The new head of BMW exterior design, Domagoj Dukec, brought with him a rather controversial vision for the iconic kidney grille. Starting with the 7-series, the nostrils keep getting bigger and our favorite models are getting rendered beyond recognition. Is it a breath of fresh air for the German brand that has always been cautious with significant design changes or a disaster that will set BMW back for years? To answer this question today we will be exploring the entire 2021 lineup inside and out, evaluating the exterior and interior upgrades, as well as performance prowess of new models.

Check out the rest of our 2021 New Cars Series here:
#1 2021 BMW 4 Series Coupe
2021 BMW 4 Series Coupe offers perfect 50:50 weight distribution, can be optioned with an Adaptive M suspension, and depending on the chosen wheels and tires, can reach 130 or 155mph speeds. Globally, it is released in engine options, while in the US, you will be able to choose between the 255-horsepower 430i with Rear or All-Wheel-Drive, and the 382-hp 440i XDrive.
#2 BMW 5 Series
In nearly 50 years of its existence BMW’s mid-range 5-Series sedan has built a reputation of a model that skillfully balances between executive luxury and sports performance. Today it is sold with 4,6 and 8 cylinder engines, strong hybrid and plugin-hybrid configurations.
#3 BMW iX3
By 2022, BMW will be releasing 3 all-new models within the electric I range. The X3-based compact crossover is the first to be mounted on the new CLAR modular architecture, plus it debuts the 5th generation scalable drivetrain technology from BMW.
#4 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo
The Bavarians continue to tease the automotive community with new media of the fourth generation 6-Series Gran Turismo, which arrives with a mid-cycle facelift for 2021. Its exterior becomes sportier and more refined especially upfront, where new LED headlights with L-shaped DRLs complement slimmer chrome kidney grille.
#5 2021 BMW 4 Series Convertible
With a pricetag starting more than 6.5K premium over the Coupe model, the new, 2nd generation Convertible sits on top of the 4-Series food chain. The model has the same construction and exterior design as its sibling: the body is stiffer, the car has 50:50 weight distribution and low gravity center, and the polarizing grille is still here.
#6 2021 BMW X1 and X2 xDrive25e
BMW is on the electrification path, and it is not planning to turn from it. In 2021, the company is once again expanding its PHEV crossover family, which means that only the largest X6 and X7 SUVs remain plug-in less. The new X2 xDrive25e is propelled by a combo of a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, a 95-horsepower electric motor, and a 10kWh battery.
#7 BMW i4
Right after the iX3 crossover BMW electric pipeline will be delivering a sedan model which shares design and dimensions with the 4 Series.
#8 BMW 5 Series Touring
Those markets that haven’t yet given up on the outstanding family touring capabilities of station wagons, will be welcoming this more practical version of the 5-Series.
#9 2021 BMW X7 Dark Shadow Edition
Based on the top-of-the-line X7 M50i, 2021 BMW X7 Dark Shadow Edition raises the exclusivity bar for the 7-seater. The SUV has a limited production run of 600 units, out of which just 75 will arrive to the US shores.
#10 2021 BMW 8 Series Golden Thunder Edition
In 2021, the new generation 8-Series gets another extravagant variant styled by BMW Individual. The Gold Thunder Edition is available in Coupe, Convertible, and Gran Coupe body styles, with any of their drivetrain options, but it will still have strictly limited production numbers for each market.

Let me share my very painful experience with BMW. I Bought a 2012, 528i M package with only 41k, from a dealer. (that time car was less than 4 years old), beautiful car, excellent driving experience until in about 2 WEEKS (yes saw it correctly 2 weeks only) when the car started smoking like crazy every morning and when the engine was cold, found out these cars have issue with Turbo charge and BMW offered extended warranty due to commonality of the issue. It was fixed in BMW of Monrovia in south CA. the car run for less than 6 months before the check engine light came on and dealer charged me $190.00 to diagnose the issue and told me it would cost me $850 to fix an issue with thermostat. and they did, few month later, it was another check engine light but this time a independent mechanic helped me and changed the engine belt. The battery was the next to get changed, Then the driver side Harness Safety Belt Seat Belt Clip got messed up and I had to buy a used one form eBay and changed it myself to save some money and time (these time BMW dealers are charging $210.00 /h labor (more than what most of the physician get paid). In less than 3 years and when the car had only 60k all the interior bottoms started chipping paints and the seat (in particular driving seat) started fainting and cracking), I bought interior paint and fix the seats but the bottoms kept chipping, and while in 72 k, car had drive train issue and needed either new engine (12k) or thanks god, I found a mechanic who helped me change the Timing chain, and tensioner (which BMW is under a huge lawsuit for being such an unreliable cars) for about 4k. and happily sold the car. If these are not reliability issues what will be!! PLEASE stop selling this stupid car until the company takes responsibility.
Not a fan of the new exterior designs. Way too sporty, and not elegant enough, for the standard luxury car.
