Domagoj Dukec, 41, has been with the BMW Group since 2010, where his responsibilities have included exterior design for the BMW brand and, most recently, BMW i design. 1989 Pforzheim graduate previously worked for Volkswagen and Citroën and was part of the design team responsible for the Citroën C4 coupé, C5 Airscape, C5 (Mark II), Hypnos and GQ Concept. He has previously been the head of exterior design at BMW and penned, among many others, the beautiful Concept Vision ConnectedDrive. Now Dukec is back in Frankfurt to showcase his latest creation and likely to illustrate the future of the BMW i and its design language.
The BMW i Vision Dynamics is the latest concept to emerge under the i sub-brand and in 2020, it will join several other electric cars in the i portfolio, along with the already established and successful i3 and i8. The four-door Gran Coupe is not a classic concept car, but a preview of a real standard vehicle: the study of today will come as a standard vehicle on the road in 2021 with a range of 600 kilometers. It will also have the ability to sprint from 0 to 100 in 4.0 seconds and a top speed of over 200 km/h.
The design of the BMW i Vision Dynamics is based on the study Vision Next 100, which was presented last year, but has already taken a major step towards the development of the standard vehicle. The interior of the four-door hatchback sedan is intended to provide at least comfort for four occupants, the ability to drive autonomously with the help of state-of-the-art assistance systems, as well as state-of-the-art infotainment with comprehensive networking.
Just like the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics, the new concept aims to be an emotional car that shows BMW’s commitment not only to electric drives but also to emotional design. And this was exactly the focus of our interview with Dukec on the show’s floors earlier this month. The talented designer talked to us about the design of current i cars before looking ahead into the future and explaining the philosophy behind the new electric concept and what it means for the brand and its customers.
Why can’t they just make an electric BMW?
3 Series, X3, MINI hatch EVs all announced.
Then why another i car?
Autonomous.
That makes no sense, they could make any BMW autonomous, and electric.
BMW iNEXT.
Absolutely hideous BMW.
I’ve seen better looking cars drawn by 5-year old kids with a crayon.
Prezados,
Sou inventor e temos o domínio da Energia Eletromagnética Autossustentável, Limpa, 100% Ecologicamente e Correta, através do GEMASV – Gerador Eletromagnético Autossustentável Vertical de 2.0 MW/h com AUTONOMIA de 24 (vinte e quatro) meses, funcionando ininterruptamente.
Estamos em busca de Investidores e Parcerias para produzirmos em escala industrial esses GEMASV.
O GEMASV pode ser inserido no contexto do setor automotivo, agronegócio e na área espacial, porque não se utiliza de Óleo no Carte porque não tem carte e de nenhum tipo de combustíveis Fósseis, Renováveis e Nuclear.
Estamos na intenção de produção dos GEMASV entre 2.5 MW/h até 15 MW/h, podendo ser móvel e o espaço ocupado do GEMASV de 2.5 MW/h até 3.5 MW/h é de apenas 01 (um) m², já dá para imaginar o espaço que ocupará o GEMASV de 15 MW/h.
Esse GEMASV usa a formula da “ENERGIA QUE GERA ENERGIA ELETROMAGNÉTICA.”
Bem, se derem crédito para essas palavras aguardamos o vosso contato.

For 41 year `old man he looks a lot older than that. I hope its not BMW thats making him so grey. The car is really interesting.That range of 600km on one charge sounds absolutely amazing. And its just 4 years away. BMW is definitely at the front when it comes to this technology.
So it’s this guy’s fault my i3 is so ugly, and now he’s got the kidney grille dreadfully wrong on this one and copied Kia’s grille for the windows instead of giving us the BMW kink that customers want.
BMW, you should sack this guy if you want to sell more i-cars.
No, he didn’t design the i3. The guy in charge of the i division left two years ago.
Dukec also designed quite a few stunning cars at BMW, including some cool concepts. He’s certainly talented and you will see lots of other cool cars in the future.
The Z3 was a sleek sexy car. Since then it has gone down hill. This is just plain ugly – sorry, but this is never going to be a car I want to drive and I don’t care what the specs on it are.
