This is a very dangerous game BMW is playing by over disguising their cars. They could lose prospective buyers real fast, especially with Grill-gate going on with the X7 and 7 series.

Look at the marked areas. Clearly something added to the nose.
You can see past the camo cladding. Look though the mesh, see the black outline of the tall kidneys. The grills are so large they are bisected by the license plate area. They also have horizontal slats, which is another major change. The render is horribly done, but it gets to the core of what is coming. Considered the forum has been warned.

It does look aggressive but that's about it. Hard to find an emotional connection.
I'll just keep my E92 for another 10 yrs then...

I absolutely dislike it.

So glad I got into an F82 before this happens.

( yes, it's a manual )

No he likes to completely whore it out most of the time.

It's rare he only posts one picture actually.

Yeah, but the overwhelming majority wasn't hating on it right off the bat.

I don't know what's worse. It almost looks like BMW is overcompensating for Elon Musk not putting any grills on the Teslas.

That is properly scary grill. Really hope it is not going to look like that on production model. As someone has already said, just make it look like baby M8 and everyone will love it.

After the new 1 series, they should have fired their whole designer team and sent their head designer to the Gulag. Now this is what happens.

Okay, my take on the grille is that it has potential, but it NEEDS to be 2 horizontal slats shorter from the bottom. Having it go so far to the bottom WILL make it look like an Audi grille from a distance or when not wearing one's eye glasses. Cover up the last 2 slats at the bottom with your finger and look again. It could look great like this. G20 tail lights are still boring, but that's old news by now. Gonna have to wait until LCI for something more exciting.

I just can't see them making this drastic of a change! The back is awesome as well as those fender vents. But that grill....kinda like a Kia Stinger

If that is supposedly a close rendering of the upcoming M3 I possibly have an idea of who designed it, this dude...

I think it looks like a pig as well. The Concept car was so pretty and they ruined it!
