Would have been better if he had taken pics of the car rather than the parking lot.

Guess he did not use the zoom feature.

....but it won't!

The grills might be larger, but they will look perfectly fine and classy in final form.

I don't know that classy is the intended response BMW is hoping to garner. They want bold and striking, not classy and refined. Those days are over.

Indeed. No expectation of privacy in a public place.

I stand corrected😂

Ok,lets put it this way....obviusly for some members is hard to understand the situation..3 camuflaged cars arrived to the parking in front of the hotel...parking is probably private...so the pics could be taken only from distance in public place..i hope this solves the problem..

That looks like a public sidewalk considering it's right next to a public thoroughfare. I could be wrong........but it's unlikely that I am.

The mountain looks nice.

I quite like the composition of the clouds as well.

The big grill lovers are just upset because the grill looks small in that photo as well.

So I've been driving straight through Bavaria today, met some things on M:IA plates! Drove behind a G20 M3 test mule for a short piece of the Autobahn which was interesting, also a Supra on BMW plates for some reason?

Later on I've met what was really quite obviously an 8er Convertible, looking at it from the front and driving next to it there really was no mistaking it. I was confused why it was in camouflage, with the entire rear heavily obscured, and wondered whether it could be an M8 Convertible in testing. Sticking to the the thing and staring at it for a long while at some point it struck me how small the thing was, and that it was missing the long butt of the 8er, and that I've actually been annoying the test driver of a 4er for the last 10 minutes

It really, really looks like a baby 8er currently.

I hope you're correct.

That's what I want - a smaller 8er ragtop at 4er prices - but without an over-sized snout.

Word! I'm coming to the point now where I'm ready to see modded snout nosed BMW's running around or threads titled, "IND's Velociraptor Green snout nosed ///M4 build [nicknamed Bowser] with pics".

Is Scott 26 backing off? This is what he posted regarding the M3 grille.
