OMG! What the F... have they done! I mean..I love the movie, and Jack is the best Joker of all time, but this grill is just a bad joke. I like the rest of the design, and though there will invariably be some changes made for practicality, which should not drastically alter the lines, I am all in with everything but that grill.
I have coveted the new G82 ever since the specs started to firm up (I'm a track rat), but I have a bad feeling that BMW is totally invested in an all too close form of this grill. I will of course wait to see the actual production model, but I am afraid that there is an end of model F82 in my future. God I hope this huge grill mania runs it's course to an end soon. I don't care who makes them, or what they are attached to, they are all hideous.

I hope you mean before, otherwise you should be processing a charge back right now.

- jesus the only positive thing out of this is that my F80 just became priceless. WTF is this design. There are no words in the english language to describe how f**cking awful or embarrassing this is

Looks like an infinity from the side/front.

Echoing many other opinions, the front is just too extreme looking and just looks way over done. The side profile looks like a Ford Mustang IMO. I'm just not seeing anything special here or desirable here.

The rest of the car looks good, but that grill really needs to be changed before production or, more likely, after the LCI.
I think the sales are going to tank, this is a gift to Elon Musk. |

....and what will you say when/if this car is a sales phenomenon? Mercedes basically ran the show for the past 3 years, and the X3, X4 and X7 are the main cars responsible for BMW picking up the pace a bit this year. The company needed to change.

....and there's a list of them in another thread (...who will still be wrong when the production car hits dealerships). Lol! I agree with your overall point though. If I had a dollar for everybody who said that they wouldn't buy an E9X or F8X, I would be able to purchase a set of used HRE's. Lol! |

Something went wrong with the memo.
"Designers, give me thrills !" was mistaken for "Designers, give me grilles !".

You have that exactly backwards. Many will be OUT for a long model cycle...

This grill is horrible!!! Im on my third M car in different generations and somehow the plot has been lost here ....
I hope Bimmerpost runs a poll on these grills and somehow bmw sees the results before final production car. An M4 with those grills are laughable |
