Leaked G80 M3 / G82 M4 / G22 4 Series grille picture!

Drv4fun · 10-23-2019, 12:35 PM

That makes me want to sell my E92 and steer clear of BMW completely. I am embarrassed to have owned BMWs that thing is ugly.

I'll never understand this. How does this change your E92?

So the BMW grill memes ended up being true

doberzus · 10-23-2019, 12:37 PM

That looks gorgeous! I love it. Can't wait to replace the X3M with one of these. Wish the grilles were a tad bit bigger but these will do, I guess.

Wow. It's hideous. This must be a wind up by BMW? General feedback is very negative on this thread. Surely BMW can see this is a pig.

I was excited about the prospect of buying a G80 M3, but so far having seen these images I don't care how good dynamically the car is, I couldn't spend my money on that.

The car can stick to the corners like an F1 car and the motor can be under advertised by 100 hp, it's still an ugly design.

It's like the advice I got at an early age with women, never make a decision by how dolled up she can be, it's when you roll over in the morning that if she takes your breath away, that's the woman for you.

In this case, there isn't enough lipstick that this pig can wear that I would want to see it everyday in my garage.

BMW has to deliver to the tastes of the non-Western market. Big, bold, and brash sells cars in those markets which are more important now.

Where is your list of non believers?

Most of the non-believers got real quiet after the concept was unveiled. More recently members like antzcrashing still didn't believe. I'm sure this is the nail in the coffin for the holdouts.

I am starting to like it. Still waiting for official pic showing full front for final judgement but I think it looks good so far.

sjak92 · 10-23-2019, 12:45 PM

Where will the number plate go on Euro Spec cars? Across the middle like an Audi? My fuck what where they thinking

What you guys don't understand that grill only goes on the M3 w manual. The Pure for America, its the mercan car yo.

We don't worry either because that car will be too expensive for the UK, so won't come here. Everyone is about to lose their jobs and house prices will drop with hefty rise in interest and mortgage rates.

Farmers will be extinct. They voted for it, they will live from I suppose sea water and air. LOL

Trump is so much better when you compare him to his pet bojo lol.

Yes indeed!

The garish, in your face design is reflective of BMW's new target market.

AKA - What to do when your vehicle doesn't stand out based on performance...

+1 I see it as well.. ..... I think this is an attempt to go back to the shark nose days... And to be honest... when we see the final version... if the grille didn't exactly extend down to the bottom of the bumper. ala Audi.....and Lexus.... it would be accepted..

amw896 · 10-23-2019, 12:52 PM

I was reading that the last time BMW used a massive grill like this, they nearly went bankrupt....Who in their right mind would think it's time to go back to that style?

itsTwigs · 10-23-2019, 12:52 PM

I think the Bimmerpost impression looks better personally. I didn't like the new 1 series until I overtook one this morning and it looked better in reality. On that basis I'll reserve final judgement until I see it in the 'flesh'.

Until then I'm imagining what it might be like ordering one in Angry Birds green

mikerx5 · 10-23-2019, 01:00 PM

Safe to say black will be a popular color - only way to hide this.

allies_jh · 10-23-2019, 01:01 PM

I'm should start designing replacement bumpers with smaller grills for this car. Everyone would want one! Lol

Seriously if I cannot efford a 911 it will be a M5 Comp. Such is life.
