Saw the color change version at CES and it looks much better in person than in photos. It definitely grows on you and glad to see it doesn’t have a giant grill like the i7
Generally, it’s nice to see BMW taking inspiration from their previous designs. Not so sure about the glass belt line and the rear lights, but it’s more playful. I do wish that BMW would go back to less of a ‘games console, look for their displays. I loved the old font with orange glow. Maybe they could bring that back with a modern twist. Loving the return of the shark face (E28), maybe borrow the rear lights from that? BMW are killing it with engineering, build and design. I just brought a new 1 series and it’s a pretty amazing

Loving the vintage style. A small touring would be ace. One thing i would love to see coming back: 4 even sized round headlamps and the kidney smaller. Bringing back the design of E32,E34,E36 and E38 would make them billions.
@@unowen-nh9ov Not wrong. The design of the front texture has nothing to do with body type. Everyone is making money with retro designs. Look at ford bronco etc.
@@modellbahn9447What about BMW design makes you think they want to be retro or look like anyone else? BMW have been expanding for 60 years by going into neu segments, here they start over again with elektrik.
No they would not, for the simple fact that the classic models can't be surpassed by the newer designs. So far by every new model based on a previous model. it has never the same "wow" factor than the orginal model.
Very clean exterior design! Interior, however, I definitely feel it is too much "concepty" and open. I love the enclosed feeling of a BMW interior (I also drive a BMW E30 and even though the visibility from the inside is astonishing, there is still an enclosed and cacoon-like feeling when sitting behind the steering wheel). I get that they are trying to make the interior more "inclusive" but I still don't like the feeling of being in the living room when driving a car! Perhaps, the interiors will now be one of the main differentiating factors (between the models), influencing purchasing decisions. Also, the physical buttons should remain (doors, windows...). That's my 2 cents :)
This "open design" is a big mistake! I want to drive a sporty car not a greenhouse...... I hate glass roof, and I don't like the low door/ tall window shown here.
That really is a thing of beauty, stunning. Let's hope BMW actually make it without compromising the design too much. Loving the angular lines on it, a sharp contrast to the Mercedes with it curves. Mercedes are playing it safe, BMW are playing it bold. Would love to see corduroy back in BMW. Not sure about the lack of buttons and knobs. Everything being on the tablet is something I don't like about Tesla's interiors
BMW is finally returning back to form. I want one. The angular styling is fantastic. Bring back the corduroy and this color scheme is also great. The detailing, like the BMW logo is also spot on. I like the bumpers too, the rear one acts as a diffusor, I think. Also the rear light seem to be designed like a gurney flap. This is so much better than the Mercedes concept, which I think is hideous.
Physical buttons add unnecessary weight, complications, proprietary SKUs, etc to the car. Touch screens are leaps and bounds better then they used to be so all the disadvantages of not having a physical button are non existent. Many modern cars with touch screens have voice activation which further reduces the need for physical buttons.
I am kind of liking this. I see how the bumpers are a retro throwback to the black bumpers in 70's and 80's. I do love the overall silhouette. And I love the corduroy so YES, please BMW!! I live where it is warmer more than it is cool and leatherette/leather seats don't feel so great here even when ventilated.
i live in the inner city and love black bumpers for their ability to withstand scrapes. . there's a reason that ford and renault vans never switched to body colouring. now, there's only the detail that they are too low at the front and low profile wheels make a really expensive noise when you park
I would love to see the corduroy, but not in that yellow color. Something else could be great though and unique. Absolutely love the heads up display and instruments.
5:17 top of the dash HAS to be black ..it always is. Anything lighter reflects strongly onto the windshield and bothers too much. Everything else can be anything you like..but then you don't get this light ambient feeling.
Exactly...and will they (BMW) be held accountable for such a statement? Nope, they'll spew shit like always, and you'll end up with maybe a headlight from the prototype surviving to the production version...
I don't believe it at all, those headlights, those seats, the screen, the door handles, the rear view mirrors etc do not look appropriate for production.
Thank you Thomas! Shout out to BMW for slimming the exterior’s front end and making it feel more retro. The new hud looks fantastic and I love the concept. You didn’t speak to the side view mirrors - they looked like small shafts which led me to believe they were actually cameras perhaps with the image displayed somewhere else? Beyond the new hud, the shape / curvature of the seats were very interesting. Last, round steering wheels are just so practical - maybe they could be an option.
Love the way it looks and the return to being able to see out. Even though it may be a call back to earlier BMW design it is actually more modern than the Mercedes which largely dresses up its current space inefficient slug like shape.
I presently drive a 5 year-old EV, but I'm not sure if I will replace it with another EV. The reason is that the car insurance renewal has gone up 52% in one year! The explanation being given by LV= is the increase costs of claims by EV car owners! I guess this will keep going up much higher than ICE and hybrid cars now that EVs are becoming mainstream and their repair and replacement cost premiums are factored in. No wonder so many EVs are simply written off (insurance wise) for minor damages.
well, teslas are as they have so much componentry in the front bumper and the way they integrate batteries with the chassis. I have yet to see equivalent data from the manufacturers -but expensive electronics is standard with modern ICE cars too
I love the idea of integrating the headlights with the kidney grill, finally gives it a real, visible purpose in the electric age. (They should do the same with sensors, cameras etc, if they haven't already).
Needs physical buttons to replace all touch capacitive. I enjoy a large screen but needs a few physical buttons for frequently used like heated seats, climate shortcut button etc. Overall LOVE the design, kinda wish the rear lights were one big strip as their current shape looks a little off but if stayed the same but just as one big light bar that would be perfect!
Please cordroy or sustainable materials like old plastic bottles recycled wool or even recycled cotton great car looks superb and very environmentally friendly and kind to the environment
I love what BMW is dreaming for. I hope will see such a car in real life. For sure will be on my short list, with one BIG amendment: physical buttons !!!! I think the mostly used functions should stay not far from you, and must be accessible by physical touches
I agree with the physical buttons. I love all things digital, but manufacturers appear to forget that cars primary function is driving and we should focus on driving more than we should focus on millions of screens and projections
So glad that BMW of all brands chooses to continue giving us proper sedans, the little design clues reminiscing classic BMW design is absolutely brilliant. Overall this car makes me feel good about the future of my favourite car brand, I have been a little afraid they’d go the Mercedes way and designing cars for efficiency before design and making them all look like computer mouses. Big thumbs from me and if the final version will give us a more classic inside/cockpit, I’ll be all over this. And as extra bonus I’d love to have CarPlay2 and more importantly Apple CarKey. Good job BMW, thank you.
The overall silhouette is very pretty, and clean looking. I’m happy it’s not another SUV variant. And it’s a welcome departure from the recent BMW horrors.
Great looking sedan, lots of classic BMW vibes!❤❤ I just hope the interior becomes more practical (round steering wheel, physical buttons, rectangle touchscreen). I appreciate the use of recycled materials and CO2 neutral factory.
I would love a future BMW that looked 99% like this concept. Retro Future Design is so so good. Please just give us the concept look no toning down the design!
Not a fan of glass over my head while i am driving especially when you cannot open it. Sunny days it gets hot even with UV glass and reflections bouncing around including reflection on the main touch screen do not give a good daytime experience. That said, If they include a full coverage electric shade on the roof glass then it could be ok. Also would really like it to vent open for air flow (Volvo XC40 Recharge or the new Porsche Macan are examples of good light and air control through roof glass design) but if it does not open it would not be a show stopper. I owned a Model Y and all glass is fun until its not. Otherwise, love the retro/futuristic design. Good job on the front grill...way better than the large "beaver teeth" look lol. Love the Steering wheel design and white color option and seats look cool (as long as they include 18 way with comfort in mind). My 2 cents for what it is worth ;) .
I’ve got a Honda Jazz 2nd generation. Interior materials are cheap but the design is fantastic. Cup holders in front of AC vents. Buttons in ergonomic positions. No daft screen with UI that already looks outdated. The magic seats and boot are possibly the best designed. Built to last, quite sustainable from that point. Can’t see any other modern replacement that matches that.
Happy to see the kidney grill back. Current owner of a 2022 5 series and this classy iteration of this new 3 series I will buy. Beautiful design classy and modern.
I was BMW guy at my birth. From 70's my late dad had only Beemers. I grew up with E28, E30, E34, etc. Last one was E39, 17 years till the end of the driver. I still have E36 318is coupe and Z3 in my garage but daily drivers are Hyundai Ionic EV and Mazda CX-5. Because Beemer is ugly. Elegance has gone. Last 20 years. But this gives me hope. If Neue Klasse will come this look, I'm back.
@5:20 it's a yes for me for the corduroy, but as long as it is of the highest quality.(you can sit on it with jeans without pulling a hole in it, no fading and easy to clean) then again, they're german, so I'm not too worried about quality
It’s a nice and well needed reset of BMWs design language. The concept car also looks kind of compact/lean, Curious to see what the production car will look like.
Love the larger windows and better ability to see outside. Brings humanity back versus boxed in SUV. And finally a grille that is nice. Hopefully they offer a touring version.
The silhouette, lighting and interior materials are so unique, and 100% to my liking. And that rear end is perfect! Also, I'd love for them to bring out the corduroy. :-D
Please don’t change anything. This should be the new 3 series as it is. It is simply amazing. I had a 3 series during 1999-2003 and it was a wonderful experience. Would love to go back to such a fantastic car with this new design. It is S I M P L Y B R I L L I A N T.
Former loyal customer who know sticks to older BMWs as I can’t take the dreadful SUVs and grilles, this car in estate flavor would get my money in a heartbeat. Well done. A proper driver car that’s not trying to be a crossover or SUV.
Not too sure about the colour of the yellow but absolutely love the swipe up from console to head ups Reminds me of Minority Report computer tech GREAT
Love this so much. The exterior design is flat-out perfect in my view -- all sorts of subtle nods to BMW's heritage but still extremely modern. With this, BMW has finally figured out how to integrate the kidney identity into a modern, grille-less look. Masterful. There's much I like about the interior as well, but like Thomas, I want real, clicky controls. The center-console screen also seems both over designed and excessively tablet-like, perhaps taking one of the worst cues from Tesla. Still, this overall is one of the most successful concept cars I have ever seen, and I can't wait to see what the shipping version looks like.
Beautiful concept. Maybe this car can be the next design icon from BMW like the i3 is. I just hope they remember to make the car able to fit a roof rack. This was not possible with the i3.
Having had the i3 for a year, I really like having the gear selector on the steering column and having some physical buttons and knobs - I can do things without ever taking my eyes off the road. Please BMW, some physical buttons!
the only thing BMW should do: bring back the e36 style, but make it a bit bigger and modern(similar to this NK E3), plus produce lots of M3 Kombi versions LoL
Love the exterior design. But the turn software features into multiple hardware devices features, I am not sure. After, what German software vendors bring to the market? SAP?
I really like the front and the stance of this car and the side. Change thee rear lights and give us an analog interior or old inspired one and you have a beautiful 3er BMW. The right direction of design with this one. But please at least the coloured logo

Love this design. I've left BMW because of the obsession with ugly grilles but I would buy this. Well done
Saw the color change version at CES and it looks much better in person than in photos. It definitely grows on you and glad to see it doesn’t have a giant grill like the i7
Well it does. It’s just stretched the other way
It doesnt have a giant grill, it is the giant grill
I for one love the vertical grilles (e.g. the 4 series). But love this as well. Stunning car.
@@TD1237I honestly don’t get all the hate. Sure it takes time to grow on you but to flat out call the design language “hideous” seems a bit extreme.
the one is CES is completely different tho

Love the new ideas for head up display. It’s so under utilized in most cars today. It’s a great way to simplify the dash.
Majority of modern cars have a decent head up display... it's only outdated brands that don't use them.
Agreed! Brilliant design. This is what "Big T" SHOULD have done with their 3.
Loving the vintage style. A small touring would be ace. One thing i would love to see coming back: 4 even sized round headlamps and the kidney smaller. Bringing back the design of E32,E34,E36 and E38 would make them billions.

Total non-issue.
for YOU@@deepfreeze1001
Agreed, fiddling thru many layers of a menu is a pain, especially for things we use regularly.
21st century, dud, interactive HUD. Miss your hand crank? Tmi.

I don't believe it at all, those headlights, those seats, the screen, the door handles, the rear view mirrors etc do not look appropriate for production.
I bet in classic BMW they will do a 180 and production will look exactly like ICE except for the front kidney grill in LED lights😊

Yes, new HUD is great but not the Tesla like giant iPad in the middle. May as well keep the old curved screen, instead :)
People hate on this design, I actually like it.
You are just wrong 😂
Stunning design! Great video!!
Love the way it looks and the return to being able to see out. Even though it may be a call back to earlier BMW design it is actually more modern than the Mercedes which largely dresses up its current space inefficient slug like shape.
Love the exterior lines. Interior fabrics yes please.
Much better design than the recent monstrousities they've been producing with the beaver grill. Interesting ideas!
the IX grille is as obsolete as rocket fins
Yes: cord / cloth seats. In a 5er as well. Much more pleasant than leather.

I love this. Best looking design out of BMW for some time. Plus I really want that yellow cord interior
I hardly ever comment on a UA-cam video but just incase BMW see this I love the look and proportions of the car. 👍🏽

Visionary.
Its a beauty
I think you drive A Dacia spring

Better than all current models.
so good to see an imaginative design...love the cord fabric.
Fantastic design . Fantastic use of materials! Please mantain the cord seat!!! FANTASTIC!!!
This gives BladeRunner and cyberpunk vibes
Finally a good-looking BMW after the i3. Thumbs up for corduroy.
So glad that BMW of all brands chooses to continue giving us proper sedans, the little design clues reminiscing classic BMW design is absolutely brilliant.

BMW did a great job...please bring this to Canada with this amazing interior materials
The overall silhouette is very pretty, and clean looking. I’m happy it’s not another SUV variant. And it’s a welcome departure from the recent BMW horrors.
Yeah, at least the kidney grills are not just some useless air intake...
Awesome design! The new design language is amazing. It is quite appropriate for a modern car. As always Thomas does a great job presenting the car.
Congratulations, Thomas, you & BMW have another hit on your hands!
Fresh clean design with an homage to the classic BMW look. I love the large greenhouse.
Looking amazing ❤
Cord interior would be awesome! It looks so cozy
Great looking sedan, lots of classic BMW vibes!❤❤
I just hope the interior becomes more practical (round steering wheel, physical buttons, rectangle touchscreen).
I appreciate the use of recycled materials and CO2 neutral factory.
The side profile is one of the best retro modern designs I’ve seen in a while.
yeah I agree side profile is awesome

No daft screen with UI that already looks outdated. The magic seats and boot are possibly the best designed. Built to last, quite sustainable from that point. Can’t see any other modern replacement that matches that.
Happy to see the kidney grill back. Current owner of a 2022 5 series and this classy iteration of this new 3 series I will buy. Beautiful design classy and modern.
Finally, front grills and headlights are integrated.
No more beaver teeth! Love the minimalistic style and blend of classic and modern, well done BMW!
Stunning shape! that shark nose is so cool and takes the face of the 3 series to a future thinking production model 🙏
I been waiting on this since looking at the Dee concept and I'm here for the corduroy!

Last one was E39, 17 years till the end of the driver.
I still have E36 318is coupe and Z3 in my garage but daily drivers are Hyundai Ionic EV and Mazda CX-5. Because Beemer is ugly. Elegance has gone. Last 20 years. But this gives me hope. If Neue Klasse will come this look, I'm back.
@5:20 it's a yes for me for the corduroy, but as long as it is of the highest quality.(you can sit on it with jeans without pulling a hole in it, no fading and easy to clean) then again, they're german, so I'm not too worried about quality
The only thing is I didn't see any cool ambient lighting which I hope they do have in the final product
Again, just fantastic looking. Super stylised, but very tastefully. Aero aero aero.
It’s a nice and well needed reset of BMWs design language. The concept car also looks kind of compact/lean, Curious to see what the production car will look like.
I only have two thumbs but they’re both upward for big old school glasshouses.
Love it. Light, clean, no pulled taffy sheetmetal. And at last, a decent greenhouse so you don't feel like you're sitting in a pit.
The corduroy seats look really nice, esp the rear seats.
In one word 👌, also the front
Please add the corduroy! It's brilliant.
Love the larger windows and better ability to see outside. Brings humanity back versus boxed in SUV. And finally a grille that is nice. Hopefully they offer a touring version.
The silhouette, lighting and interior materials are so unique, and 100% to my liking. And that rear end is perfect! Also, I'd love for them to bring out the corduroy. :-D
Would you actually order one upon release?
I love that BMW is using it’s heritage to design this futuristic car. Only hope they can bring original design to mass production
Please don’t change anything. This should be the new 3 series as it is. It is simply amazing. I had a 3 series during 1999-2003 and it was a wonderful experience. Would love to go back to such a fantastic car with this new design. It is S I M P L Y B R I L L I A N T.
Love it! Please build it and bring it to the US!
Former loyal customer who know sticks to older BMWs as I can’t take the dreadful SUVs and grilles, this car in estate flavor would get my money in a heartbeat. Well done. A proper driver car that’s not trying to be a crossover or SUV.
Love the design. I would really like to see the corduroy seats as well as more textile options.
Not too sure about the colour of the yellow but absolutely love the swipe up from console to head ups Reminds me of Minority Report computer tech GREAT
I like it. Its really funky. Cool features with the screens.
I love what BMW is doing with this concept.
Love this so much. The exterior design is flat-out perfect in my view -- all sorts of subtle nods to BMW's heritage but still extremely modern. With this, BMW has finally figured out how to integrate the kidney identity into a modern, grille-less look. Masterful. There's much I like about the interior as well, but like Thomas, I want real, clicky controls. The center-console screen also seems both over designed and excessively tablet-like, perhaps taking one of the worst cues from Tesla. Still, this overall is one of the most successful concept cars I have ever seen, and I can't wait to see what the shipping version looks like.
That will be my next car, hopefully in that design and classic cord. I look forward to that.
Nice front reminiscent of the early design.
I like this design, modern and sharp but still traditional
Reminds me of a stillborn Nissan concept from a few years ago!
It’s a very clean design!
I was able to look at the car today. Looks even better in real life than in the video.
The seats colour combination are beautiful...i'm sure you will agree with me. Thank you.
Looks great. Rear lights should be thinner
Beautiful concept. Maybe this car can be the next design icon from BMW like the i3 is. I just hope they remember to make the car able to fit a roof rack. This was not possible with the i3.
Having had the i3 for a year, I really like having the gear selector on the steering column and having some physical buttons and knobs - I can do things without ever taking my eyes off the road. Please BMW, some physical buttons!
If the production version really keeps the sharknose yet turns out 30% more efficient than an i4 I'll be impressed.
Quality fabric seat material should be the new desirable and high end option
the only thing BMW should do:
bring back the e36 style, but make it a bit bigger and modern(similar to this NK E3), plus produce lots of M3 Kombi versions LoL
Amazing!! Love the new style. Interior and Exterior is beautiful!
How do you move items from the windscreen display back to the main display?
I like it! Bring back the corduroy and insure entry level-ish x drive from day for Canada please bmw!
Best looking BMW since the 80s
Love the exterior design. But the turn software features into multiple hardware devices features, I am not sure. After, what German software vendors bring to the market? SAP?
I really like the front and the stance of this car and the side. Change thee rear lights and give us an analog interior or old inspired one and you have a beautiful 3er BMW. The right direction of design with this one. But please at least the coloured logo
Wow this looks absolutely amazing. Both BMW and Merc are finally making good looking cars again.
Why fabric? Corduroy and white microfiber? It will be so hard to keep clean.
love to see cool ambient light in these both Klasse X and Neue like i5-i7 series
