Getting my popcorn ready for 10 pages of funny jokes about the grills and people arguing over the looks

Bmdubyou · 07-09-2020, 05:39 PM

Having to put a front plate on it definitely makes that grille look extra ugly...

cstavaru · 07-09-2020, 05:40 PM

I definitely wouldn't want to be seen in one...

elinstylez · 07-09-2020, 05:44 PM

The more we see the car the more we get used to the ugliness?

wdskukm3 · 07-09-2020, 05:45 PM

Well you guys can like it or not. It's here and it's real.. We gotta live with it.

OG///M · 07-09-2020, 05:48 PM

Waiting to see who will buy this car and proudly proclaim it's a beauty.

Even though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there ARE general standards.

Saying this looks good is kind of like saying the Fiat Multipla or PT Cruiser looks good and all I can say to that is, I'm happy you think it looks good.

Have to say, compare to this, G8x lung grills does look better. Not by much but better.

That's the essence of it. Had they formed that larger grill with more finesse and lost that hood line, the new colors and lines would have made it wonderful.

So if this... thing is 'spotted' in the wild, does a man make a sound?

Vom D-O-double G

nathanm4 · 07-09-2020, 05:59 PM

I like the front design but the rest of the car just reminds me a lot of outgoing 4 series. I hope 2nd gen M4 will be significantly different than F8X both design and driving.

As a participant in the bad jokes dept. I sadly have to agree. Lol

Eddien123 · 07-09-2020, 06:02 PM

Uggggggly

12CTCT12 · 07-09-2020, 06:05 PM

Wow that's close to the curb.....

Al Pinã · 07-09-2020, 06:08 PM

Give it 2 years and all the whining naysayers will be in love.

aaghajanians · 07-09-2020, 06:11 PM

Like many of members here I don't like the front grill, however I have a feeling that IND or some other company would make a replacement bumper cover for the cars (both m3 and m4 and even maybe the regular 4).

I would be ok to pay 1000-1500 to replace the bumper cover if everything else is as good as they are saying it is.

Don't confuse 'love' with regretful acceptance

It's always cute watching people who spent money on a sub-par product coming to its defense. I've seen a couple groups of 3-series owners who do this, but won't go there in this thread.

Kingmarkeith · 07-09-2020, 06:26 PM

Damn that front end is ugly. That's a pass.

MightyMouseTech · 07-09-2020, 06:33 PM

Wow. Just terrible.

M2PDX · 07-09-2020, 06:35 PM

Geeeezzz.....

It's even more dreadful and hideous in person.

Ugh
