My guess? They will continue to sell well.

Pretty much as correct as a statement can be. This forums does not reflect how well they will sell this cars, considering this is a enthusiast forums more then it is for the average BMW interested person. The narrow scope of vision for a lot of the users here makes them think they are a majority of who BMW is selling and making cars for. Just as with other forums where a lot of like minded people are there is little room for a different view of how something is gonna be or not. When you check the forums here a lot of people here are claiming "The end is near" BMW is gonna drown.
You go out to the real world people are more positive in their view of BMW's recent changes in both terms of design and putting more R&D and investing money in to sustainability. Being a Zealot is a dangerous thing it narrows your mind to such an extent that any other view is considered being heretic as we the Hofmeister kink that got so many on the forums exploding like a volcano... you go out to the real world and people are like "The kink what?"
Same with the grill change for with the 3 series as an example E21 you can clearly see the whole front is pretty much a grill both vertical and horizontal
If you are telling your self something else then you are simply kidding your self it is when they went to the E36 design thats when they changed to that of the more horizontal grill with painting the sides of the grill making it smaller and less of a focus
And that was kept all the way to the F series so to speak when they started experimenting with connecting the headlights to the grill, oh man i remember what of a crazy show that was. So in other words BMW has been stuck design wise between the year 1970-2013. For me the E21 Enormous front as the whole grill have been looking more sporty then what came after it until E90.
Now that they have finally broken free of those chains and can experiment with the design. Thats when the conservative side went in to full nuclear meltdown on the forums :-) I bet BMW as a company when they change designer in the future someone is gonna say "Oh we will never ever change to that of the G series design grill again" and then show will go on and on. After all BMW does what BMW does the best making money whether it be of enthusiasts or the average Joe consumer.
