One sentence from your post, though - "The larger grilles are due to customer reactions wanting far more presence and individuality". I'm honestly baffled at which customers asked for this. People on here like to blame the Chinese, but I don't know anything about that market.

BMW's already have plenty of presence. You pay attention when an F80 or F90 fills your rearview mirror with its perfectly proportioned grill. and there is no such thing as 'individuality' on a mass produced lineup of vehicles when you're making tens of thousands with the same grill.

so I get that bpost is a small subsection of your customer/fan base, but my takeaway from this is that you'd rather listen to the tacky douchebags in your customer base than us. Most likely because there are more of them with more purchasing power...
If that is the case make different grilles for different markets.
