I predict the reception for this product will be so poor that BMW will make some radical changes for the LCI.

Just as they did for the E65 7er.

I would be willing to take that bet. What's the wager?

I think the safe bet is that this will be the best selling M3/M4 in history just like the F8X before it

It's like a girl with really bug boobs, and you like girls with big boobs, because damn they just too big. Me the bigger the better, just no big tummy. I like it because it's bold.

If the front plate is mounted inside of the kidney grille it defeats the purpose of going with a luxurious giant grille aesthetic. Mounted to the side it might work but when a license plate becomes part of the kidney grilles it completely ruins it. Imagine taking your front plate (if where you live requires them) from the front mount and relocating it directly on your car's kidney grilles. It would look ridiculous. Yet here we are.

If this bimmerpost G82 preview is in fact the new design then I'll be visiting the porsche dealership when my lease is up. Whoever created this hideous design should be arrested.
See my comment on the 1st page.

I don't really feel like reading the 12 pages leading up to this, but my opinion is: it looks like a Mustang.

You are seeing some positive feedback, because this rendering compared to the 4-concept is sooo much better. Pics (3) & (4) look much better, than what we saw from Frankfurt. The final product might be another step in that direction, we shall see.....

I need 4-doors and a *manual, so I will most likely purchase, but I do hope the grilles are more subtle in person. If not, oh well, if it has a *manual I will rock the big grilles and go with a dark color, black might be the best option.

Well I hope when the debut the grille look much better and I hope some company will use that to make some money and design an after market grille

It's not even so much about Frankfurt. We had countless other threads prior to Frankfurt where the vast majority considered the looks abhorrent. The front end of the photoshops in this thread really aren't much different than the initial photoshop thread that sparked the initial debate, yet, there are more positive responses.

No man, no comments anymore. BMW did not care.
Just wait and see the wallets voting...
I just heard mine whispering … "No way Jose!"
