I absolutely love the front aesthetic of this car, not too sure why it gets hated on so much. It looks aggressive, but like a more sophisticated aggressiveness then you see on other BMWs. I'm in love with this car.

It only looks good in like 1 or 2 colors. White or any other contrasting color looks terrible

The lucid air is beautiful and the EQS is disgusting. This BMW i7 is ... alright. So it goes right in the middle. Not repulsive like an EQS, not really sweet like a lucid air. I'd be pretty concerned about the first model of an automaker though, in terms of long term support and such... Who knows if the company will even exist in five years... And a BMW will drive well, very well... So if I had to buy a large electric sedan, I'd go BMW.
