When I saw this meme all I could think in my head was “this is accurate.” I really didn’t expect BMW to go through with the massive grille on the 4 series but here we are. But I guess I probably shouldn’t have been too surprised when we the massive kidney beans on the X7. Either way, I hope that they see it as a flaw and scale it back for the next generation. I don’t know if they felt the need to change it because they have had the same size for so long or what. But as strange as it sounds, I do think that some version of that 2025 8 series could have potential. Almost Fisker Karma-esque for a super high-performance racecar that’s barely street legal. What do you think?

I had this pulled up before I even read the post, glad I’m not the only one who got a Fisker connection.

Sometimes I feel like we live in some kind of bizarre comic strip where showing off wealth and getting attention work just like the peacock’s assfeathers. Calling it out does nothing, and I can’t even claim to be any different with my particular feathers* (that most inhabitants of the biotope don’t recognize but the few who do are the coolest, of course). How did the kidneys even become a thing and why are we as humans so simple, we need a variation of the same design for decade after decade to recognize this as a particularly attractive assfeather? And why do all the hashtags in the post above get me even more riled up, carsofinsta, rlly?
*feathers, glorious:
Calling stuff out only works on people who have the self awareness that’s lacking in the first place.
Attentions spans have been whittled down to the barest essentials. Instant access to everyone in the modern world and all the information ever compiled by humanity and (if it’s not jumping straight to the dopamine hit) the majority of content runs straight for showing off wealth and beauty, such as it is. It’s like we’re just animals or something.
All that said, c’mon BMW first Bangle now this?

2020 seems like an Hieronymus Bosch illustration of a Tom Wolfe novel.
Wow, the Equus is both strongly water repellent AND banishes darkness? That’ll come in handy up in the cold dark wet north!
I am sure this is a truth-in-advertisement-or-get-your-money-back-situation. 😛
Stuff like this strengthens my claim that the last good stylist at BMW was David Robb (head of motorcycle styling 1993-2012)
It uses Red Bull for blinker fluid.
That ‘2025’ version looks like Toyota and BMW doing another joint venture to accompany the Z4/Supra, only available at Toyota dealerships today.
