The grille is the least of the styling problems with this car, IMO.
There was no reason to discard the hofmeister kink. No reason to start the new bland kink from the front door window line upwards. No reason for the generic rear taillights, bumper, and trunk line. No reason for the bland side profile. The 8-Series have most of these styling changes and still look better and modern than the old 6-Series. But somehow this was styled to be un-BMW. This looks to me like a styling made for the Chinese market with the hope that it sells elsewhere. |

The same boring and repetitive talking points from the ass brigade in full force.
BMW simply doesn't care what you think. They will sell each and everyone they make. If you lament the new direction don't buy one. Pretty simple really. Hold on to your F32 or whatever. If nostalgia fill your brain there many old BMWs to have in the used market. They are old and dated BMWs after all. Better yet there are other manufacturers that will surely meet your strict demands and expectations. Just move on!

You don’t like their design. That doesn’t mean they “don’t work”

thats exaclty what many said about 6 years ago when the 4 series GC was introduced... Now many of the "haters" are modding the GC. So this will happen again, people will say negative comments, and before you know it they will have a G22 all modded, praissing other for their mods, and they would have forgotten that at one point they were claiming that in this lifetime they would not get the 2021 4 series.

I point and laugh at X4's, X6's, and all GT variants that BMW makes. I will be adding the new 4 series to that list.
Good grief, talk about ugly. Shame really, rear end looks nice. Hurts to think about the upcoming M3/M4. Looks like those of us blessed with vision may need to opt for a used M5 or M8 |

Not my cup of tea at all. Please, for the love of all that’s holy, don’t do any of this dumb shit to the next M2. It’s the only hope we have left for the direction the brand is going.

That doesn’t sound like the best business plan to me, from someone who has had 8 Bimmers previously. Can they replicate that kind of loyalty going forward? With this kind of design and overall approach? My guess is no, but we shall see.
