Thanks, H.


Another aspect came out recently :

Adrian van Hooydonk confirmed in latest interviews BMW moving back to shark-nose design (engineers has finally resolved the issue how to make shark nose complying to EU pedestrian law), and to more driver oriented dash / central console design.

It looks like BMW will play with all design aces they have in the next generation of cars: mixing past with the future. Kind a going avant-garde retro. Evolutionary revolution. New organic.

Cars with angry shark nose, wide horizontally stretched kidneys, angry looking quad headlights (with a help of angel eyes) with eyebrows, L-shaped rear lights, Hofmeister's kink, flame surfacing, typical BMW proportions, Bangle butt ver 2.0, typical BMW dual dials, driver oriented central console. All past + present design cues = future BMW design.

I guess BMW have found what they were looking fore: avant-garde modern & exciting look, still bit controversial - yet with all the traditional BMW design cues (some of them are missing on current models: eg. driver oriented cockpit & shark nose). And with much more attention to details ever seen on a BMW vehicles. And with more organic softer yet dynamic lines (especially in the cabin).

IMO the next generation of BMWs will be phenomenal: incorporating all the best from the past & present. Not so original, but more "back to the roots" - and IMO that will be very appreciated by BMW customers: the current ones who like avant-garde design, and again also the ones who love past BMW designs. A perfect mix. And with much more refined overall design - with attention to details & sophistication - something current BMWs not always posses. A field where Audi dominates in. BMW finally getting what is now missed.

Really, imagine: new BMWs with avant-garde exciting design, sharp & dynamic lines, new organic (softer), new modern (sharper) - yet with attention to details & sophistication of Audi.

Perfect.

So ... what's next? What kind of revolution are we getting in 2015?
