Agreed, I was holding out hope for the new M3/M4 but when they pulled the trigger on the ugly grill I jumped ship. I got a 2020 RS3. Im gonna wait to see if LCI corrects this buck- toothed beaver.
An RS3 and you're still here. I take it the grills aren't big enough on the BMW so you had to go bigger? :
Audi knows how to do big grills properly though.
Back 15 years ago when they started it on the A8 wasn't a good look. You're telling me that when their first model came out, you were fan? It hasn't grown on you at all?

I actually did like the Audi grills when they came out on the A6,8 and Q7. Hell I didn't even mind the first iteration of spindle grills on the GS and ES when they came out before they went a little crazy, and I also loved the E60 and E65LCI as well as the X7 when they came out. So I surprisingly like controversial designs, just not this one. The X5, 2GC, 7LCI, 1er, and now this 4er have not grown on me one bit.

Its probably optional on the 416d too knowing how much BMW loves to dilute M.

A mono-grill design is very different from a design perspective as is much more forgivable and less pretentious. The reiteration of a mono-grill can be seen in almost all other cars with different interpretations, from elegant, to classic or sporty. Mercedes, Aston, Audi, etc, etc. Depends on the shape too as the shape and form can induce other variations that can go to ugly too.

Playing with the double grill like BMW can be very tricky, and as we can see, can go into grotesque as well...

BMW should have kept a nice classic proportions and play with a 3D depth and other tools to make it modern and desirable...

You can actually black it out even more by colouring those nuggets in the grill.

That’s my plan. The M Performance grill does exactly that but adds a carbon surround so it’s probably a little pricey.

carbon fiber with black exterior

Does anyone have pictures of the m440i or the m340i with black exterior with carbon fiber parts? I would like to see how they look on the black cars and if it is noticeable at all. Thanks
