Real life pics of production G22 4 Series spotted

nicky dj · 06-08-2020, 01:46 PM

Wow the base entry models look like GARBAGE!

It's Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper side-by-side.

SteveChester · 06-08-2020, 01:46 PM

They have taken a massive gamble on this one!

Andrew · 06-08-2020, 01:49 PM

Don't need to make radical changes. Just make something look rad.

creativ101 · 06-08-2020, 01:52 PM

Oh no.... what in gods name have they done?!?!?!? Someone at bmw probably looking for another job. Hopefully not in a design dept.

bluemark · 06-08-2020, 01:53 PM

EPIC FAIL!

Germanauto · 06-08-2020, 01:53 PM

It looks even shittier now.

Doesn't matter the trim: base, M sport, M; it does not work one bit.

We've seen BMW do different shapes and sizes of kidneys over the years, and some concept cars have had bigger grilles too and looked great. The execution here is just astoundingly bad and clearly designed by committee.

spuntyb · 06-08-2020, 01:54 PM

I hate it more now

535i MSport · 06-08-2020, 01:54 PM

They look worse.

Hideous.

I really think that they have fcuked up.

Ice M4n_f82 · 06-08-2020, 01:57 PM

Thought maybe the pictures of the car didn't do it justice and it might look good in person. What I didn't expect is that it could actually get worse in person.

Literally the worst design I have ever seen. Nissan Juke level fuck up on the front end here BMW

Don't talk about the Juke like that!

Maybe the Pontiac Aztec

Frank_NJ · 06-08-2020, 01:59 PM

Maybe they will correct it in the LCI which they should do now.

bluemark · 06-08-2020, 02:00 PM

There is no way it had a peer review done before it hit the road for manufacturing. I always thought the Pontiac Aztec was the ugliest car ever designed. We have a contender!

am3r1ka · 06-08-2020, 02:01 PM

Quick glance and I thought it was an Alfa

Loma · 06-08-2020, 02:05 PM

No, no, no... whatever the color, whatever the trim just NO!

PRUVEIT · 06-08-2020, 02:06 PM

Dang...

It's not a Bangle Butt, but what is it...

azuritschwarz · 06-08-2020, 02:06 PM

Wow. We all knew it was bad but come on. The lower end models look simply atrocious, & considering how good the F3x looked in white, this is just abysmal!!

Huge risk, not worth the potential reward. They segregated the market too much with this type of styling.

535i MSport · 06-08-2020, 02:07 PM

Why would they take such a risk?

White340 · 06-08-2020, 02:08 PM

It hasn't grown on me at all. It gets worse every day I look at it.

vincechase · 06-08-2020, 02:10 PM

Really disappointed they did this to the G 4 series man. I was looking forward to getting one but glad I got this g20 330 M sport. Wayyyyyyyy better looking.
