First official G22 4 Series view without front license plate

desertfox73 · 06-12-2020, 06:58 PM

For my Texas friends...

10" · 06-12-2020, 07:12 PM

The only car in recent memory that has looked much worse with every additional photo!

Make it stop! LOL

Impact1 · 06-12-2020, 07:35 PM

Just awful. Hope BMW engineers don't drive like they design cars....

They do...

Grill is bad
no kink
body crease is too low

J-RO · 06-12-2020, 07:53 PM

Now I would hope all States enact laws requiring euro looking front plates.

Maybe they will but no one should buy a car hoping that they can spend even more money on an after market improvement.

J-RO · 06-12-2020, 08:03 PM

If BMW was smart they would stop showing us pictures of this car.

I'm praying apple screw up big time on the forthcoming iPhone and save me from upgrading.
Maybe bmw were just trying to save it's customers from the upgrade hassle

cncmastr · 06-12-2020, 08:05 PM

Is it me or does nobody like this car?

Kewl X5 · 06-12-2020, 08:11 PM

I wonder if there is a "lighted grille" option like the current X6...🙄

Oh man, I hope you haven't seen the M3/4 leaks. IMO the treatment of the grilles/front end is worse than this

worst thing is: they know how do it right

Drj161 · 06-12-2020, 08:46 PM

Really unflattering from this angle. Sad, performance wise, it may be way better than the f32, but the design is just sh*t

as an engineer (well a software one) , engineers don't design. They get a design from whoever in product / design green lit it... get asked how long itll take to make .... reply with an incredulous look on their face like "wtf really?" and you say... uh yeah we can do it. Some guy at BMW had to make the stamping or plastic mold for that thing and is drank beers to make the shame go away though.

ghaffari46 · 06-12-2020, 08:49 PM

Look at the bright side: it is pretty handsome from side profile.
A black grill on a black 4 series can be a reasonable covering makeup!

agentrnge · 06-12-2020, 08:55 PM

Nope. Thumbs Down. The video made it look less bad, but every photo confirms it looks like poop. They brought back the stupid broken hood line after correcting it on almost every other model. These grills are gross. And look how much of that giant surface isn't even functional.

Maybe they'll release this as the M440 M Performance M Tech Edition

It's probably actually very helpful to aerodynamics as long as it doesn't interfere with cooling

Still ugly.

Five pages of comments and barely one positive (not bad!) comment.

I hope someone from BMW is reading this to understand the magnitude of the issue here!
