G22 4 Series Arctic Race Blue

doug_999 · 10-09-2020, 07:23 PM

I love the color, but all I see is that grille. The chrome makes it even worse. It reminds me of a pimple that you just can't unsee.

Al Pinã · 10-09-2020, 07:28 PM

Fast forward to 2024 and all these crybabies will be driving CPO 430i's.

spuntyb · 10-09-2020, 07:44 PM

Absolutely love this color!

The rest of the car can go straight to hell

Unless the aftermarket gods can fix this atrocity!!

The G20 3 series grille in my opinion is not great either. if it went with the 8series grille now that is a handsome grille.

REMN4NT · 10-09-2020, 09:14 PM

Besides grill, this really does not look like BMW in every angle.

Sedan_Clan · 10-09-2020, 09:24 PM

I like the color.

Poiseuille · 10-09-2020, 09:53 PM

i really do like that paint very much.....but i have to ask: why is that on the fender? have the marketing guys finally lost it altogether or did a dealer do that?

It won't be on the US models.

Love the car. Still adjusting to the grill. It's going to take a lot of adjusting. But the car is phenomenal and I'd be excited to own one, but with the work I've put into my M2, I won't be making that leap.

But to everyone who has one on order, congratulations!!!! Very jealous of your engine. It's going to be a phenomenal car.

This was already put on the F3X with M packages, at least in Europe.

Fraggy · 10-10-2020, 12:04 AM

If I was young again, I'd be as proud of it as I was my first BMW, a 1994 318i coupe. It was awesome.

leon360x · 10-10-2020, 12:09 AM

Beautiful. This color makes the 4 series a really great looking car, I personally would go with this color.

FrozenE92M3 · 10-10-2020, 12:32 AM

To follow up on my previous comment. The fact that bmw now throws M badges on everything is disgraceful. A 420i with an M badge on the fender is disrespectful. Gone are the days when M badges were reserved for M cars. Now everything is AMG and M.

mmic77 · 10-10-2020, 01:36 AM

You‘re totally right. A few years ago I had a F12 650i with M package and they also slapped this badge on the fender. I felt extremly uncomfortable about this because it wasn‘t a M car. Then this trend watered down to 116i‘s and 320d‘s in Europe. What a shame.

True, but the reality is that in Europe there is a trim level called "M Sport" which explains why the badges are there.
But your comment is valid.

The English Guy · 10-10-2020, 01:45 AM

I can almost get myself to except the grill on the M3 and M4 because it's the M and we love M's and all will be forgiven eventually. But scrolling through these pictures the car looks stunning except for that terrible thing at the front. It really does look like something just stuck on the front, a really bad photoshop / render, totally out of proportion with the rest of the design.

The grill in body colour... that should be an option!

This works and is a mandatory modification if you have to get "The 4"

And with an M badge

The color does look great though. Can't say much about the car. Don't want to get banned from this forum too
