That just would make the car longer and bigger for no reason. Giving an EV car ICE proportions is dumb IMO. The classic BMW proportions came out of necessity, long I6 and RWD, form followed function.

It wouldn’t make it any longer. Just pushed the A-pillar backwards.

You can see the difference clearly

Tiny detail makes a huge difference.
This is the same thing that makes the EQ cars look so awkward. The cab-forward greenhouse for aero purposes.

I would assume moving the windshield back like that would mean the drivers seat would also have to be moved back by that amount resulting in a longer car.

You can make cab forward look great.

The Model S and Lucid Air are both cab forward and look better than most other modern sedans IMO. Giving either of those cars an artificially long hood would have been dumb.

Yes, but neither of those cars are styled the way this is. I'm not saying it's impossible to make cab forward look good, just that it's hard without it looking rather homogenous. The Lucid Air looks very similar to the Model S. And neither of them are "stunningly good looking". They just look decent.

I wouldn't even say the Tesla Model S is very cab forward.

New 3er with Neue Klasse design elements. Now that looks amazing. It shows how important the proportions are.

I'm seeing too much 5 series in the greenhouse, and that's putting me off.

It's funny, I thought it was a 5er LCI lol

is this the same car as yesterday

No this is the 3er. That was the i3. Both 3er and i3 will have similar design elements. Think the new MINI Electric and the MINI ICE.

Funny...

 

[McLaren64TR]

Yes, that's the 3 Series. The nose is longer and the proportions look much better.

Looks very promising, I must say.

While I prefer the Mini Electric design now over the ICE, it’s the opposite with NA0/G50. I just dig the long hood of the ICE but curious how the final products will compare.

Design transition-translation of the front fascia.
VISION Neue Klasse.

NA0.

G50.

At least based on what I can recognize here, I am SERIOUSLY liking this. It recalls some glorious compact BMWs of yore and, for me, exemplifies what a BMW should be.
