And this is actually a better look at the wing canards than the latest camouflaged pictures posted by Jason. Seems they are part of M-Sport not necessarily an M Performance addition.

I think the quarantine may have effected your eyesight.

Yeah no. Could also be Stockholm syndrome.

It was ugly then and still is. Seems like nothing has changed.

I'm very interested to see if the masses are turned off by the grille as much as everyone here is. I doubt they will be but it should be interesting.

My bad. The grills are the same size. The car just got bigger around them.

Imagine putting a front plate on any BMW?

So, took a break from giving the new grille design shit, since I was even tired of listening to my crap.

Decided to come back with fresh eyes and give her another chance. Well, I never fu***** learn. Still ugly, still "hey, look at me!!!!," and very much is still completely silly.

It's the Jersey Shore of the BMW lineup.

I think the target market will likely opt to get the LED grilles with this car also. Seems about right.

It's the happiest Audi ever.

On a serious note I absolutely hate the fussiness of that bottom grille line.

Actually looks better with the Audi logo, euro plate and the non kidney shape.

The reason they look better is because the spy shot in the garage was taken with a short focal length close up to the car (i.e. a smartphone camera too close). This gives a distorted view of the car. That's why professional photographers use a long focal length (zoomed in lens) and shoot the car from far away. This gives a far more proportional view of the car.

How the car looks in camo is how it will look in real life, which really is better than that garage spy shot someone probably got fired for taking.

Please someone re-design this.

BMW will just keep on saying "It's okay. Customers will get used to it".
Just because of previous experiences of myself getting used to some designs, I cannot say I am 100% sure I won't get used to this design.
But I can at least say, this time for sure, that the chance is very very close to 100% that I won't get used to this design.

I mean, I wouldn't even buy this car on Gran Turismo even though the front wouldn't show during the game lol
