Munich - The year 2020 was
not only
a challenge
for die-hard
BMW fans
because of
Corona
: When some of the new products from the Munich company were presented, one design feature in particular heated people's minds: the huge new radiator grille.
The elongated "monster kidney" caused
displeasure
in the
BMW 4 Series
and the
BMW iX electric SUV
- and sparked a debate about the design of future vehicles.
Despite the criticism,
does Adrian van Hooydonk's
division
stick
to the philosophy of emphasizing the front grille as a controversial feature of his design language?

Renderings give an outlook on the new generation
Erlkönig images of
the next 7-generation
BMW G70 are
fueling speculation that the Bavarians will row back a gear with the seventh generation.
The
impressions taken
by Erlkönig photographer
CarPix
in a snowy landscape suggest that
van Hooydonk could make
the next generation of the luxury sedan a little more subtle.
The development of the
BMW 7 series successor
is already in full swing in Munich.
There is still some way to go before the market launch, which is why there could still be changes to the design.
But the current Erlkönig photos indicate that the future flagship could have a smaller kidney grille and narrow, square headlights.
What supporters could more rapture: renderings of the Russian car portal
Kolesa
show already unveiled impressions of the new
BMW model
: It is not official, generated at computer images of how the
BMW novelty
could 2022 look as successor to the current generation.
The luxury-class BMW shines with futuristic, stylish light elements and a wider, flatter kidney.
In all likelihood, this concept is less polarizing.
Muscular wheel arches and the elegant silhouette should also generate less headwind for fans loyal to the brand.

However, opinions on BMW design are divided worldwide.
While the new radiator grille is particularly hot among
BMW fans
in Germany
, Asia seems to have fewer problems with oversized versions of this type of vehicle:
According to reports,
BMW
should
also break new ground under the bonnet of the new 7 Series.
According to this, the group could do without V8 and V12 combustion engines in its flagship in the future.
Instead,
hybrid units
and
electric
versions
could be
used.
But a comprehensive realignment of the drive range also contains explosives.
After all, the current diesel-powered 7 series model impresses with its efficiency and moderate fuel consumption - which leads to the question of whether this category really belongs on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, BMW has caused a stir online with the announcement of a new super sports car.
Brand fans in the USA fear that they are looking down the tube.
