The only bad news: The BMW Vision is more vision than production-ready concept car. What you'd most likely see on sale would be the key components such as the drivetrain and battery technology transplanted to a more mainstream body.

Then, no thank you... With the exception of the new 650i, the new beemers are ugly turds with wheels... I keep my 3 old e28s and the e30, they are built so much better...

Looks become secondary when you drive the 1-series. Admittedly, not my favorite BMW design, but power/performance is outstanding.

BMW’s biggest problem is still the HPFP on twin turbos. It’s inexcusable that they allow that problem to go on and on without a fix.

I stopped with the e38 2001 750il, added it to my stable along side my two e23s. The e38 screams BMW even from affar

The E65/E66 looks like a Lexus.

I will say that I find the new five nice though and the F02 760il is growing on me...
