Nice!

Next up: M4

upsidedownfunnel · 06-02-2020, 02:24 PM

The side looks so much better without the side vents.

yoslow · 06-02-2020, 02:32 PM

Here's what the g22 could of looked like without the bottom half of the grill

LemonOne · 06-02-2020, 02:41 PM

I don't know, I'm liking the new grill.

Drew10 · 06-02-2020, 02:48 PM

Weird. The grills do not look that objectionable on video. It would be interesting to see the design ideas for the grills that were rejected.

Nativetexan · 06-02-2020, 02:53 PM

It looks great. I'm pumped for a G80 now.

jstnstr · 06-02-2020, 02:55 PM

I really need to see what the NA market front end looks like without the euro front plate. That said it looks a lot better here than in the release pictures... strange.

Hmmm maybe people will utilize a tow hook license plate holder?

IB M · 06-02-2020, 03:23 PM

I'm cheering for you BMW, Klaus and the new 4! I'm still not a fan of the grill though.

Roch M4 · 06-02-2020, 03:34 PM

So basically I just need to replace the front bumber of F82 with a G22 bumper and grill and I will get a G82

Germanauto · 06-02-2020, 04:02 PM

It looks truly stupid in the flesh.

With a black grille in a dark colour...maybe liveable? Feel dirty saying this but I think we’re gonna get used to it.

Bumpinjeep · 06-02-2020, 04:18 PM

Now that there's video of the thing, i think it looks MUCH better than initially. The front i mean. The sides and rear look too much like a Infiniti. The regular 3 series coupe and 4 series has always looked less aggressive, more subtle, and a little too soft and feminine for my tastes. This car does have a more aggressive front facia. Reminds me of the new e class coupe. Just take that ///M off the side of the car though.

Sedan_Clan · 06-02-2020, 04:43 PM

I actually think it looks good in motion.

Bosozoku · 06-02-2020, 04:49 PM

Looks so much better without the chrome grille surrounds.

psuibmw · 06-02-2020, 04:51 PM

We need to investigate if one of those BMW execs has a grill factory

His business is booming

Couldn't quite put my finger on which car that side profile reminds me of but you hit it right on the hid. Definitely Infiniti.

The car looks amazing. This is going to be a best seller.
