Those who post, "I've owned "x" bmws going back 15 years, but will not being another". The members who say that might even get an Audi A5 or something, won't be impressed by it, and will come back proclaiming that they miss their bimmer and "I guess the new grills have grown to on me after all". For those who aren't merely succumbing to herd mentality, and truly can't accept the new 4 grill design, they'll lease a 330i or x3 instead of a 4 series.

I agree with your last point, folks loyal to the brand will buy a 3 or an X3 instead - hence my question, who is going to buy this 4 if it looks this bad?!

Those who like the design or who aren't totally put off by it. I think the people who passionately dislike it are the most outspoken, but there's likely a quiet undercurrent that likes it, or can at least accept it.

looks like there is kind of a flow to tips of lower 3D grille and the tension lines in lower edges of front fascia.. kind of flows..

The grille surrounds I think might be a tad thinner then this chop...

The connection between the two grilles is so badly designed...

Looks a lot thinner which to me is a good thing.

The outspoken are almost always the vocal minority. The silent majority will buy this car like hot cakes.

I said it before, this car deserves a more exciting interior. There’s nothing bold, young and exciting about it. It’s grandma’s Buick level exciting. Put that on your list for the next radical design change for your more youthful models BMW.

The exterior looks tidy though but obviously need M-Sport aero.

Both. It's a general rule of human nature, not only bimmerpost members.

Was that Scott26 in the passenger sear?

In all fairness the interior shown here is tan. Tan interiors tend to look nice but subdued. If it was a red interior you might look at it differently.

This is true to some extent but the shapes and instrument cluster etc. won’t change with color.

The sexier coupe shape should have an equally sexier interior not just a fork lifted boring sedan interior IMO.

I have commented on this before, but are these really 'spy shots?' I mean, two of the pictures were taken from inside the freaking car!

I feel like BMW really hit it out of the park with the X5 and X7 interiors (sans the gauge clusters), but with the new 3 and 8 they missed it. The Z4 is okay but again nothing special.

This right here, is still in my opinion the best looking interior of the current generation of BMW's.

Of the last generation cars, the 6-series still looks the best, honestly better than its replacement 8-series.

No such thing really any more.

Controlled strip tease.

Rear seat space looks a good as expected and > 8 series. That front interior, looks nothing new. Although the interior quality has recently increased a lot, there are zero surprises with every coming release really.

Pretty funny you mention that, it reminds me of the time Porsche released their own "spy-shots" of the refreshed Macan and they literally put it in staged photoshoots, the exact opposite of what a spy shot is.

That's so awful OMFG.

Yea good job doing that on the X2 with the emblems on the C pillar you idiots.

Whoever is designing BMW's these days is doing worse than Chris Bangle. I never thought I'd say that BTW.

It looks like a, forgive me, cameltoe upfront.
