Here's How Hilariously the Huge 2019 BMW X7 Grille Fits on an old E30
Here's How Hilariously the Huge 2019 BMW X7 Grille Fits on an old E30-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:02

I thought we were done laughing about the breadth of the ’s nostrils, but then car writer Jason Cammisa went ahead and took the effort to physically face-swap BMW’s enormous SUV with the iconic E30 and frankly it’s hilarious.

I should probably disclose that I actually love the X7–driving that soft mechanical elephant from Las Vegas to LA felt about his close as I could imagine to flying in a private jet without leaving the Earth.

But, yeah, the design proportions are a little absurd. (And the grille the internet has been giggling about since early concept photos came out is in fact 16 inches tall and 32 inches wide, by the way, as measured by the iPhone of a BMW rep at the X7 launch.)

Every automaker has evolved its models to be larger than their older ones, but since BMW has had a signature snout for so long, the stark contrast between old and new is, uh, particularly apparent.

The Best Japanese Car Show of the Early Internet Is On Amazon Prime
It’s informative. It’s entertaining. It’s an introduction to how cars work, how they should be driven, and how weird they can be. It’s not Top Gear or The Grand Tour; it’s Best Motoring’s Hot-Version and it’s on Amazon Prime. That’s more of the show than we’ve seen before, too, as...

BMW Is Somehow Doing Two More 500 Horsepower SUVs
The 2020 and were just a warning shot, the first wave of an onslaught of 500 horsepower super SUVs we may not be prepared for. And there’s two more now, with the 2020 M50i and M50i. More power, more SUVs, more large Bimmer people-movers on the way. We’ve reached...

U.S. Buyers Still Overwhelmingly Choose a Manual for the Subaru BRZ and WRX
