The only good looking thing about this are the headlights. The grill looks like some sort of air intake on a cooling tower.

If that is what the new car will look like, then I see a clear body styling convergence with the Honda Civic Type R. Then the Lexus cars with their Mad Max front grille would not have a virtual monopoly on weird looks any longer.

pretty upset that they would allow such a change away from tradition, period.

I'm going to order mine in indie pink. Here's to hoping the license plate "MSPIGGY" is still available. If not, maybe a dark brown one for "ANTEATR".

This particular test car, which seems to have a more production ready rear bumper than all of the rest I’ve seen in videos, certainly looks to feature the same rear bumper lines as in the render.

I loved the days when an M car was more a sleeper that if quickly glanced at would be mistaken for a base series. Makes me think of this ha
That's a Lexus.

The 4 series spy shots look like the angle of the kidney grills will go the same direction as the headlights. Who made this mess? Lol

OMG - good thing I bought not leased my 2018 M3 Comp.

This might be worse than Lexus Predator grille and Audi combined.

I really hope this is just some photoshop prank. That grille might just be the worst thing to happen to design and style since the mullet.
