Edit: You're in Canton, MI! I used to live in Ann Arbor, MI when I worked for GM in the tranmission controls. Loved the area, but hated those brutal MI winters (TX native).

Yes, BMW's ICE and EV aesthetic will diverge and go in separate directions. That is why I say the 4 Series grill will probably not look just like the i4 grill. However, at this early stage of evolution, there will be more similarities than differences. If we look at the iX3 - the very first CLAR-WE-based electric BMW - it is very similar to the X3. Indeed the grill, if it follows the iX3 concept, will be different from the X3's, but it will be similar in proportion. As the second EV to derive from an ICE product, the i4 will likely differ in similar ways from the 4 Series, though we may see a bit more distinction.

I truly doubt BMW will follow the front end design that the OP has posted. BMW M vehicles had a 27.2% increase in sales throughout the world two full years ahead of their milestone schedule. They already know people on the forum hate this big grill theme, so they will not risk messing up the new M3/M4 front end.
When you look at the past, you can somewhat predict the future. The M3’s design themes were always an evolution, not revolution. Let's find out this September in Frankfurt.

Officially, maybe. But the concept will be out soon and that's basically the exact car minus a few things here and there. It will be good enough to know if u like it or not put it that way.

Doubt it, I for example applaud Lexus for dumping their generic, one foot in the grave designs when they went for the large controversial grill. I loved Bangles cars especially the E60 M5 and so on. Just bring it on as long as it ain’t stale, lazy and boring

Has been covered before... that's an older mule from the beginning of testing obviously they are still using it (we don't really know what each individual mule is for)
