God all the hate.

I'm going to get one in the most obnoxious blue color I can find and wave as I pass.

Most of us probably won't notice you waving because we will be so fixated on staring at that awful schnauze lol

Looks stupid.

I'm not a fan of the grill on the new 4 series but really like the G8x grill. I think it looks great.

Looks like a giant tarantula

Was the design of this grille outsourced to Chris Bangle? Or is there a new designer's name that we can attach to what is clearly the next monumental design failure by BMW?

Chris Bangle could care less

Chris makes way more dough running his own design firm

I googled "Chris Bangle latest design" and this car came up. You mean people actually still pay him money to come up with crap like this? And again, you're sure he wasn't brought in to design the new 4-Series' ridiculously awful grille?

Actually, looking at BMWs latest designs, Chris Bangle comes out as a genius.

The name you're looking for is Domagoj Dukec.

After seeing the new Z car maybe the G8x is where it's going to be at... pretty bland.

low135 · 09-16-2020, 01:33 PM

Can't wait until the front bumpers are available to buy at dealers. Gonna cut one up, make copies and sell them to everyone

BMW: We have the biggest and ugliest grille!

Nissan: Hold my beer!

"Can't wait until the car is revealed and it has normal grilles. BMW was trolling all of you"

rak299 · 09-16-2020, 03:48 PM

I have read conflicting things. Is the combination of MT and AWD under the heading of "not at original launch, but later" or "simply not available"?
