It will be the first time people will retrofit non-M front end to the M-cars.

Wait what? Are you a police officer in an F82 M4 ?

Not IN the ///M4, but I'm a cop who's also an enthusiast, so I talk cars with people on traffic stops or who I casually encounter.

SDRX · 10-23-2019, 02:51 PM

Notwithstanding this tidally hideous grill, it would be logically to offer it on the m4 but keep the M3 in synch with the current 3 series

Those customers with a fetish for big grills thag bmw seems to want to cater for can buy an M4

Those customers wanting proportionate design features can buy an m3

If not I've got a reservation for an M3, big grill means order cancelled

That's 4 series concept and the leaked pic above is possibly the worst ever designed bmw I've ever seen

ajshanny · 10-23-2019, 02:52 PM

This design is one of the worst front end designs I've ever seen on any vehicle full stop. It saddens me to see BMW do this.

Most of the non-believers got real quiet after the concept was unveiled. More recently members like antzcrashing still didn't believe. I'm sure this is the nail in the coffin for the holdouts.

It's not a nail in the coffin, it's the front camera from the surround view

Not my experience when you consider driving as both operating the car and it’s dynamics. Ergonomics as controls, seats, position, angles, infotainment etc. plays an equally important part and I’m always left feeling that the gap to BMW is too wide other than P-cars that for me is better in the majority of driving related areas but then you get into other areas of ownership as purchase price, cost of maintenance etc. making the value proposition tough.

Ah... now I see. You're thinking that you can fill the gargantuan front end with lights and lobby the department for a G80 as your daily.

Thanks for your service.

JustChris · 10-23-2019, 02:55 PM

I wonder if the car you can see in the background is in 'Isle of Man Green' reporter new colour on the G?

Looks a very dark British Racing type green if so.

REMN4NT · 10-23-2019, 02:55 PM

Ppl are bitching about the new design NOW but once they come out in real life even with that hilarious grills attached, fan boys will praise and my F82 value will be 😭😭😭

M model was always in that situation from e30 to e36 from e36 to e46 from e46 to e92...
They talk shit about new design but praise in real life...

No.

bobloblaw · 10-23-2019, 02:57 PM

Jesus, this is terrible. And I was one of the few who loved the 4er Concept when it debuted. I knew it would be watered down from the concept, but this is ridiculous. It is both bland AND ugly. The one time they should have connected the grilles, they make them two separate pieces lol.

Scott26 said this would be the most aggressive M3 front end ever, but it looks pretty boring. I'm hoping this is just the 4er and not the M. We can't see the whole front end so I'll withhold judgement on that, but not looking good so far

This grille has a lot of depth and makes it look like part of the car's sculpture. These leaked pics make it look like they just tacked on two giant grilles for fun. So flat, upright, and uninspired.

G35POPPEDMYCHERRY · 10-23-2019, 02:58 PM

i dont think the g8x will sell as well. anyone can flex with the M badge on so many different models.

Roadkiller · 10-23-2019, 03:01 PM

The car is supposed to be a beast on the inside. Easy fix for the outside.

Hedoniste · 10-23-2019, 03:02 PM

Reminds me of this 6 Serie Hartge...

JustChris · 10-23-2019, 03:03 PM

Here's the plate location BTW...

The insiders info based render looks scarily accurate.

Have you been living under a rock since 2007?! As has been stated multiple times, that has been the formulaic approach ever since the E9X M3. The ///M's bear the front end of the coupe.

Yeah yeah that's what I meant but it wasn't so frikin different between them like this one. They've just gone nuts now like two different cars. they are planning to make the 4 series (coupe) this ugly then go ahead.

TanzaniteBlue · 10-23-2019, 03:10 PM

Definitely keeping my F80. There is no getting past that front end.

iatacs19 · 10-23-2019, 03:10 PM

Is it to meet some safety requirement? I don't understand the design language at all. This is more controversial than that Bungle butt...

That would be amazing if I had that kind of pull. Lol!
