I honestly, genuinely, didn't think they could make their pig nosed grille fetish worse but somehow they did. I didn't even think the current ones were that bad but this takes the cake.

It is a first reveal concept they are years away from whatever power train they decide to use for production. If it sees production.

New cars just keep getting worse and worse... I always wanted them to revert back to the tall kidney grills of the old days, but not like this. Looks like they are getting their styling inspiration from the 5 year old Lexus grills.
Why can't they just put the e46 M3 back into production? That car was perfect...

I've noticed it mainly with the new 3 series.....aside from the rear end looking almost like a Lexus GS or RC rear end, the whole car has a lot of sharp creases, angles and lines that seems to be more in line with Japanese design than the softer German design. And as much flak as the Spindle grille from Lexus has gotten size and shape wise (which is getting softer and better integrated with the newer cars), seems like the BMW Kidney's just keep getting bigger and bigger....and honestly it doesn't look as clean as the older german designs..... |

guess I'm with the unpopular group thinking the new grill design is a nice change...in general I've always thought the majority of the old kidney grills were a bit boring and awkwardly small

"BMW 4 Series coupe looks sleek in light camouflage" took on a whole new meaning when I didn't have the whole context. I was baffled as to what you were talking about for a minute. That doesn't look sleek at all!
