The overall design language is actually basically the same as the sedan version, and the biggest difference may be the taillights. In addition, unlike before, the G61 cannot open the rear tail window alone, only the entire tailgate.

On June 5th, a new generation of F70 1 series was released, the exterior and interior were completely renewed, and everyone who is beautiful and ugly has nothing to do with China anyway. But it is worth mentioning that this time BMW has removed the suffix i from the tail mark of the gasoline car, for example, the previous M135i is now M135.

The first is the G99 M5 crockpot, which is the return of the M5 travel version after many years, the design will be similar to the G90, the power is the same, this car is sure to go to the North American market, and the country is still enough to choke.
Then there is the four-door GC of the 2 series, codenamed F74, the overall change is roughly the same as that of F70, and at the same time, this car will also be lengthened domestically, codenamed F78.
The new 3 Series mentioned above, then the domestic exclusive i3 will also change.
