4 Series grilles as seen through prototype camouflage

Gdiddy23 · 09-17-2019, 01:06 PM

Still wondering how they will incorporate the front license plate on this. I also have to admit it's been growing on me. Doesn't matter that much though since I'll most likely be getting the G20 M340i here in the next month or two anyways.

Has everybody got over it now? It has been 7 days....

'Grillegate' it's was soooo first week of September.

Looking forward to seed the new 4 fully revealed. Still very much on the radar for me

Just stop before it's too late BMW!!!!!!!!

Fugly M3 · 09-17-2019, 01:12 PM

not quite as large as the concept...this could be very good!

J-RO · 09-17-2019, 01:15 PM

Drifter X must have x-ray vision. Having said that, the grille of the 2020 M135i looks OK on that vehicle. How it would translate to the 4 series remains to be seen. The key for me is how far down the front of the vehicle it extends.

Im not a biggest fan of the concept, but the grill looked better in real life. Photos from the news are made on wide lenses so it looks much bigger. Here is a pic I got from the front with narrower iPhone lens. Also somebody here asked about license plate, there is actually one on the concept already.

Not you too!!!!

It has grown on me. Do I think it's necessarily great looking? No! ...but I do like it more today than I did initially, and I appreciate its boldness.

What did you think of the car overall having seen it in person?

Jumping off of the Empire State Building is also something very bold.

Is it the best decision? Probably not.

Lol!....with a hang glider it could be fun. Ask the base jumpers.

The English Guy · 09-17-2019, 01:48 PM

Still crap. What a wasted opportunity. Personally I think this will look terrible with the front number plate we are obliged to have.

Been a die hard BMW fan for a long time and thought it just got better and better, but this one just seems like a period of cars I need to skip.

Love every angle of the Concept4 except the grill. It actually looks like one of the meme jokes online to be honest

Headlights, tails and roofline is stunning though

I actually liked it even from the early renders.
No worries, people will love it, if not initially , eventually they will.
Tell Bmw to do more. We need better suspension, better sound, hydrolic like steering, and of course beautiful styles inside and out, and stop raising prices. We pretty much expect them to go above and beyond every year for every model and every customer

TodmordenLad · 09-17-2019, 02:24 PM

it reminds me of the Jaguar XF's front end - a car which I've never liked much, tbh

Really .. do you expect better sound? We can see that as years pass , the sound is sucks day by day ! At least they have engines 🤣

JMcQueen · 09-17-2019, 02:29 PM

I thought of the jaguar too.

Really not liking the concept. I've had two f32s and was planning on getting an m4 once the new body came out but now I'm looking at E46 m3s or maybe a z4m coupe and keep my current car.
