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?

BMW 7 Series: Design Debate on the G70?

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.

BMW kidney polarized - next 7 Series again with a controversial front?

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.
