16 BMW's lose their kidney grilles...

VB5ER · 01-09-2016, 02:40 PM

And...... Fish face.

MalibuBimmer · 01-09-2016, 02:57 PM

Look like Jeeps to me.

RABAUKE · 01-09-2016, 03:20 PM

I'm thinking Volvo.

Dracon · 01-09-2016, 04:44 PM

Actually, they look like Zinoro vehicles.

Zinoro is a partnership been Brilliance Auto and BMW in China. They are basically re-badged and slightly re-designed BMW's sold in the Chinese market.

The M6 is the only one that looks reasonably normal. The rest are complete cock-ups.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank God it's just some guy messing around with ps. They are hideous!!

pz619 · 01-09-2016, 09:53 PM

I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

ShocknAwe · 01-09-2016, 10:22 PM

Wow. Look like KIA/Toyota/Honda etc. Totally bored. Sad that the only interesting style indication left is the kidney grilles.

Interesting exercise, the cars look like any other cars out there. Just goes to show you how recent BMWs have nothing distinctive vs the competition other than the kidney grilles (with the i's being the exception). Yet another sign of complacency with genericism and a far cry of the risk taking of years past.

pbjjj · 01-10-2016, 01:06 PM

At a quick glance I thought these were some new Kia vehicles...

BMW just knows that we need two kidneys
