I feel the new M3 an M4 are going to be beasts, and I advocated and requested M xDrive. But why are these cars increasingly getting bigger and bigger to the 5 Series size, bigger is not always better. And the additional 400 pounds - is that correct, that cannot be all of the xDrives weight distribution.
FYI, the opening on the CS/GTS/GT4 hood is an outlet, not a scoop...

There will be no changes to the grille. It's laughable anyone thinks BMW are going to change anything now it's gone into production.

They aren't going to change the grille. Dukec thinks it's the greatest thing ever. Where did you hear this rumor?

Also they aren't going to change it drastically for the LCI. Also, they aren't going to make it smaller for next gen. The big grill is here to stay.

For this generation for sure as there's not a lot they can do for the LCI outside of slightly massage the grilles and tweaking the vents. Going forward it depends on the general automotive trend. The current trend of big mouth grilles has probably hit it's peak as there are vehicles out there with front ends that are almost all grille and there's not much further you can take that.

Yeah. They did a bunch on bmwm's Instagram stories. Spent a lot of them showing the cooling and grille insides. Can't believe people actually think they'll change them. The cars going to sell amazingly, time to move on if you don't like them.

It is actually design change in different stages of development. First the snot grew and then the rest of the body will play catch-up.

Yes, BMW could change the hood, bumper, etc. And yes, there is precedent.

BMW dramatically improved the looks of the E90 with the LCI. These changes included a new hood, headlights, bumper, trunk, etc. Those who can't stand the looks of this car can at least keep their fingers crossed that BMW could take a similar approach.

Interesting point, but was here another impetus for the e90 change, such as it being after the bangle era so they had new designers?

BMW is doubling down on the new grill with other models. 4-series, iX, i4. I think it's here to stay. I wouldn't bet on an LCI change.
