I'm in the camp that thinks big grills add something to the table.
Matter of fact, for me: Lexus (RC/GS) > BMW (4Series leak) > BMW (X7/7Series) > Audi Every time I see an F/F-Sport Lexus I can't help but think how aggressive it looks. Audis look tame in comparison. This 4Series leak looks good to me and the G80 will look just that much better. I'm pumped! |

Its been a week for me to digest this front end and it has not grown on me one bit. This model will cause a shift with loyal customers switching to other brands more than ever. BMW's never had the best interiors, its driving dynamics were good but wasn't always class leading like they once were but what it had was unique exterior styling that kept loyal customers to keep coming back. A nice blend of luxury with aggressiveness that made them different from MB or Audi.
This new model just strays way way far from what loyalist have grown to love about the brand. To me its flat out trying too hard and the end result is a UGLY front end. Alan

I am curious if that braket in front is actually for the license plate or to protect in shipping.
If that bracket is the size of a euro plate that would make the plate enormous... if that is the plate bracket the perspective of the photo is somewhat exaggerating the width of the grills. Same thing with the concept car. I cant form a judgement until i see proper photos with the whole design together |

This car would need to be Nissan Murano convertible-levels of bad for me to turn it down. I'm extremely eager to enjoy all of the new G20 tech (particularly, Driver Assistance Pro) in a coupe form factor.
BMWs are fashion items with excellent brand equity - distinctiveness sells. I am confident this will be a sales hit. |

Quality... that's debatable, as most stuff is from the VAG parts bin. Audi in the UK doesn't have the best quality/reliability record. I'd put BMW and Audi on a similar level for reliability. |

My colleague came through today to my room. He is looking to buy a new car. He knows im a bmw guy. His current car is a toyota auris. He was excited clutching a pic of the 4 series and raved about how beautiful it was and that he was buying it. I managed to conceal my shock.
So this car is 'appealing' to non bmw guys and 'appalling' to bmw guys. |

This is a brilliant idea!
With sales numbers going up Bimmer are every where... Question:So how to make the brand exclusive again? Solution: Easy! Make a car so ugly no one is going to buy it!

I really used to love the bimmers but slowly, many small disappointments are pushing me away, and the design is one of the elements that I really don't like. This grill, is a no no for me. |

You know, not everyone is a consumer... Some of us are enthusiasts, hence we are passionate about this brand, so we share how we feel about this. For many of us , a car is an extension of our personality, an emotional choice... I understand that not everyone is the same. But, please, enlighten us, on a thread about a front grille design, what should we talk about? What we had for breakfast? |
