Maybe they should keep the wrap on longer.

Once sales come crashing down then BMW will learn. Sad, gimmicky styling doesn’t work.

No different to what Audi has done for years with their plate placement.

Rest of the car is great looking.

You and me both. I'm considering the M8, as you already know, because the new 4 series is a complete turn off for me with that hideous front end.

As much as this would make the most sense, I highly doubt the average consumer would walk-in the show room saying "look at those sculpted wheel arches". They're going to see the front end and either love it or hate it.

Except the Audi grill isn't split in the middle or have a break in design where the plate sits.

That's highly likely......namely a tow hook plate mount option like what has been offered for awhile now.

The mesh part of the grill is at the top.

Personally , this Doesn't look much different from the M340. Yes there is an additional area below but that looks like it's primarily for cooling. Plus they still haven't figured how to get a radar sensor smaller than the size of a grapefruit. The plate in the middle breaks that up.


The bunmerpost render exaggerates the kidneys and has the odd central line. That's not there and the grill slats don't run the full length.

Me thinks they must have created their render with "hints " from @scott26 ...

Not every state requires a front license plate. Can also mount the front plate off to the side via a front bumper tow hook mount.
Alfa threw in a free tow hook license plate mount (Regularly $100) with my friend's vehicle..

I'm assuming BMW will do the same - then they'll also offer a 'lightweight', carbon fiber, M Performance version for $500..

We know the shape and size of the grills.

These grills but with a diamond pattern.

Because the grill is pushed forward compared to how the part in between is, a plate across these kidneys looks more awkward than a grill that was designed with the plate in mind (audi). In the photo the break is much more pronounced and very wide and obvious and will look awkward with a plate stretching horizontally across it.
