Being a BMW fan I can digest everything but can’t digest the fact that a car that costs around 90L OTR doesn’t have rear window blinds !! Not even manual ones ?? What did designers smoke ?? That’s a very useful and much required feature which even a 20lakh car should have.

If i recall correctly the older model has that, in the luxury line atleast

@rakmanbaba Месяц назад

From a BMW nut: I hope the Indian conumers start seeing through the ever shrinking model line up from the BMW, India. The lineup isn't just smaller but it is also being stripped of power (X1 18d!) comfort features ( Li vs GT). Yet the country seems to be obsessed about owning this badge, making the manufacturer get away with offering less for more with every iteration.

@souravchoudhary1175 Месяц назад

Wheels ain't big issue for people. They can easily change the rims in some shop. The fact, the 5 series lost its uniqueness....It was raw, a pure driving pleasure and not luxury centric + so many technology. Nuh uh, it looks good in the 7 series and Mercedes bcoz they're meant for that. BMW is meant for the raw feel, adequate enough luxury and most importantly performance!

@nikhilghag6087 Месяц назад

The body shape at rear reminds you of cars of cheaper segment like Toyota Camrys / Corolla sedans of 2010s. That probably will kill the intention to spend for this one. But this current state of BMW is a good reminder of how companys shot their own feet in long terms by looking at short term gains from Chinese market. People want to spend money on BMW for the driving pleasure, but if that selfie camera becomes the representation of BMW luxury than temptation to drive.. the cheaper cars from china with inferior engineering but big screens and cameras become better value for money. Get back to what you are good at, BMW!

The true negative review of a car is only revealed when the new version or a facelift is launched… Right now people will be ‘forced’ to like this disproportionate car but later when the new version will arrive, the same channel or others would freely criticise this one as this truly looks ugly..
