The way leak pics are presented gives an impression that BMW wants to surprise us ? Or distract us with those ugly grills? I hope so. But mules pics looks reasonable!

Can someone explain what's going on ?
Maybe the differentiating factor between the M3 (vertical) and M4 (horizontal).

I don't know if I agree looking if it's going to look like that. We shall see, though.

Doesn't look great for me. Its not aggressive at all IMO. I think some people here had looked at a pretty terrible front end and this looks better relatively speaking. The F80 front end is just so striking and muscular.

So BMW have been consistently fusing the kidney grilles together on their entire lineup for the past few years because it looks more "solid", "bold", "iconic"... Yet they're now separating the grilles back and getting rid of the grille surround altogether on the M models because, let me guess, it looks more... "sporty", "raw", "pure", "essential", "unadulterated"... Correct? Yeah makes perfect sense

I'm maybe bias, but I am confident in this case because it's an M design

I have one positive for the front end: At least they are not including the ugly smiley face lower intake that is below the grill on regular M-Sport models.

Personally I think the horizontal grills will make the grills look less tall.

But I'd imagine that itll be easy to swap it out for an aftermarket vertical grill, although at that size I bet these grills are going to be over $500..

It's ugly. I hear this is a transitional look to another type of front end that will be the new design language for the entire line. I hope not though. Yuck. :

I would have to see her in person
Touch and caress her, feel her up, see how she handles things on the road. See if she is a keeper or just one time thing. She might be about ugly on the outside but could have a lions heart
