It seems to me that the late BMW head of design, Karim Habib main duty was to keep these guys honest but in the end he gave up. May be Adrian needs to retire, after all, he has been at BMW for way too long. And this Dukec guy is too a little too full of himself and much VAG acolyte for my taste.

Too many lose canons at BMW design these days..

Leaked car seems to be missing the slats in the lower vents, compared to the leaked bumper pic..

Also appears that whole gloss black insert is missing. It's just mesh on the car.

This was covered earlier and I believe the prevailing opinion is that they are behind the mesh.

Interesting CSL render.
The G8x will sell more dark colors than light colors.

So, Chris Bangle is now off the hook for the biggest styling mistake in BMW history!

My Chevy Impala Uber car yesterday had the new G82 M4 hood.

I asked the driver how he got it to fit but he seemed confuse

I wish there was a way to block toxic comments and very bad grill jokes.

See if you can join BMW's G22/G82 design team, that's the one place on earth that won't be overtly negative on the design.

The problem is not the people who don’t like the design. There is nothing being discussed about the car except for the grills because of a few trolls who are flooding all the threads with extremely unintelligent jokes and pictures(sometimes pics of their own car, which is even weirder), and then everything turns into a pissing match. Also don’t call yourself ‘an enthusiast’ if you’re hating on a brand new M3 because you don’t like the grills.

They’ll be gone once people take delivery of the cars. Be patient.

There's plenty of discussion on the side profile and lack of hofmeister kinks as well. If BMW didn't want people to talk about the grills so much, they shouldn't have made them so in your face large, if anything they WANT people to talk about the grills no matter good or bad.
