Doesn't the "fake" Hoffmeister Kink extension being a part of the C-pillar bother anyone? Maybe grafting the new 4-series grilles to the 3-series is BMW's way of diverting attention from this design failure and afterthought?

I wasn't a fan of this when the G20 came out but I've gotten over it now.

If they were 5x120, they would fit my F10 M5

With that concavity, they would look pretty nice on my car

That deep blue really looked amazing. I miss it on my e92 M3.

OK, thanks for the explanation.

I'm still processing these recent pics. Going to be hard to part with my M3 CS.

Nope! Things change, designs adapt and being stuck in one interpretation is the death of an automobile manufacturer.

Yea, me too. They apparently got rid of it as it was once actually needed for space to fit the engine, but not longer.
