The emphasis above the wheels and window shape made me think Audi A5 immediately. Nothing about the side surfacing and silhouette says "BMW coupe" to me.
The grill is what it is - and I am not a fan (Sorry Sedan Clan, feel free to add me to your "lists"). The renders looked better but what we have here is just to prominent and upright to be cohesive with the rest of the design. Add in the overly-busy hood and squinty headlamps and that's a no for me dog. Hoping the final version comes out better. |

The new car does give off an A5 vibe, but isn't that somewhat of a good thing? The A5 is a pretty handsome car. I think BMW is late to the gaping-mouth-front-end party. |

But, you've got a point. It's UGLY everywhere. It doesn't look beautiful or sporty in Chicago, China, Chalupa, or Cheshire. What happened to BMW's fabulous designers and balance, like this! Compared to just about EVERY car in the WELT and the Munich Museum, this new 4 Coupe's front end is: Ugly, Ungainly, Unsightly, Unflattering, UnBELIEVABLE. Just :b arf: |

I'm in the minority here, but I like it. Hopefully the production model keeps the overall look and lines.

I love these 35 pages and I know I’m in the minority by liking the design BUT I love to read comments about people thinking a used e30, e36, e46, e90, etc will go up in value (unless it’s a NA M car). At no point would I pass on a new 510hp M3 for a 5yr old, old tech, dated design 444hp M3 because of a grille.

The average customer, like you, might not. But BMW enthusiasts and fans will start seeking E46, E90 and F80 M3s to add to their collection. Switching to AWD ZF8 was bad enough, to put that in this exterior design is just appalling. Maybe they'll gain new average Audi and Lexus customers, but they'll surely lose enthusiasts to other brands such as Porsche, ford and Chevy.

btw, Audi took a cue from BMW and the RS6 has the same front as the RS7 (or at least more in common with the RS7 than the regular A6/S6).

Production version would perhaps less crazy front grills and would have to see what new M4 will looks like. It's nice color..but looks pretty much same as those Mazda CX-5 I see around.

Sure, people want something new and exciting, but they also want something good looking. This M3 is quickly going to gain a rep for being an ugly SOB. In the enthusiast community it already has.

This car is soulless and a haphazard attempt to fit in with the new wave. No regard for taste.

I've shown it to enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts and they both have all said it was horrible. One non-enthusiast specifically said "that's horrible, it doesn't even look like a BMW" so idk who this target market BMW is looking for is but it's no one I know, including myself. I'll get another F80 and hold off for a redesign or move to another brand.
