Hopefully, the show is still going. I think I read somewhere they don't want to do the show much longer due to their ages. Well, Captain Slow and Jezza at least.

I already see people commenting: ‘it’s growing on me’ and ‘In real life it looks so much better’. Glad I bought a G20, with kind of ‘normal’ front.

Adris · 05-31-2020, 03:23 PM

I like it..., it will be selling that fast as fresh donuts and I can bet M4 will be most desired car.

I love it! Because finally I am not desperate to buy next gen of M3/4. Saving money. Way to go BMW. Love you guys!

Every radical redesign will inevitably create legions of followers and detractors.

I find myself torn. While the desire to create a highly differentiated design can be understood, the risk of alienating core customers is also a concern. It's just the details of new design don't come together for me.

I still can't picture where the tow hook mounted license plate can be installed.

The license tag (plate) breaks up the grilles, probably only time having one on actually looks better. Otherwise, a pig snout comes to mind

It's not totally different if it's using the same design, though.

Pig snout, buckteeth, butt cheeks....

Can't see anyone who needs a front plate buying this car 🤢

Same. I'm even more mad that the M3 have to display this face too

TorontoGambler · 05-31-2020, 03:36 PM

The majority of disgust seems a lot like the early comments the M340i had in regards to the grill... most of which is gone now. I predict the same here. I don’t mind it... not loving it either but I’d have to see it live and let it grow on me. For the record I was neutral on the M340i front end and now I love it.

paddyrx8 · 05-31-2020, 03:37 PM

Love this car and the new grill. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

floating.spirit · 05-31-2020, 03:37 PM

LOL! 3 whites, 3 grays and 2 blacks. A "sea of ordinary" for sure.

And a snub nose does not make for an icon. Good effort BMW marketing team!

pbar · 05-31-2020, 03:38 PM

Looks like we're gonna need a new icon...

PhizzurpF · 05-31-2020, 03:38 PM

I'm surprised so many here would rather bmw stick with the same design. I think this car will really stand out among its peers, as its a quite aggressive front end.

Pinkoboe · 05-31-2020, 03:39 PM

eww.

SteveChester · 05-31-2020, 03:40 PM

Looks terrible - hope the new M4 is an improvement!

£50 says I still end up buying one though

It will be using the same design. The grille might be bigger and wider but it's still the same shape and concept. A totally different front end means it won't look the same at all. They'll probably just make the grilles wider and lower to make the car look sportier but that's where the differences will end from all the spy shots we've seen.

AdamJ80 · 05-31-2020, 03:47 PM

I love it! I personally like the new face.
