Saw the G22 in the flesh for the first time
Was at my dealer getting an oil change and they just got fresh deliveries of the G22 today.
My thoughts: - I don't think it looks bad in person. Actually thought it looks pretty decent. That being said, I did see a non m-sport one with a chrome border around the grill and that did not look good at all. - My biggest problem is no longer the grill, it's the sheer length/rear overhang that just makes it look a bit awkward. - I'm not sure if I've just been desensitized to it or what, but it doesn't stand out as much as I thought it would. - Overall I think it looks OK. Definitely not ugly in person, but also not gorgeous. I think if they chopped off about 5 inches from the length, lowered it a bit, and gave it wider fenders - it would actually be a really good looking car.

Here's hoping the LCI comes earlier than usual.

I'm not sure of the dimensions of the upcoming g87, but I do know this 4 series has grown by about 5 inches in length from the f32. As polarizing as the grill might be, the growth in size of this g22 is the thing I truly don't understand.

I stopped by a week ago and here are pictures. I thought it looked good too. I prefer the grill with black surround.
