You certainly are entitled to yours, but think about whether you want this thing to look like the crazy comments on twitter and beneath every Yahoo news article.
You have to realize the moderators keep the same threads alive on the front page.

It's not clear just how well this new grill design will be excepted.

Clearly a grip of people aren't liking what they see.

Yup sorry , that's hideous . No way will I be buying this generation M car . General public will eat this up ... of that I have no doubt. But diehard BMW fans & M enthusiasts , will be leaving in the bunches . 911/Vettes here I come . How in the hell did these morons become chief designers at BMW is beyond me . I'm astonished honestly ... And it's not like this car will have super crazy performance for the money , like certain american sports car .So even that you can't use as a positive to purchase this vehicle.

The overall car is so NON BMW looking in styling. So generic.

No wonder they have to add that absurdly ugly grille to remind everyone "B M W".

What a shame on all fronts

I would enjoy seeing the 4-series concept on the road. Unfortunately I don't think the end result will look anything like the concept. But interested to see the result.

Pretty funny you mention that, it reminds me of the time Porsche released their own "spy-shots" of the refreshed Macan and they literally put it in staged photoshoots, the exact opposite of what a spy shot is.

You do know many "spy shots" are done in coordination with car companies right?

That's the industry side of things...

It's cute that you thought spy shots are all real spy shots. They are sometimes but mostly not

I know, but these ones were posted by Porsche themselves, not a magazine or online source, it was a failed attempt at making it at least look like a "proper" spy shot.

I don't know why we bother looking at BMW interior spy shots anymore, the entire range is identical interior wise. It doesn't change no matter how much money you spend on the inside... Regular 3 series - 8 Series. Interior is the same design with a slightly different seat design and 'crystal' shifter, because that makes it all okay.

Plus, this generic steering wheel that they're forcing on every car in the range, even the M cars, is boring looking and too chunky. What happened to the engineers and designers of the F30/F80 I bet the M3/M4 doesn't get a different style steering wheel... All becoming very generic

I like the M340 / M440 interiors better than the outgoing generation, but would agree that the outgoing exterior looks better.

Still, considering it's the interior that I'll have to deal with most of the time, I'd weight the importance 70/30 in favor of the interior and performance over the exterior looks.

Hopefully this means we'll be getting the full press release in the next week or two.

BMW’s interior design is really lacking. So boring.

I can't even fathom WTF they were thinking with that mess of a grille. Off center cruise control radar, active shutters on top, break in middle for a euro plate (how bad is US plate going to look too?), and just general ugly lines of the thing. insanely bad.

Well, if I was a betting man, the US plates will make it look like s***. I'm just guessing, but a small rectangle in the middle of large funky polygon? Nope.

(Being sarcastic) This is stochastic geometry...
