I'm on the fence. Probably will look good on the real car. Especially after we get used to it. The main deal breaker for me would be an ugly front license plate breaking up the lines. . Although in Nevada we are not required to run one.

Basically, there's nothing wrong with the same sausage different length concept, as long as you're starting with a good product. The MB S/E/C's of the W140 and maybe even the W220 generation were timeless and classic. I'd say the same for the E46/E39/E38 BMW products.

The exaggerated grille size looks way out of proportion, disrupts any flow that may have existed in the overall design, and becomes noting more than a distraction...as opposed to a well integrated part of a broader design theme. Just my $0.02

This design is too dramatic of a departure from that IMO.

Heh heh, let's not go too far. I am no fan of the G15 8 Series front end, for example - a design he seems to adore. The grill on the concept was downright garish to me, and the production model isn't much better to be honest. Really, all of the siamese-d grills, which is almost every BMW model now, are subpar as far as I am concerned.
The oft-mentioned CSL 3.0 Homage - particularly the R variant - has it right. That's a non-connected, framed (very thick frames, in fact), taller style grill that looks great. Hopefully the G42 and/or G87 will bring that forward onto a production vehicle. |

I doubt that's the production diffuser in the leaks

Another 'rendering'...I'm holding on to the actual release before I put forth my 2 cents. If it looks ugly then my f80 will be all the better to keep long term. If the new one looks legit then it appears I may be getting a new m3.

WTH is that....!
🤦🏻 If this is not brand sabotage I don’t know what it is....! The Koreans have infested one of the most historic German brands, The ex head of “BMW M-Motorsports” is responsible for everything Hyundai “N”. Yes, I know it sounds crazy but does it make ANY FK SENSE for BMW to keep Designing uglier and uglier bonnets????? Nope. Took me one minute to draw that elementary design, I know it’s for laughs but I will take my snout over that Render any day 😈 🤟🏻....<—-Yeah, Call me BMW, You need help, I did draw that, in the men’s Bath.....💩 |
