Every single bloody time. The exact same thing happened when the G20 was revealed.
"OMG look at that grille. I'm never buying a BMW again. I'll go buy a Porsche." etc.

Now the forums are riddled with posts of people who got an M340i and of how stunning it looks and whatnot.

This leaked photo is excellent to show design elements but utterly useless to judge proportions and shape due to extreme lens distortion. Do yourself a favor and ignore it as a reference to if the car is good looking enough to consider or not.

Car looks great in that photo. Front and all views solid. Let's hope the live one looks like that

I like it. I didn’t when I first saw it. And I still think the non-m sport 4-series front end is fugly, but the m440 and M3/4 are looking pretty damn good to me. I’m glad to see some “in your face” aggressiveness in the new design.

I wonder if they will ask 150 cad for it. LOL... Good price point to jump elsewhere.

I think that people need some time because the difference is significant. Over all the 4 looks awesome. Modern and strong. Mr. Domagoj is forward thinking designer. Aa time goes this grill will look better and better (PS Veliki pozdrav iz Beograda)

Funny how some people will post that the design will " grow on you" and you will " get use to it". You will certainly be eating crow blah blah blah.
Just accept people do change brands over these design disasters.
I personally had to leave VW because the newly designed GLI was a disaster. Never looked back and ended up with BMW.
Brand loyalty is not what it use to be.

Rear has weakened though. The diffuser looks like what Hyundai and Kia would do on their Forte and Elentra.

Ugly, massive, heavy, numb steering, and most dealer inventory will cost at least $80k.

It's gonna be a no from me dog.

Underrated comment. Although seeing some real photos of 4ers this render may be "too good"

I'd consider that!
