Much better, like that this color looks great offering sufficient contrast to show off details.

I know it's a bit early to say, but I feel like the G20 3 series is a much better looking car than the G22 4 Series. That grill just isn't very "BMW" in my opinion

You will love this car when it arrives. It answers the most direct complaint that US automedia mention about BMW and its too "conservative" appearances. It brings presence,character and power.
And it won't be mistaken for anything else.

The only toned down part I have an issue with is that the kidney separation is gone, the rest is fine.

Audi grill, but all I could think of is charger/new gt500 front. Also the rear lights look like an infiniti. yuck

It follows the same shape as the 8 series.

Not sure what you mean by "you Croatians are very homogeneous", care to explain?

As for the 8er, that's is actually one of these new rear lights that don't look very BMW-like to me (new 3er, X4 and 8er, while the 8er rear lights don't look as bad).

And I'm not quite sure what your problem is. I didn't say I won't buy the car because of the rear lights, I just said that's the part I'm not a fan of. So your "go and buy an Audi then" is pretty inappropriate.

Manufacturers of aftermarket front bumpers are gonna have a field day with this

I don't think Audi owners want fun to drive car hell, even BMW said the majority of owners want more comfort than sport. Only we the minority of customers, we the enthusiasts, want the good ol' great handling and driving dynamics BMW's use to have.

I'll be honest. From all the previous renders I thought I would hate it, this looks great. Something more out of the box and different than the normal conservative route. It may be because I'm 22 and like innovation, I can understand why others who are used to the older cars and a lot older than me aren't feeling it.

Just have to wait for the reveal.

I disagree. I think it is worse than the Audi. The Audi is simply large; this is both large and ugly.

[KRS_SN]

every single new creation(bar 5 series which looks vanilla nice) including x5, 3 series,1series 2 series and 4 series have been retrograde steps in design. I think bmw are trying to commit suicide. Why make such ugly cars when previous designs were so beautiful?

[Nick Daffern]

You've got to be kidding! What is it with BMW Design? Every once in awhile BMW goes completely nuts, like with Chris Bangle's monstrosities.

I can't believe BMW's assertions that they are getting such positive feedback on these hideous grills.

My wife got her M4 now rather than waiting for the new series expressly to avoid that front end design.

lame ass excuse. They didn't get to where they are because of Chinese market.

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

Can't believe BMW actually did this to the beautiful 4 series. They don't even look like typical BMW kidneys anymore.

[cnichols138]

Just noticed the rear diffuser appears to be fins. Is it possible this is a M3 or something other than new 4 series? Even the hood appears to have some sort of venting on it. What throws everything off is the weak deck spoiler and single exhaust port.

[lockeed]

I don't understand how or why, but BMW lost their way with design 5 years ago or so. And as passionate as I am about my E39s, E36, E46 and E90s.... I can't seem to find any of the cars they make now attractive. Looks to me like they're trying too hard, with creases and flares, fake air passage and huge grilles... I think it's quite sad.

The brackets are removable, you know. They sell them in Europe, too.

I suspect it's early production, slated to be used for a reveal. My F32 came with the plate bracket in the trunk... where it has stayed.

The absolute worst part is the off-center cruise control radar location. This is going to look so bad in daylight.

[Crazy Penguin]

Looks like the F8X M4's value just stabilized and will begin to creep back up thanks to this design.

[Steviesurgeryy]

Honestly I kind of like it, it's a bold new direction but let's see 😍
