BMW XM coming in 2023. The 750bhp plug in hybrid we didn't know we needed.

As an example of the sheer lack of imagination/innovation in modern car manufacturing and/or their target markets, that takes some beating.
 
Ah, you're right, there was in fact an important reason to design a front that will kill maximum children.

I'm sure you know far more than vehicle designers about pedestrian impact surfaces, but BMW have gotten pretty good at designing some of the safest front-ends there are.

The one pictured above hasn't been tested yet but I'd far rather kids stepped out in front of this BMW than in front of almost any other car:

Eureka, i have discovered why people want tractors in London. I'm watching motor pickers and the bloke wants n electric car for 59-69k. Car 1 is a large Audi SUV. He says it will be perfect for dealing with pot holes. So there you have it.

The amount of brutal traffic calming they've installed round my way I'm starting to think they have a point.
 
This is a fine example and often gets em. I once saw a person turn left on to the bridge, got stressed by the width restrictions and went around them in the other side of the road ( this is in Chelsea).

This is on my commute home every day. It’s a bloody nightmare, in particular the traffic turning left onto the bridge from the Chelsea Embankment road.

To be fair most of the vehicles that get properly stuck are not SUVs but white vans or small trucks. Some of them were clearly not familiar with area & not paying attention to the signage, as their vehicle would have not been able to squeeze through the bollards at all. Others however are the typical entitled selfish white van cunts who will happily manoeuvre back and forth for a good half a minute until they have it aligned and can inch forward. Fucking up the local traffic in the process, and all because using Battersea Bridge a mere few hundred metres down the road would add a whole three minutes to their journey.

Anyway, I’d be in favour of removing the bollards, and introducing cameras and instant fines for unauthorised vehicles. Also banning left turns onto the bridge for anything wider then Golf.

Regrettably I think it also has a weight limit. I had a friend with access to a Bentley 8 (he was the chauffeur) - Even if he could get it through the gap, it was too heavy for the bridge (2.3 Tonnes > 2 tonnes)

I gather electric cars can be on the heavy side

IME that's not the case at all. In particular when you bear in mind that there is almost always a queue to turn left onto Albert Bridge from the embankment anyway. Admittedly clearing the bridge and driving away faster than doing so at the nearby Battersea Bridge, but it doesn't equate to more than a very few extra minutes.
 
Restrictions on the Albert - They had barriers on Hammersmith to restrict the flow of traffic; what happened to those
Then there is the barrier between Townmead Road and Harbour Avenue which is manned 24/7 and they will not let unauthorised vehicles through come what may.
Imagine what it would do for the cruise if they took the restrictions on the Albert away ( I can remember the big yanks doing a circuit that included Chelsea and Albert) :)
