85% of the 4 Series Concept will carry over to production

clee1982 · 12-02-2019, 05:22 PM

Not sure why but concept 4 looks better bolder, this looks blend

I thought they would have taken it to the USA too.

My question was really about why SCOTT26 chose to endorse an image of that particular 3D model to suggest that the production car was 85% similar to the concept, and where the model designer might have gotten their information from.

On closer inspection, although the page is titled "BMW 4 Series 2019 3D model", the URL (https://hum3d.com/3d-models/bmw-concept-4/#video) suggests that somebody just made a model of the Concept car.

At this point, the only thing that makes sense is waiting for production car to be made available to the general public.

Definitely baffles me too. Why SCOTT26 chose to attach a render from a bad quality 3D model site while real life photos of the 4 Concept are abundant, is strange to me. It's actually why I even clicked on the story.

so if 85% carries over to production I bet the grill is the 85% of the car. lol

Pegassus84 · 12-02-2019, 05:39 PM

Hopefully the 15% that'll change is that infernal grille!

It does look better... but that's because it's now an Audi R8

This car has outline and stance? I can't see anything but *oink*.

While all these giant grilles look like ass, Shelby has done it the "best".

Was this one influenced by the Asian market too?

Crimson92 · 12-02-2019, 06:16 PM

That's fine. 0% of my money will ever go towards a new BMW.

I think the shift in brands might be the most noticeable this time around.

RedScytheM3 · 12-02-2019, 06:38 PM

Hmm does anyone else see a mustang if you cross your eyes a little ?

The Concept looks way too special to be a base 4er, but I fear they will neuter it too much. I'm worried this will be a mix of both bland AND ugly. I'll take bold over that any day.

Taco_Bueno · 12-02-2019, 06:47 PM

Lets hope the 15% that doesn't carry over is that awful front end

emulajavi · 12-02-2019, 07:09 PM

The disgusting hood line is missing on the pic... and it’s a thing that changes it (for worse) a lot.

85% of the 4 Series Concept carries over to production. And whilst the details have been exaggerated for conceptual purpose. The details remain but are brought up to meet many properties for production.

Is the grill worth 15%?
