YES! The Hood-line is atrocious. I actually had hope BMW was getting rid of it until the Z4 came out and now these leaks, its really disappointing and ugly.

I don't get it, why can't they just keep the hood from the concept? Pedestrian safety issue?

I definitely don't like the giant grille, but something as simple as making the separation of the kidneys at the top less prominent results in a far less hideous design. To me at least.
Quick 'n dirty Photoshop job:

Do you think that the 911 would still be considered so highly by car enthusiasts if it had lost its design identity? I would prefer to keep my m2 forever than to buy a so-called BMW that looks like that... |

These typical mobile phone wide-angle shots make little sense to evaluate a design. Nevertheless, I wonder what kind of image this big mouth design should convey. "Look, I'm really a big guy, a dangerous big guy and now get out of my way" ?
The jagged style of the side air intakes with the many lines and grilles also confuses more than it fascinates the eye. The new style of the taillight design with these ugly, large, dirty-gray areas also has nothing of the elegance of the current M4 taillights. So just for design reasons, I would hardly buy this car. Meanwhile, I like the simple Tesla design more and more. Unexpected this is... |

I drove a 330i as a loaner this week. 2020 model. Coming from my daily driver 2018 430, the car drives "tall" certainly not as road hugging as the 4 series. The sporty feel just is not there; albeit a nice ride .
Don't think I can go back to a 3 series if the new 4 does not satisfy my needs when looking at this grill. My options would be slim after that based on budget so seriously consider another brand. I hope the end product looks decent, as the look of the car starting at the front needs to be spot on. |

For the current 4 concept, a lot of aspects wouldn't make it to production, like the mirrors, headlights, low hood/hood-line. More like 80% if you ask me, but should look similar but not as good.
