Haven't seen that yet, glad they are smaller, but will stay wait till I of course see the product as a whole. Still reminds me of buckteeth.

Did you see the new 2 Series grilles in the Mexico thread? They are much wider.

Agree 100%. So either we are right and the “big grille deniers” are wrong, OR BMW is spending hundreds of thousands of dollar testing “decoy” G80’s with large grilles to troll the 17 people on these forums who care.

Likely update based on F8x generation and F90 observation.

MY2022 - LCI-1 taillight (e.g. G20 LCI), maybe similar to M8 Grand Coupe with elevated taillight cluster on trunk lid.
MY2023 - LCI-2 darken headlight / cluster, front grill update (e.g. M5 F90 LCI), update iDrive module
MY2024 - CS / GTS?

Can electrified G8x M come into the mix through out the life cycle after MY2023?

Perhaps...and perhaps there are both variants in camo .... maybe the polarizing grille is just for the Chinese market and the regular grille is for everywhere else

After all.. they specifically manufacture long wheelbase cars for them since many have drivers (wife is from HK).

No, this picture does not prove the G80 will have the same grill as the G82. Those holding out hope for what most of us already accept as fact still have more time.

I'll say "never" in this case. The M3 is getting the grilles.

No... your not. Not when you have had a car built in 04 that could put that down with a pulley, tune, and exhaust.

Anyone thinking that in that light the Isle of Man green looks quite like Long Beach Blue it Snapper Rocks even?

It can't of course otherwise it wouldn't be a green but it reminds me.
