(I admit that I am slightly concerned that so many people may think my putative new car is ugly! Probably won’t stop me going ahead anyway, cos I love it, but it’s nice to have admiration rather than pity!)

After ordering my car and reading all of hyperbolic comments on BFest, I naturally assumed that 50% of the people who saw my car would hate it. Or would at least have some strong opinions on the grill. But since I received it last week, everyone I’ve showed it to in person love the design and no one thinks the grill is too big, weird, or that it ruins the car. So don’t assume that the comments here by BMW purists are representative.
Look, no car design is perfect—even BMW’s. If you scrutinize every design element, you can find flaws in every one of the BMW models, even the 3 series. Having lived with the new 4 series for a week now in my garage, I think the front end is the most attractive angles of the design while the rear end appears somewhat bloated from some angles. I love it, and if you liked the previous design, you’ll like this too. It’s damn fun to drive too.
