>With its classical, understated aesthetic and the company’s original name spelt out, the logo highlights BMW’s inimitable history. The daring to explore standalone solutions and concepts, and the ability to take on challenges and emerge from them stronger, are deeply-rooted elements of BMW heritage. This approach – encompassing everything from the first altitude-world-record-breaking aero engine to the launch of the BMW i brand – has proven to be a recipe for success, as well as showcasing the company’s passion, confidence and gift for bringing the future into the present day. And it is also apparent in the lifestyle of a target group well accustomed to trying new things, taking the lead and choosing a free and independent path in life.

>“For these people, life is all about making the best possible use of the time available to them,” says Hildegard Wortmann, Senior Vice President Brand BMW. “Their motto is ‘to own the moment’ – i.e. to max out every snap-shot of time with meaningful and beautiful things.”

BMW really seems to be going for a bigger chunk of the high-end market. My big question is if the black-and-white roundel will actually start appearing on cars, and if they'll start calling the 7er just the 7 in more than just ads like this. We'll see soon enough!

X7 looks bad

>a mild disincentive
Yes, unless you live in a city where auto-burglaries have been de-criminalized. Then, they make the situation worse because the youths will start breaking windows and destroying the interior looking for the key.

LOL.

Also IG has all the "carboys" that like showing offf their shitty rides.

I like it better than the Leaf.

>>17857693
Trash interior like all EVs
Decent range, not exactly high-end Tesla but close
Gimmick paddle is stupid (seriously, EV makers, just tie regen braking to the normal brake pedal with a detent system so that the first detent activates the regen and the second detent activates the friction brakes so you can still stop quickly if some idiot tries to ram you. It's that simple.)
Dumbass shifter design takes everything bad about the the prius's tweak-knob selector and makes it worse
Decent acceleration, much better than a comparable gasoline econobox like a Honda Fit but not setting any records
Speed governed to an absurdly slow limit (95-ish, I think) so good luck making an overtake on the faster parts of the US interstate.
40k pricetag new, maybe some dealer discounts and the 7500k tax credit if you're an american

oh, yeah, and the big kicker:
LITERALLY NO CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
It's not compatible with tesla superchargers and other EV fast charging stations will take 6 hours to get the battery full if you can find one at all.

Final rating
5/10 chevy, you tried, but you still make really stupid decisions some times. At least it's not a fucking leaf

>Was the Ford GT pointless?
No, it was meant to advertise a mediocre shitbox engine. it was never meant to beat the 488GTB or any of the Mclarens. its a collector's item and that's about it. you will never see any lap records because Ford won't let anyone test it. as it Super Car it might as well be irrelevant and that's disappointing because it could've been so much more. it could've been one of the greatest cars of the 2010s.

I just pretend the new TVR Griffin is Ford's super car.

I cut a hole in the air intake box and ran a length of flexible dryer hose from there into the grille. This ram-air intake gave me at least another 1/10 HP on the top end, which approximately doubled the car's power and also doubtless had everybody in the shop doubled over laughing every time I took it in for inspection.

I put a bucket seat in my car because I couldn't fit in it
