After watching this commercial twice, I am left wondering who the target audience is.
For one of their most important vehicle launches, Mercedes partnered with The Weeknd for this incredible commercial. They proudly showed their pedigree, their achievements and passion people have for their cars. And BMW releases this ad for one of their key vehicles. |

No idea who they are selling to with that 4 series ad? Slacker 20 year olds with a trust fund? Weird |

Haters would hate. I prefer the BMW commercial. Benz commercial is about show off not functionality whilst BMW commercial is about functions. The main reason people buy BMWs

Dumb commercial, from a company that does some of the worst EPS in the industry.

However, it has a bit of an issue in regions that require a front license plate, because it breaks up the grill and looks like a discount covid mask. Without the front plate covering it, I think the grill would look good blended into a dark color. On light colored paint it might look a bit beaver toothed. |

What the hell are BMW doing. Shitty front looks and now promoting steering so good an idiot can drive it. I have little faith in this modern take of the brand. Its as bad as honda forgetting how to make an F1 engine. The only reason we buy bmws are for a solid bavarian motor precise steering with subtle looks. Not many of their cars fit the bill any more. Mercedes has taken over and are dominating in racing and in desirable cars. Oh well the BMW dream is over but it was a great run while it lasted. Sad part is the BMW engine and chassis team seem to still be at the top of their game. The rest of the car is a let down. All that amazing engineering crammed into a toilet.

It’s the evolution of the industry, across the board. The manufacturers, including BMW, need to design products to compete for the younger, less traditional buyers. Subtle is over. It’s always going to be about the profit and a few dozen enthusiasts on this forum aren’t going to a make a major impact the designs or even the LCI.
I’m 68 and I’ve watched it with the Corvette. Corvette traditionalists (average new corvette buyer has been 60+ for many years now) bitched about the loss of round taillights with the C7, and even louder about the mid-engine and the loss of the third pedal in the C8 this year. But, with boomers fading and a new modern design, the age of the Corvette buyers is falling considerably, and sales are off the charts with every 2020 and a substantial portion of the 2021 production pre-sold. I’ve found BMWs to be the perfect sports sedan since the 1980s. I don’t like their SUVs nearly as much as I like my Jeep Grand Cherokee, but BMW had to jump into the SUV business which accounts for about 1/2 of their US sales. I just down understand big expensive sports SUVs from performance manufacturers, but it’s what a lot of people want. Today, I’m looking for a new DD and liking the new M440i coupe a lot. My only issue with the grill is the silver teeth in it. Should have been plain black 1/4 inch diamond mesh, or horizontal bars like the M3/4 are going to have, which actually look pretty cool. It will be an easy mod. |

Still looks terrible and BMW knows it, in a 1 minute and 9-second advert the front of the car is visible for 7 seconds at most.

My recommendation do not order the car until you see it in person first ... The G22/G80/G82 have been very controversial cars ... But most people who saw them in person ended up liking them a lot. I'm sure you will like the G22 too ... it is growing on everybody and his friend

I saw one in person this week and I will say the grill doesn't look as big in person as it does in photos.

I just got mine last Friday and in person, it looks very similar and every bit as attractive as the F32. Nobody, including me, notices the grill--it doesn't stand out the way it does in pictures and given the Lexus & Audi huge grills, it pales in comparison.
I have had to ask every person I've shown what they think about the grill and they all say the same thing..."it looks good/cool/really nice" and asked whether they think its too big or ugly the answer is "no." I get why people on here don't like it, especially in the pictures but I suspect that once people see it in person they won't be so opposed to it. But there will always people who hate new innovations and design, or who are loyalists to old performance measures. |
