Time and time again BMW have got the M3/4 design spot on. Seems like yesterday I waited up for the M4 reveal.
Really...I think the last one sucked...hence an M2?

Hey guys...Scott26 just confirmed what my friend in Munich told me. It's secure that M3/4 and 4 series will have a big kidney, the only thing to think about is (looking at what the i series will look like) if it'll be aesthetically pleasing or not. In case of a total failure, of a loss of customers etc, we have to wait other two years right now...and wait for the LCI, as in case of a total sales disaster and critics, they'll remove it going back to a normal pimped up G20.

We have to wait and see, in Frankfurt it won't be presented even under a concept form. What we'll see in two weeks is the normal 4 series concept, but we'll have a clear indication of what this kidney will be.

Let's hope and wait friends...nothing more.

Crazy that it's only a couple weeks away now. I really hope BMW goes all in with the design language and don't just design a normal 4 series and slap giant grilles on it. I think the F30/F32 were boring and already look dated, so I'll take unique-ugly over boring-ugly or plain boring any day.

I actually admire how well he has done at taking the shock & awe out of us leading up to the official reveal. I need to buy that man a drink.....


.....after my vagina recovers.


I'm actually curious about how that conversation went down.

BMW: "Listen SCOTT! We realize that this new look is going to be a game changer; polarizing even. We need you to utilize the trust you've garnered from the enthusiast community and prep them for what's coming to the market. We need their eyes to adjust before this new car is officially revealed. We give you full license to do what you need to do to accomplish that, even if it's force feeding them details of the design. Anal only hurts if you fight against it. Do the Lord's work!"

SCOTT26: "You got it! ...and you can count on me. By the way, should I use a water based lube or petroleum based lube?"

BMW: "Go in deep sans the lube for all we care. Just get it done, and with minimal tearing."

Lol!!!


Honestly though , this design element reminds me of the shark nose.

Are you saying that the solid bumper holding the plate that cuts through the middle of the top and bottom kidneys is most likely not really there? The photos seem to have a clear solid bumper bifurcating the top and bottom grilles. When I saw these photos, I was relieved that we wouldn't have that shitshow rendering shown previously.

Bottom half of the front bumper appears to be non-production materials. Almost like 3D printer plastic.

Most likely a decoy.

I will reserve judgment until I see the finished product in full and see how all the elements come together.

I don't think BMW has produced an ugly M yet, so I am happy to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

So many minds blown right now lol!!! certainly not the big grilles many people were doubling down on but it's still a spy shot in camo .... really hoping this is closer to the final design though. Fingers crossed...

I've been lurking on these spyshot threads since they were started, and I am just about ready to lose it! IAA 2019 is so close yet so far
Man this is horrible. the way that bottom sticks out is just odd. I'm hoping its not real... but if so its enough to make me want to buy out my F80 and not trade into the new G80 at lease end.

If one does not like the grilles, a dark color will hide them.
As long as it has three pedals, I am good, TBH.

A black G80 Pure, 6MT, w/ polarizing grilles =

SCOTT26 described what it will look like in detail. There's no bumper bisecting the grills. The license plate itself will bisect the grill.
