BMW News: BMW iX - New Era, New EV Flagship
Not whining. Wishing to return to topic. Comply dammit. The car is weird. The aesthetic is not SERIOUS, like most BMWs, it is trying to be WHIMSICAL, and FAILING MISERABLY. We had an i3 in our shop recently... a shopping cart rolled into the liftgate... and being GLASS, it SHATTERED into a MILLION PIECES, allowing the TAILLIGHTS to DANGLE FROM THEIR WIRES (being loosely attached behind the tempered glass surface of the gate). The floor on the car is so high relative to the rocker panels, it is claustrophobic. Calling the BMW dealer for parts, it became clear they were glad to witness its extinction. Counting on one hand the number of ppl who even knew it existed in the first place.

Notice pronunciation of "Subaru" in these adverts. From now on, I am going to say it like this.

Exactly. Folded cardboard. COMPLETELY amateur greenhouse, like a 3rd grade sketch. Just... alien and offputting to the max. And don't get me started on the EV aspect. BMW used to be about visceral driving excitement. These days there is only a vestige of that past, manifested in just a paltry few configurations. EV is absotively, posolutely the direct opposite of what BMW was. A whirring, completely unengaging, boring as hell way to get around.

Isn't that the Escala? It's labeled as the Celesteek or whatev. And you are spot-on about the Blackwing.- BMW News: BMW iX - New Era, New EV Flagship

That is a pretty car, shame about it though. That's IT, I'm changing my time-honoured (pretentious spelling for trinacriabob) screen name to ocnred. Gotta stay away from any chance of being misconstrued. As far as fleeing the country, you have me confoozed with Whoopi Goldberg and Drew Dowdell, both of which were SO verklempt (Yiddish for trinacriabob) in 2016 that they vowed to leave the USA. We see how that worked out, BTW.- BMW News: BMW iX - New Era, New EV Flagship

Is it OK if I borrow the concept? It's the looney left that invented it.- Random Thoughts Thread
See now, I had an inkling you might be inbred. The symptoms are there, but I could not put my finger on it. Thanks for the confirmation. - BMW News: BMW iX - New Era, New EV Flagship
