Tcoat, you're missing your post. Unless you were just speechless, if that's so I'll let this one slide.

All BMW has to do to make their cars more attractive is to lengthen their warrantys.

Can you shop it with an even larger grill? Maybe one that makes a 90° up onto the hood?

Here's the 4-Series designer explaining the choice of grill.
https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/02/2021-bmw-4-series-coupe-design-not-for-all-bmws/ "On a broad scale, he explained that with BMW's expansive line of vehicles, the brand wants to start differentiating each model more, giving them unique identities. As such, the design team made sure the 4 Series wasn't just a smaller version of the 8 Series, or a larger version of the 2 Series. He also noted that customers don't just want a different size of one style. As for why the 4 Series is particularly bold, part of that has to do with a design decision that the even-numbered coupe and coupe-like models are to be more expressive and distinct than the odd-numbered sedan and crossover models." Also... "this is just one model, and such bold design will probably only carry over to other select BMWs, if any." It also sounds like they were trying to stir the pot intentionally. They are getting a ton of free press out of this. Coupes aren't exactly huge sellers anymore, so going different might be a strategic play to get people who wouldn't traditionally pay attention to the 4-series to give it a look. 3-4 years down the road, they could easily shrink the grill and make it more conservative to appeal to traditional buyers, thus getting even more press for "fixing it." We are about a week into the 4-series and may brain is already starting to accept it. I'm sure when I see it in person I'll find reason to like it. |

I sure hope that's not going to be close to the final design. The tail lights look like they're melting and sliding down the back of the car lol
