ( no pun intended) current climate.
As I've brought in these forums before, with mandatory speed limiters supposedly coming here from next year, this feature will be built in from the get go. Lookes like the current g30 with a nip and a tick. +1 hope it doesn't get any bigger, manufacturers need to get out of that trend. |

Looks like it can't make up its mind whether it's a sedan or hatchback… they better figure it out.
Overall the shape doesn't look very expressive. I hope the camo is hiding a LOT of detailing. It's not hard to look better than a Tesla, but not impossible to look worse… |

Are they hiding a battery in the floor? Why are the rocker panels so thick and the doors so tall beyond that?

Lol, first reactions to any new BMW model - even the initial test mules = NEGATIVE!!! Even if the article is about specs and info.
It's getting so old. |

As a current 2016 550 xdrive owner, I notice the lack of a V8 option, so far. I wonder if the M5 will be a a 6 or a V8. Personally I’m at fan of BMW V8s. The sound alone sold me on my 1st one. Currently have 2 V8 BMWs.

Lol just waiting for the day someone says something like "that black and white swirly paint job looks terrible". It's a prototype. It doesn't look like the final product. Get a grip people.

I'm currently (not so) patiently awaiting the manufacture and delivery of a new 2022 M550ix. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to pull the trigger, I'm really looking forward to what may be one of the last IC V-8s. Even V and I-sixes are vanishing from many brands and models.

![]() Here's what looks like an accurate render of the G60, based upon the spy shots. I sure hope BMW does something other than contour the headlights to the hood cutline. Also, I think the flush door handles work well on the new i4/4GC and new G42 2 Series--the latter of which is fairly linear and muscular at the sides--but they don't work here.

I think this will be the last generation of ICE cars. Governments are trying to force people down the EV route even if it doesn't suit everyone. Not enough infrastructure which both needs to keep up with the increase in EVs being sold but improve as it's not sufficient now
Only today people with Diesel cars older than about 2015 will only be able to drive in London if they pay £12 per day. So I think at least here in Europe producing a IcE car is going to become more problematic politically. I'm hanging on my g30 for now , with speed limiters coming in next year , the incentive to get a new car is dwindling rapidly. All the fun of having a car is being chipped away . Sorry to sound very negative |
