I think the project has to be approved by the board of directors as it happens in all the companies in the world.
There is a family that controls BMW (..Klatten/Quandts own half of BMW).

As BMW is a company and not an OPC, there is a board that approves the projects.

While there are shareholders, the family owns 50% of the company and are the heirs. Nothing happens without the family's approval. It's not just some CEO making unilateral decisions as previously asserted.

Unless something changed since late 2019, I'm fairly up to date.

Nonetheless, back to the original topic.

What changes between CEO or main shareholder? It is not the fault of the designer, but who approves the project above him. Whoever it is.

Fairly up to date being the operative words.

I wonder if it will look better with a Cerium grille or a black grille when paired with Tanzanite honestly.
I tend to prefer Cerium for Tanzanite because it contrasts with the colour a little better in my opinion.

I'm leaning towards blacked out + carbon fiber mirror caps + carbon fiber trunk spoiler.

First post, but have been following for a while. Will have to see this in person. I've had my eye on a 4 series for a while and this was going to be the year and now I'm at a stand still. If this looks bad in person I'll be on the hunt for an F82 that matches what I would have ordered. Mixed feelings at the moment, but the shadowline trim unfortunately feels required. Not exactly how you want to feel about a purchase this size.

I agree. That’s what I went for.

If you guys think the car is beautiful, take i account that 90% of the times you will be seeing standard 420d's like those, not that fancy m440i

I thought the current 4 series coupe is too long this thing is the size of a boat...just getting way to big.
Hope they don't make the next M2 any longer than current.

Sadly things will likely end up that way. I have a feeling the next 2er will be close in size and weight to the F22.
