I'm so embarrassed for BMW. This is way worse than I expected. However, it's strange to me that the Audi grill is also big but somehow looks good to me. Is it just because I'm not used to it or is the double massive grill just hideous?

I don't think the problem is the size. The problem is the shape.

Somebody needs to put metal buckets over the design team's heads and give them a good hard whack with a broom handle. First they pooched the ridiculously overpriced and boring-styled 8 series, and now this. Are they going to ruin the 3 series next??

Probably, I haven't googled to see. Given this model isn't out until the fall, if nothing available now, I would hazard a guess there will be in 5 months

Side note - after my first ED I was waiting for my custom plates to come in which were the same numbers as my ED plates so I drove around (the US) with my Euro plates on for a month with the paper the DMV sends you in the window as I was supposed to have. Must not have been in front of a cop the whole month.

I've also never had an issue (in CA) with my lack of front plate for 6 years now. *knock on wood*

It actually looks pretty good without the front plate.

BMW designer team is simply laughable at this time. They just can't pass a certain childish level. I mean, to slap a big grille on an existing design like the 7-series or the X5, without rethinking the entire design around that crucial change, it's just incredibly childish.

Wow, really does not look great without a plate. And also does not look good with the US plate. Definitely disappointing. And I was actually digging the design with the euro plate. Great design shouldn't have asterisks.

Thanks for doing the rendering. I have a few totally picky suggestions:
Florida actually doesnt require front plates, choose one that does (I warned you that they were picky) Can you add a plate holder like most us buyers opt for Can you show one with the plate offset downward from center, my feeling is that the brackets may be offset down Thanks for considering |
