Looks great with the blacked out grill. This design is starting to grow on me, slowly.

Love it! Like the outside - all decked out in black is legit. Interior is beautiful. I appreciate the the back of the seat is black - less place to scuff up from shoe marks.

The hate on this car is insane but it will still sell like crazy. Reminds me of the Bangle hating in the 2000s.

I think they tried to make it looks more sporty by replicating Recaro or bucket seats which look thin. The black back piece contrast leather makes seat look thinner. It's a BMW trick to me.

Sadly, looks no different than any other vanilla car on the road. Only way to tell it is a BMW, other than the roundel, is the lovely and beautifully designed beaver grill........yikes!

In the end, sales figures will determine how well the design was liked.

Worse case scenario, they will blame low sales numbers on the shift towards SUVs anyway.

Picture a young and attractive lady in a nice tight and sexy black cocktail dress.

Now picture that same dress with Nancy Pelosi in it. I hope you get the mental image regarding that awful grill.

New M4 definitely won't be able to compete with the new Audi RS5 on looks with that beaver-tooth grill. M4 design team needs to get chopped!

I'm not a fan of the G22 grille, but it's not bad. I don't particularly care for ANY regular BMW front end. I felt the same way about the E46, E9X and F30 non-M Sport front ends too. None of them are particularly great. Where they start to shine is with M Sport goodies or in M guise.

Nobody looked at a 323, 325, 328 front end and got excited about it.

Had to go back and look at that grill one more time after reading your comment just to make sure i was seeing right.

I am seeing right. Man that grill is hideous!

There are exceptions, but by and large, most BMW seat backs are black.

Having had a couple F10s and now with a G22 currently in production ... I don’t dislike the grill size and shape of the new 4 series. I might have designed it differently, and I intend to replace mine with the all black and carbon M Performance grill, but... I too find most BMW grills unattractive and in need of a new look. Most are too big, or the mesh is ugly. Why does the 3 have a grill that the top few inches are molded closed? It looks like a patch where it should be open or body sheet metal should be there.

Anyway, I like the 4... enough to actually buy it, and not just whine about how they are updating a dated car... that I might lease for 24 months... if I can get enough incentives.

Right on! I can't wait to see your 4 and the 4's of others as they start being delivered. I want to see a modded one. I also wonder if there will be M Performance grilles.
