I originally had it bigger, but it looked so ridiculous I couldn't believe it'd be that big. So then I thought maybe the black mesh is larger than the actual grill.

This is the one I thought to be too big to be serious, but who knows.

I hope the i4 type of grill is smoke and mirrors cause I have a lot harder seeing that looking good. It works without a grill as on the i4 to create a sci-fi look but with grills, it’s scary. Scott26 said we should be scared though... |

Ohh well time will tell, but for sure it will be faster than the F80.
If anything makes sense could be some cues from the 80s bmw's w a modern take w i4 grills. If anything I hope its fast and that it can be modified easily. After which the next few will be hybrid to electric afterwards. Future is electric. |

Does not look so bad actually. Wondering if the kidneys are connected or separated, as the number plate will be in the middle. Connected (as per your drawing) would fit better, but come on a bmw should have two separate kidneys! However then, the number plate would ruin the whole front as I can only imagine...

This looks promising actually.. I don't know how they'll do the lower intakes, especially if they're to keep the /----\ style middle intake like current M cars.

I agree the design has a chance.... one element thats harder to emulate in the renders is that the top of the grills on the i4 concept are raked a bit which adds more of a streamlined look, i think if that carries over the design could be distinctive in a good way.

There is a clear shape to me around the grill which might contribute to the overall design. I personally think a big grill in the middle has to integrated into a design otherwise it will look odd.

Good enlargements of the grills though, it definitely looks like they are separate kidneys in those pictures. The horizontal lines in the grills end well before the midline swirl stripe in what looks like a kidney frame...or is it just my wishful projection... |
