Hey JP, Is the US going to get Citrin Black Metallic as a individual color for this? I will have to replace my current 340i M sport in exactly 25 months

Speak with your wallets and let BMW know what a terrible decision they made...

C'mon guys, what if it has spectacular performance??? Will the sins of the grill be forgiven?

Every time another set of pictures of another new 340 shows up, it looks worse and worse to me. Can only hope their Design Office is on overtime to fix this.

The hate in this one is strong

Grill is no issue. It can be painted black. Eventually they will release the one from factory that is black.
It looks great with black grill

Looks too glossy, maybe more of a matte black?

Well speak for yourself...

If I were in the market, I would not mind this car at all in my driveway.

But would you ever want to take it out of your driveway?

That's a spy shot.

The production M340 will have a different grill.

You can tell it's a photoshop because the front slats are from the Kia and the kidney grill has the Kia diamonds.

You seriously think that front end would get pass an entire design team.

That's a spy shot...

DocB · 04-08-2019, 08:04 PM

The car looks awesome! Ignore all the hate. The "grill is ugly" comments are getting old. If you don't like it, change it or don't buy it. But to say the car is horrendous because of a grill is really ridiculous. To all who bought- ENJOY!

Schmitz · 04-08-2019, 08:05 PM

Aren't grills supposed to allow air to pass through? These look like a single piece of plastic...
