Imagine if you told someone a couple years back that we'd be redesigning BMWs to have BIGGER grills!

I’m a big fan of the idea of making the kidneys stretch from head to middle. This (stock) looks like my ideal kidneys with regular kidneys ontop. I’m in it for the 70’s style BMW graphics

I just think it won't be produced like this. The front graphics yes but not the side silhouette: Having no front bumper but a hard edge above the headlights is impractical and would in case of a collision throw the opponent under the car rather than on top of the hood. So I assume the angle will have to be changed and a bumper added (even though for some reasons designers don't like bumpers looking like such any more). Speaking of side silhouettes, from the side the blunt front end of the NK-X looks rather unelegant to me. I much prefer the sloping hoods of Porsche.

That little tweak was all that was needed nice job Bem👍🏿

I REALLY like both of the Neue Klasse designs!

Can you make a Neue Klasse Sedan sketch with the front end including the kidneys like the SUV does? That would make the sedan look so much better.

Dude that redesign is so much better. Front end especially. Does not look like a caricature. Looks like a BMW for a start. Great work. Goes to show, automotive industry has lost their way a long long time ago. They do not know what proportion is about anymore. Keep up the good work.

The thing i dont get it is why Bmw left its beautiful and characteristic two round head lights. In current models they put sharp corners to them. In this concept they r just two lines. I was hoping sketch monkey to change the head lights into two round head lights. He didnt do it also. I really believe the car will look much more handsome and much more real Bmw.

@@mrsoisauce9017 i agree with u. The overall design language is much more consistent and loyal to Bmw dna. Especially comparing with the recent models the ugly 4 series, 7 series and iX. My problem with this concept is two paralel line head lights. Why not use two round head lights which is one of the strongest characteristics of Bmw dna along with L shaped back lights and the Hofmeister kink.

@@fratsimsek2600 the Hofmeister Kink is intact, so we don’t have to worry about that. The L shaped taillights should make a return. But as for the headlights, I personally think just having the two lines for the headlights is very fitting of the rest of the design language of the car. Something rounder just wouldn’t work on this design imo

I think your modified grille design would also fit nicely on the sedan concept. Such a massive improvement.

I have thought the vertical kidneys should have been on the sedan from the start. After all, the sedan is inspired by the E30 and/or 2002, which famously have the vertical grills.

I love the e30 look of this grill.

Wow! You actually made a BMW look way better.

I've got the idea of the new BMW's: they are inspired by 2002ti Garmisch - just take a look, you will see how much similarities they have

Yes exactly

I LOVE this new design language and honestly I prefer the front before the redesign. The proportions are perfect too!

I appreciate the elegance and cohesion you bring to these design touch-ups.

Those little changes made all the difference and that looks much better.

About your comment on the angle of the front end of the sedan, I actually quite like it because it calls back to the 2002. If anything, I wish the rear was either more squared off or angled outwards

The small changes to the rear lights made such a big difference! Now it looks quite good.

Since you gave the e46 as a reference, why not use the same solution as the e46 with the creases coming down from the hood and wrapping around a smaller grille about as thick as the headlights themselves?

I didn't tough it looks to bad but now after seeing your simple redesign really shows the potential the car has 👍🏽

bro u really a car enthusiast really love the redesign

Dope work man. I really like what you did with the front end. Looks great

Have you seen the new Opel Astra? The BMWs front end top part looks like that, just with some nostrils

100% agree with the changes made here, much more bmw much better on the eyes. Either way these concepts are an improvement on bmws current design language

The kidneys look good not stretched out. It loogs like the whole car connects at that point!

Like your changes, some hope for BMW maybe, well stylistically anyway.

I like the redesign, but I'd slim down the kidneys just a bit further to be more rectangular than square. And round headlights. And I'd do every BMW's rear like the new X1 with the prominent hockey sticks.

Honestly great redesign 🎉

Change the headlights to demoneyes, and it will look perfect!

I like this nice throwback to the older Bimmer’s but it sharp and muscular looking

I wonder how that interior will evolve now that the EU (fortunately) declared buttons safer than screens and with possible changes to homologation of new vehicles coming as a result of this

It would look more cohesive with kidney's height the same as headlight height.

What art program do you use for this? I want to learn to do that. Awesome redesigning vids, keep it up dude

Hip line is the new shoulder line.

Front maybe, but I very much prefer the back how it is.

Nice Pontiac

Even if they push hard for autonomous driving, they're not forcing anyone to use it (so far) and I don't think they ever will.

👏😁👏You're a very good Sketcher👌🤩👌

It had rabbit teeth now has beaver teeth, i think the grill should be as tall as the headlights and slightly wider than those you made! Still very fun to watch your videos!

I thought the tab door handle on the Mustang Mach-e was a cheap afterthought and I’m disappointed to see it here. Similar to door handles built into the window trim on some Lincoln models it looks odd and from some angles like an accident or major defect. The changes are an improvement but it loses some of its uniqueness. The rear view looks more generic, like a VW. I agree I like the more simplified and integrated headlights into the kidney grille of the sedan concept.

I feel like the grill on the sedan sorta looks like the Kia tiger nose grill.

After Edsel and Tribecca, why do the manufacturers keep doing the vertical nose thing?

it will be better to see the front grills sharing the same size of lights-bloc. inserted between the same parallel lines.

Is the badge under paint

It would be interesting to see a redesign of the Ssangyong Actyon (2008)🍷🗿👌. Hi from Ukraine! 🇺🇦

I get that the “kidney” grille is a signature design feature of BMW. However with electric cars there’s no need for a grille to cool the engine so , why have one solely for nostalgia purposes? Why not reinvent the identity so that form follows function again?

Much better!

BMW! TAKE NOTES!

Reminds me of an alfa romeo grill

I like the nostrils they way they are. I prefer your rear though. I would tidy up the graphics around the bumper. There is too much non-sensical black stuff going on down there.

BMW to their designers: "we dont care how ugly it is, just make sure you accentuate the nostrils, theyre the only thing that matters!" Designers: "say no more!"

X5 crossed with 02.. and RAV4 :)

Bro made ot look more BMW,the redesign tail lights almost resembles the X4 tail lights

Bmw❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My takes : Front : 3 - yeap Stretch em kidneys! Side : 4 - Beautiful side view thou Maybe Make More Front overhang?! looks like it hit a wall , and the hood is a bit too tall?! Maybe Make it slope a bit More Downwards with the larger overhang Back : 4 - Make the hatch door larger it looks like it opens up above the waist line of Most average size Adults

i love neue klasse design language, but the implementation of the kidneys on the X looks too odd for me

The grill and the backlights bothered me the most. this looks so much better already.

Not a fan of the redesign. I don't mind the grills too much. I'm not sure about the split lower bumper though. In the rear the tail lights should be L-shaped IMO.

The reason why they went vertical grilles was to distinguish the SUV from the sedan.i get it's more aesthetically pleasing with the wide grilles but that's why they went that way

I see the Disconnect. BMW has INTERNAL Dogma that the 2002 is Peak BMW, but we the fans know that the e46 M3 is Peak BMW. We want an e46 Grill and Face, and they keep trying to push the 2002 (from G80 M3 onward)

definitely the kidney grilles look too much like pinched nostrils, if they just shorter it would be nicer but I still generally like the design

A dark kidney would be the best 9:16.

The Ferrari Purosangue has the same door handles.

do you believe in RESURRECTION ?? I m not seeing any BMW here. i see a FRENCH peugeot .or maby a renault laguna rear from 2010.

sorry I prefer the original thinner longer grill. It's a classic reminiscence of BMW e28

Redesign of the grid didn't save it in my opinion.

Honestly, I think BMW got it right this time, on both models. No tweaks or touch-ups needed in my opinion. I really appreciated that BMW is doing a much better job of incorporating feedback from CUSTOMERS for their future design language.

I would get rid of the grille. The sedan has it figured out.

Looks atrocious. It was dead on arrival, putting lipstick on it didn't help. You tried, but some can't be fixed my guy. I don't know what the hell is going on with car styling anymore. That white 3 series looks like a morphed mitsubishi lancer rear end. So strange.

Well, 2023 BMW has sold 2.3 million cars. More than ever before. It seems a lot of people like the design.

That sedan grille looks like the Opel vizor grille with a line added in the middle. For the BMW I prefer the narrow kidneys. It is a new start for BMW. They will need enough space to let the kidneys grow for the next decades 😊

Both of your redesign and BMW are ugly. Really really ugly
