The 4-series designers were probably enamored with Mater in Disney's Cars movie.

With every new photo; it looks worse.

Now it looks like some generic car they've slapped a giant fake BMW grille on thinking it will "make it look like a BMW". How gaudy.

V-Eight · 03-19-2020, 09:21 AM

Don't like it all. Totally disgusted.

I think the other problem is how the front end is pinched. If you want a dramatic fascia, it needs to sit square to the road. For some reason it has a bow tie shape and the bottom of the bumper angles upwards towards the grille.

They probably did it somewhat deliberately, though. I'm assuming they'll offer some MPerformance Lip or other accessories to at least fix that.

Looking great. All the small grilled models will look ridiculously old once we start seeing these on the road.

cc3 · 03-19-2020, 10:48 AM

Every time I see it I think they may have made some improvements but it just looks more ridiculous, who is going to buy this ! Utter pants

GOLFFRR · 03-19-2020, 10:51 AM

COVID-19 is nature's response to these giant lung grilles.

These look much better

Probably laser vs LED lights

Either way, with these DRLs for LED headlights it looks like the cheapest version from halogen times...

Agreed ‼️

You are both far from funny

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 03-19-2020, 01:06 PM

OMG... What the heck is that going to look like without a front plate!

DreaminBMW · 03-19-2020, 01:12 PM

Why on earth wasn't the hoodline taken care of this generation?!?! 🤔

snareman · 03-19-2020, 01:37 PM

Those grills are going to look even more hideous with a big US plate stuck in the middle of them. Good think more states are not requiring them any longer.

While the German plates look better in general, these grills don't look good with any plate (or without, but the plate makes it way worse and yes, taller US plates even worse than, worse...).
