    Maybe an unpopular opinion:
    Some designs are better left untouched, because you only can ruin them.
    This car is one example - perfect as it is. A classic.

    Is the front bumper supposed to be asymmetrical? Following what you did on the right, that vent should be invisible from that perspective as it's wrapped around the side and deep into the fender.

    man i love those classic modernized box shaped cars, and i love the way you redesign them, you put some work on them, they feel like they didn't change much Yet again they look much more modernized, new and 1000 times better than what we see now in rl, you really outdone yourself.
    this is so amazing!!!

  • @javimad
    @javimad 3 роки тому +1

    You got it nearly perfect except for two things:
    - hood line: it should be just at the top part of the kidneys and headlights, not in the middle of nowhere (this is a main design issue of lot of recent BMW cars)
    - horizontal slats inside the kidneys instead of vertical lines. Audi has horizontal bars and BMW vertical bars.

    Great job on one of my favorite BMWs again. I would've kept the kidneys' grill vertical though, because the E31's front face is large enough and doesn't need, in my opinion, more horizontal lines. Keep up the amazing work!

    The *E31 8-series* is the One & Only 8-SERIES!

    I love the long flat design of the original 8. This design looks like a propper modernisation. Its so clean, it looks like it could be an electic car to compete with the porche taycan it it where a 4 door version! Pop-up headlights were originally created to meet the required minimum height for headlights, so sadly this one wouldn't be legal as is. I think they have to be at a minimum 60cm from the ground.
