Very intresting concept.
I wonder if BMW have the balls to put it out there, as is. Like they did with i8, or do as they usually do, and release a kick ass concept, and chicken out on the production model. But it is a Evoque contender, it has the design and is bold enough. The only mistake is the kindeys, upside down, wtf? The interiour are probably on par with the F48, pretty bland. It is a good start thought, kudos to Habib and the design team.

Inspired by Asian design. Excessive visual gimmicks. Recommend go back and redesign it as a proper BMW.

I just hope the production vehicle looks same as this concept Our recent experience BMW will chicken out and not do it Also, hope the interior is much better than the ugly X1 interior
Though I like it, there is no denial of the kia influence on this design |

Design wise, as a concept car, the detailing is very exagerated and I'm sure that the production version is going to be toned down without these giant air intakes and will look more elegant if less macho. I suspect that the upside-down kidneys are here to stay which is a major departure from what is still a very conservative design BMW language (since the departure of Chris Bangle of course!). what I like best is the return of the BMW rounded on the C pillar Ã* la E9! I'm a little bit afraid when I look at the overall shape of this concept, that the production version will be very similar to a Land Rover Evoque, and won't have an own BMW shape... But all in all, not bad!

I like the headlights. The rest belongs in the rubbish bin. Looks like an Asian car, not like a BMW at all. The hatch is comical, unless you're 8 feet tall, the 2-tone waaay overdone, and the doorhandles/mirrors/grill/roundels/facia are cartoon-like and make it all too ridiculous. The wheels are nasty as well, not in a good way.
Looks like a modern redeux of the Isuzu Crossover. |

Some aspects look pretty great. I know they're taking on the Evoque with this model, but did they really have to straight up copy the wheels? Especially on the debut. SMH.
