Clear heels.

Thunderguts · 03-04-2020, 01:47 PM

I guess they might as well. The BMWs of today bear little resemblance to the BMWs I idolized, save the M2C. I'll gladly hold on to my 1 series and my Roundel as long as it's possible.

N54Yankee · 03-04-2020, 02:58 PM

I voted and it was a no I don’t like it

Elderado82 · 03-04-2020, 03:16 PM

Considering its on a concept I'm hoping it's just art.

Dekdo · 03-04-2020, 03:34 PM

Is it glass? If it’s plastic it’s likely going to yellow over time..

JimVonBaden · 03-04-2020, 05:01 PM

Isn't that the logo for the electric and hybrid cars?

..Rush.. · 03-04-2020, 05:08 PM

There's another thread floating around tracking this as well.

This is a possibility because not all design ideas on a concept car make it to the final production car, as we all know.

I already saw it used at the end of a commercial today, but it was all white.

bmw1racer · 03-04-2020, 10:28 PM

Like the upcoming i4 and M3/M4, the new roundel looks ass.

duder13 · 03-05-2020, 03:09 PM

It’s official: https://www.bmw.com/en/automotive-li...-history1.html

This is the stuff that keeps me up at night, and gives me nightmares. I don't care who has a bigger button, or if I should be concerned about a cough. That is a trivial compared to this

How can somebody take something so sacred and bangle, I mean bungle it. Tonight may be a Xanax night. Just the thought of it gives me the chills and a fever. How could they do this? I am heartbroken, and falling into a deep depression not unlike the funk I went into when they stopped production of the Aztec. Fortunately, it wasn't long after that BMW brought out their version of the Aztec and I felt all was good in the world.

Ford is bringing back the Bronco, GM is bringing Hummer back. If we are lucky GM will bring back the Aztek because I cannot think of a better match for that badge than on the grill of an Aztek.

Apparently nothing is sacred at BMW anymore.

BMW Won't Actually Use Its New Logo on Its Cars

Have you seen BMW's new logo design? [Update: will not be used on vehicles]

Feel pretty much the same.

I guess why not make an unattractive logo to go along with ugly (to me) cars.

It's essentially the 1963 logo, less a couple of concentric circles.
