I mentioned several times, that is BULLSHIT!
And please look at X1, X3.... They don't supposed to be under the same pedestrian rule?
many cars do not have lines, yet they are safe. And beautiful.
Just lazy design. BMW is falling... |
Dude we are faced with the same issues when we are designing these things. Just because its a requirement for one car and not another doesn't mean we won't follow it. So no you can't say it's bullshit for certain.
Ignorant.
