I’m sure everyone hopes you are right and it looks really good but I’m guessing probably not. They could have just kept the G20 grills with a minor tweak and again gone with the different rims and M accent pieces that would most likely be enough for most M buyers.

But in a way and to your point, most of these options that set an M apart from standard models were also available as optional purchases on the civic models, as long as you are willing to pay up. So maybe in a way you are right with the new grill, that will be only available on true M cars, is a way for bmw to more differentiate not only from others in the auto industry but also within themselves specific to the M series, which counters a lot of complaints of homogenization within the line. So yes, in a way it’s a completely different look...but just maybe a bit too far, to which only time will tell.
The large grille is also to be on the 4 series.

I can't decide which end of that design abomination is worse.

In those renderings, it looks like the rear end is trying to crap out the diffuser, but got stuck somewhere in the process.

Front license plate floating in the vast expanse of the grille is a nice touch too.

Wheel gap doesn't look as bad though. So there's that.

Lol, I’m a fan of the new grille, the concept 4 and the leaked G80 front and rear but I agree with you on this one when it comes to these renders. I think my comment was “like it’s giving birth to a Baja buggy” but your analogy is better

I am beginning to come around.

Was in Munich a couple weeks ago for work, and visited BMW Welt. They had the Concept 4 on display...I didn't hate it. Pictures do not do justice...looks better in person.

But here's a pic I took anyway.

I'm thinking the M Power Dome has been replaced by M Power Nostrils.

I took a look at the pictures again and again! Today Went to check it out and I realize that this car will look like nothing M3/M4 like and that is a good thing. The Front is a beast imagine how angry it will look when you admire this beauty from your rear view. The back looks plain because the car wide must be seen in real life! The Pics don't justify the wide that M car are famous four, lights are mean like all the car angles!

Lucky for me that my state isn't strict at all on the front plate. Whole different story when I lived in Cali.

Was it confirmed that the grills will come all black from the factory? Can't remember. They better IMO.

Apologies if this is been noted earlier in this thread, but came across an article in Roundel from 2019 where they spotlighted Adrian von Hooydonk's love of the BMW Garmisch prototype design and how he's drawn inspiration from it.

Front grill look familiar to anyone?

I am all for design innovation. In fact, there are numerous examples of car designs that I initially did not like, but grew on me. I just do not like that BMW appears to be screwing around with an iconic grill that looks absolutely awesome. In fact, the front profile of current BMW ///M cars is my favorite aspect. Based on images revealed, I currently feel BMW has ruined something great and iconic. Maybe that will change over time?

Yeah, it's just ugly enough to bother me. It's a no go.
