Electric BMW iM2 Concept

SW19 · 07-07-2017, 04:16 PM

Why is this being posted in the M2 forum?Its ugly,has x drive and is electric.I only want the next M2 to be rear wheel drive with the fabulous BMW inline six cylinder engine.

I can't unsee beaver teeth with that grill.

As an industrial designer, it's a nice design exercise. Especially considering he's not a transportation design major (which is 4 years of nothing but car designs). Theres's a lot I don't love but overall there's some cool gestures and proportions.

For people posting thinking this is some kind of secret BMW concept art, and your comments are somehow useful marketing feedback -

As a design exercise I think it's pretty good.

to_riffic · 07-07-2017, 05:23 PM

bmw can keep their scion-esque electric alternative...

CommitConfirm · 07-07-2017, 05:31 PM

I'd buy one

EINSER M · 07-07-2017, 06:18 PM

pikcachu · 07-07-2017, 06:40 PM

It's missing a grill. Somehow doesn't look like a BMW from the front

nsdofh · 07-07-2017, 07:28 PM

Laughing at all the people thinking this is a leaked BMW concept. Great design exercise though, with a bit of tweaking I'm all for electric performance cars!

I like it. The wheels are pretty nice too.

dvno · 07-07-2017, 08:32 PM

eh

///MDriver · 07-07-2017, 08:40 PM

Looks good except the grilles. They are just placed there and doesn't work well. Redesign those for sure.. Overall not bad.

Needbmwpartzz · 07-07-2017, 08:49 PM

Too many aggressive lines/angles at the front.....but the side looks fantastic and rear looks not too bad.

ORIGIN M. · 07-07-2017, 09:39 PM

Not according to AMG, they will embrace Performance BEV's [Battery Electric], so BMW will have no choice but to compete. Also huge chance the upcoming CSL's will be Plugin Hybrid Electric [PHEV] so go figure.

psuibmw · 07-07-2017, 10:14 PM

I like it from this angle

What that AMG will do something while M does nothing.

Electric is becoming mainstream, Performance Electric is the logical next level.
