I haven't been a BMW fanboy for many years, but I respect the company's engineering vision and commitment to producing exciting performance cars that incur a minimum environmental impact in their production and everyday use. I haven't liked any Bangle-era cars save the new M3 sedan, X5, and new Z4. Flame surfacing, Chris Bangle's most notorious contribution to BMW's design language, altered the look of cars across the globe. Unfortunately, that design characteristic seems to have been perfected by a host of other marques while BMW languished in awkward executions of its own brainchild. Now Mr. Bangle has left, and we're thrust into the von Hooydonk era. The opening act: The Vision EfficientDynamics Concept.
63 mpg. 0-60 in 4.8. Cd of 0.22. Yes. Just yes. BMW, darling. Sweetie, dearest, please take a leap in this direction. No incremental, creeping steps. Launch out to this design language and engineering paradigm. It'll work, and I'll be a fanboy again.
