What is BMW doing?

Ya, I dunno. I’ve kinda been saying the opposite for years. Car designers (don’t really know any personally) are great at sketching, yes. But are they good designers? Is it really a case where everything wrong is done by non-designers? Or, are designers not making sketches that translate into manufacturable/saleable products? Are designers not advocates enough for their work? Surely designers are responsible for this atrocity. How are designers not to be blamed when they sketch concepts with 26" wheels and 3" of DLO and then the real car looks stupid on normal sized rims with actual space for humans?
