It's really interesting to me how BMW would think that was a nice grill..I'm all for trying new things but clearly the response is overwhelmingly negative

Yeah. Now, in addition to the size, we have fake grills, no need for air intake at that location. I've always disliked these type fake air intakes and now it is the most prominent part of the G20...

No 3 pedal models will be offered on the M340i.
That's what I was getting at with my reply to his post.

It is so stupid for BMW to put fake exhaust on its M340i when Audi S4/S5 and C43 AMG all have Quad exhausts (real exhausts)

What do you mean by fake? As far as I know it's fully functioning both sides.....

It's not only for air intake, the grill will open to bring fresh air to the radiator to cool down the engine...the issue I see here is that grill will get stuck during the winter. On my car I can have ice on my grill for weeks during the winter...are they going to introduce heated grill

So when you guys say fake exhaust - does that mean it is like an exhaust tip, and the actual exhaust ends inside it (or just behind it)?

I hate to agree but BMW tried to hard to differentiate the M340i from the m-sport 330i.

I was at the Montreal auto show and I couldn't stop thinking if only the M340i would have the front fascia of the 330i. That strange looking grill actually FELT like plastic ! Also what's with the lack of fog lights that look quite good on the 330i?

Nonetheless I'm hopeful that BMW can still make last minutes changes to it or people will order the grill from the 330i and fit it in the M340i.

Ditching the horizontal lines in the grill was a bad idea.
Terrible decision.
That was a classy & beautiful BMW signature.

That in top of the outrageous design of the grill.

Don't get these guys; it seems that everything they do is to blend in with all the mediocre designers out there...

What do you mean by fake? As far as I know it's fully functioning both sides.....
I mean it is faking itself as a flat rectangular big exhaust opening while it is actually just a small rounded pipe hiding inside.

Trust me it could be worse. We sadly live in a world where automakers will make a fake exhaust tip that looks incredibly cheap on cars that can cost up to $100k rather than just making the bumper clean with no design/fake tips at all, lets just be glad that its actually connected to the physical exhaust pipe, and that its not just a piece of black plastic like the SQ5 seen in the photo, who's real exhaust pipe is under the car.

I know Q5 is much worse. But it doesn't bmw should adopt this. Bmw is supposed to represent performance and driving experience. And they put real one on 330i and fake one on m340 where q5 and sq5 are both 100% fake. Doesn't make any sense. I thought more powerful model get realer exhaust
