"Unlike other BMW SUV's, this one is hideous"
Thanks Doug, I agree

"It brings the brand's design in a whole new direction." Off the cliff, apparently.

I’ve gone from loving BMW’s, to not really wanting a new BMW, to actively disliking them 😞 we appreciate the vid as always Doug 🙏

The E46’s truly captured the “Ultimate Driving Machine” title. They drove like they were on rails. The steering was heavy, the engines were silky smooth, they felt special. I had a 2002 325ci, it wasn’t the fastest, it had a UUC short shifter, M3 steering wheel, and air intake. That was all it needed. I drove it until 160k miles and then sold it as I had a company car and didn’t need it. I still miss that car.

I'm a big tech guy and I love touch screens, but at a certain point you want physical buttons for your most used commands in your vehicle, just from a safety and ergonomic standpoint. The people who can afford this vehicle are going to be older and perhaps less tech savvy. It just seems like an odd choice considering big luxury vehicles usually cater to an older crowd.

Thanks BMW, I was always curious what an Aztek EV might look like.

Being a BMW fan for as long as I can remember, I don't mind the design of the rear, and the interior is quite handsome, but the side profile and front design are some of the worst that BMW have ever designed.

As an Australian, all I can think off when I see those exterior door handles is a nice shady spot for a huntsman to chill out. 😅

“I want an electric BMW but I want it to look like a Buick Enclave”
Designer: “Say no more”

[sshhuumm]

I feel like what really bugs me about the new BMW design language is how flashy and in your face they are. Lots of other automakers are going this direction too but BMW used to be sporty and classy. There was an elegance to their designs. Now they just feel insecure and like they have to scream at you about what they are. It's especially strange for the new M3/M4 which seems to be a pretty confident drivers car but the design speaks otherwise.

[mercedesc]

it would be nice if doug got into the charging aspects of this car, definitely a quirk that is missed.

[brianh]

Overall I like it. Range and performance are good, interior is very competitive, and I’m starting to warm up to the exterior styling, it looks better in person for sure.

[oldben]

Lots of quirks on this one...I do highly respect the creativity on the interior, they really out did themselves...not sure how well it will stand the test of time but it is very cool

[homerfeltheim]

I find it kinda funny BMW went so far to hide the rear camera and especially the washer sprayer yet said “meh” when integrating the rear wiper

[fbr]

I think BMW did a good job giving blind designers a chance :)

Is it just me, or is Doug reviewing this car in 2x speed 😀

[StockTalks]

Can’t imagine driving this car on a sunny day and every crystal just shining right into my eyes 🤩

[yebo]

You have to admire BMW, managing to so effectively replicate the "I'm a dickhead" signalling from the X5 driver to it's electric equivalent.

[nucelom]

kinda odd to say but i can't express how much i wouldn't want any of the new BMWs

[MrMBinder]

I _almost_ feel bad for the BMW fans who will have to find reasons to defend the design choices that went into this atrocity.

BMW really dropped the ball on this, but I do like the wood/crystal control panel in the center.

[danielsolstrand]

You kidding me? The design here is superb. Take a look at this car IRL. It is stunning. It is large. It is the future - and it looks like it. After looking at this car, almost any other car feels outdated.
