@RazorToshiba @agsonworms @AlexEdgerton Mostly wrong. When you are only trying to minimize drag you end up with an ugly or boring design. If you are trying to create other aerodynamic effects that’s when beauty comes into play.

Dear automakers: please stop making EVs look weird for the sake of it.
Alex Edgerton@AlexEdgerton
The best thing about this car is that VW didn’t go out of their way to make it look weird, just because it’s an EV. It looks normal. It’s recognizable, and follows their brand identity. Props to VW. Other OEMs please take note. Just because it’s electric, doesn’t mean you should throw away the rulebook on style. You’ve worked hard for decades to establish a design language your fans identify with. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot with square wheels and wonky body lines, simply because there’s no exhaust pipe.

@Droidhunter21 @arcadeuk @niccruzpatane I wish every car manufacturer would stop strictly obeying ever tightening emission standards. Everyone should just break them.
English
@arcadeuk @niccruzpatane thats also fair lol, i should have been more specific in my original reply to you. i do wish we had tdi’s still in america but dieselgate ruined that :/

I was driving behind an Audi SQ5 yesterday and couldn’t help but notice how Audi put fake plastic exhaust tips on the rear bumper. 😂
Crazy lol

@taurisjoe @iamSauceGardner Utter dog shit the way cars are made today and sold to public. They are made to hold up for about 5 years if that brand new then made for the owner to start dumping money in the piece of shit to keep it on the rode

my Escalade V locked up while i was driving. they said it needs a new engine. it is a 2026 with 2k miles on it... how is this even possible?

@OpinionGuyCA @mil000 The only thing that sucks about coupes as a tall person is the extra door length but getting in and out in tight spaces is great regular stretching.
English
@OpinionGuyCA @mil000 You aren’t saving your knees and back you are just not using them and they are going to get weak and inflexible. I’m 6’6 and fit into the front seats of every German car I’ve sat in but the z4.

why do grown men flex suvs that are fake performance cars, just buy a sedan / coupe or don’t. don’t have this crappy middle ground

@Schmidt35698561 @TuiteroSismico Todo imbecil, dice auto de producción, y también dice hipercar. Aunque lo de producción estaría por verse, pero ese auto que mencionas no es de producción ni es un hipercar, aprende a leer.

@snuka23581 @Dr_Afo @KE_MrBlack You had to get to the top of the hill you are going down though which took more power than driving on flat ground. The gains from rolling down the hill at a fixed speed won’t be greater than the losses of driving uphill at the same speed.
English
@Dr_Afo @KE_MrBlack Well, it can be applicable if the car is moving down hill which will remove the need of applying breaks

@PoebelVox @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl Only thing I constantly hate is auto start stop and temperature controls being on the screen. When my warranty is up the start stop is being tuned out.
English
@PoebelVox @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl I agree lol. They definitely went overboard. Nice thing is once you get everything set up how you like you never have to mess with it again. Haven’t really touched my screen since the first week I got my car.
English
The reason BMW and Mercedes design language has gone from understated class to this cartoonishly gaudy look is because China is one of their biggest markets.
It's spiritually 3rd world.
It's African dictator tier.

New look, more range: the BMW 7 Series has just received a MAJOR update 👀 buff.ly/JMTQYzV What do we think of the new look? 🤔

That is the problem with these Tesla echo chambers….they can see NO FAULT in Tesla products or drivers….. interpret it as you will….. CT driver got sour and decided to “retake” his front position…. Shitty that this ended up happening…..but as I mentioned before…. Sometimes the best action is NO reaction…..

@proxy63s Any job if you don’t want one brand new. Depreciate like a brick.

@PoebelVox @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl Not a phone app it’s on the center screen. I just called it an app because the way the center screen works now instead of buried in the old settings menu.
I agree about needing a phone app. On a lot of the new bmws you get one key and need to use your phone for extras.
English
@Goonwood_FOS @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl 1) It’s a rental. I don’t want an app. I just want the car to work.
2) it’s a car. Why would I ever need a phone app to make basic functionality available?
3) it’s a car. Why would I ever need an app, period?
English
@PoebelVox @Txp_RBI_Xctuxl Horrible from default however…
1. You can change the tach to show rpm on the steering wheel. (Idk why that isn’t default)
2. You can change the lighting color and brightness from the apps page.
English
@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl When I rent from Sixt I end up with a BMW & am reminded to not buy one. Gaudy orange plastic lighting, giant plastic screen that randomly flashes an idiotic front camera view, a diamond shaped dash with “power” not a tach & I still can’t find an odometer much less trip odo. Trash

@momodu75 @lena_kiera_ I don’t think anyone will deny bmw is still making great cars (Mercedes not as much) but the problem is design. I would love to drive a new 7 series. However I would never pay 7 series prices for a car that isn’t designed well. It would be one thing if it was cheap but it’s not.

@freakimus @AvgNickk 10 year old 2 door sports car mostly owned by older men and collectors vs a brand new van in high demand that’s still in production mostly driven by npcs who don’t know where their wheels are.

@CosmoCramer2 @LUDENClassics Funny thing is where I live the suspension and ride height would be more useful in the city

@aKellyBrand I honestly think it is a niche they should just avoid

They could bimmer it up a lil bit but I also don't trust BMW design at all so you're right 😂

@aKellyBrand I hate the concept but the grenadier would also not be a good bmw design.
