And yes... the M3/M4 grills with the bars look great... even better than the mesh grill on the G22. I plan to install an MPerformance grill on my M440i, until or unless somebody produces a grill more like the M4.

Most of the haters would not buy a coupe even if it was identical to a sedan minus the 2 back doors os they should care less about what the G22 looks like.
Little hypocritical? Nobody can say the 4er's grill looks bad but you boldly state that the 3er has a grill that's cheap and fake?

Nobody is trolling 3 series threads with one-liners saying they hate the grill. After hundreds of these pointless posts, its enough already. Pointing out hypocrisy is not the same as hypocrisy.

Sure it is. The moment you lower yourself to spewing the same insults that you're trying so hard to fight against, you've just become a complete hypocrite. Call a spade a spade. It's freakin car design, not a personal attack.

Not denying some level of hypocrisy on my part... but... just stating an opinion, and doing so. without using personal attack, the vomiting emoji, vitriol, or immaturity of some of the haters, especially those who would never even have a 3er, or most especially a 4er.

They complained about the bloated looks and the cost too and predicted it would be a total failure.

Keep in mind that many of these current "grill whiners" own late model 3 series with, in my opinion, ugly and cheap looking black plastic grills on their own vehicles--it looks like a fake grill. Or M340's with a similar but smaller designed grill except the nuggets are vertical. I think the horizontal nuggets look better but of course, its all subjective. In my opinion, the best looking grill is on the new M3 & M4 and I'll consider replacing with those on my new 4 series if an aftermarket option becomes available.

Now, back to the regular program of one-liner trolls whining about their grill dissatisfaction on a car they have no interest in purchasing...

Totally agree. 3 series grill looks cheap. Full stop.

I cannot agree. Not even a little. The 3 series grill is a good example cohesive, progressive design. As it should be.

To each his own. I don't like it. The 4 has better grill for me.

I have the M340 in Dravit. Never saw it either when I ordered it was a little nervous before seeing it. The color is absolutely WILD. It's literally like 4 colors in 1 depending on the weather (night time, overcast, sunny day, rain, cloudy etc). Never seen anything like it. It goes from powder grey to charcoal grey to a matte black and it just the right sun/cloud combination believe it or not a dark army green kind of color. It has bronze metallic flakes throughout which is what causes the colors to change so dramatically. I get complimented at least once a day from a random pedestrian usually multiple times a day every day. I hope you ordered it with the black rims. If not, call your dealership now and change it!! Enjoy...
I still regret, not getting Dravit gray! Portimao blue is nice, but I've seen too many 330s with it! Hard to stand out.
