- Spyshots indicate that the cruise radar will be sitting in between the two lower halves of the kidney grilles

- Even though the taillights design might well be closer to the 8er than to the 3er (similar wave in the light signature), the back end itself maintains the 'sedan rear' of the previous 4er (licence plate on trunklid), meanwhile all the latest BMW coupés (8er, X4, X6...) have been adopting a new 'coupé rear' (licence plate moved down to the bumper, cleaning up the trunklid for only the taillights, roundel and badges). It is surprising the 4er does not follow the new coupé rear design.

From photos (including that one) the radar cruise looks to be offset, just look at the line of fasteners

Check out pic 13 in the new article from Motor Authority. https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...py-shots-video You can see the hexagonal grills down through the hole where the radar is in the lower bumper. Might be an illusion but seems pretty clear to me. Anyone in denial that the grills are larger and more vertical, this should pretty much seal the deal for u now. Sleep tight.

bobloblaw · 08-26-2019, 05:16 PM

So is the grille gonna be two distinct pieces like the renders on the first page, two sorta distinct pieces connected by a piece of trim like the 3er, M2, and 8er, or one giant piece like the iX3 and i Vision Dynamics?

After the F40 has disappointed me, it probably now does the G22 and my wife does not get a new car and retains her F48. BMW why?

J-RO · 08-27-2019, 07:10 AM

In the renderings, from top to bottom, how long (in inches) do you think the grilles are? Is Scott 26 allowed to answer this question?

thaalrasha · 08-27-2019, 07:52 AM

Why people aren't seen something more like the standard M pack bumper style vs thinking the grill is a single piece from top to bottom ? I think it's just a big grill with a standard M bumper / splitter and camo is just mto mess with people making it think it's a single vertical piece ... At least I really hope so, the renders show it's so f ugly as is ...

WXdrivefun · 08-27-2019, 08:29 AM

If the radar cruise was at the bottom center that would be aesthetically better, otherwise skip the Adaptive cruise on option.
Another note, why 435i? Seems that the new four series will use same engine family from the X1 and X2 series motors.. transverse vs vertically mounted 4 cylinder?

Finally, since when does M-sport model have 4 rear diffuser fins as stock? Usually they are no fins and need add M-performance parts to obtain that look.

Looks like the sedan version of the G80 > G22, without adaptive cruise.

Agreed.

It looks absolutely fantastic without that cut line on the nose.

^^^ if it looks like that or close to it, theyve got a winner. no need to take the grills on steroids like some renders, just make it classy and sporty.

They'll make a one-off of it and sell it for a million bucks at Pebble Beach and everyone (myself included lol) will be like 'Why don't they just make this the new design language???'

Colinv6 · 08-28-2019, 02:47 AM

Yeah that white concept above looks so good!

gatorfast · 08-28-2019, 04:20 PM

Check out these new M3 mule pics from Jalopnik. They reveal more of the grill.

One of the ones they cleaned up was a picture of a red BMW with a different big black grille. Maybe they know something!

The grills might be larger, but they will look perfectly fine and classy in final form.
