Someone's had a laugh with those grills. No way that's on a concept

Wow, I'm actually wrong. That's a worry... https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/4-series/107867/new-bmw-concept-4-previews-next-4-series-with-bold-look

Face on it looks like a massive arse

If that's a 'kidney' grille then it must be based on elephant kidneys!

Looks like it was designed by Dyson!
At least the roads should be cleaner after that's gone by!

BMW really need to start thinking about bringing in random drink & drugs checks - unless this is part of a carefully planned psychological plan to hate normal cars so much that we all go to ‘cutesy’ EVs like the Leaf, i3 and ID.3 :headbang:

In this case I’m glad that most concept designs never actually make it into production.

It's a shame, because viewing the car from various other angles it looks fantastic.

But those grills

Strangely I quite like this.... :?

Now imagine that front end on a face lifted G29...

I saw the image but my brain said

Classic 'shark fin' aerial on the roof rear and the profiles a match!

 

[djstan]

I like the side, the rear and the wheels. Headlights are ok I guess. But that grille? WHAT?? :dizzy:

 

[Marekdawg]

I like the majority of it.. but what on earth were they thinking with that front! :rcard:

 

[SpiketheBike]

Calling it Gross would be being kind.

The grille will probably look fine once they stick a big white number plate in the middle of it

"concept " :? ignore the front bumper / grill & you have a E class Mustang

I know 'brand-awareness' has to play an increasingly elevated role in marketing these days in order for a product to stand out in the market-place, I've been helping Ultimaker here in the Netherlands clarify and rationalise their product-design strategy in that respect, but I just feel somewhat patronised by this.

If the 'face' reaches market in this format I will definitely feel patronised.
:x

I saw this over breakfast and just about chundered.

At lunch, not so bad. Kept my tuna sandwich down ok.

Now I can actually look at it for a short amount of time.

They’re desensitising is to the actual really-quite-big-but-not-as-big-as-we-feared production grille. I think ben g’s right re. the plate as well - certainly had that effect on Audi RS and Lexus models with their enlarged pie holes.

The big grills are popular in their two biggest markets, that is China and the USA, however the European market thinks it looks horrendous

The X5 grill is meh, but the X7 is fugly and this well, they're just having a laugh

:lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

A Baboons A&se. Only bigger. Some one really is taking risks with this look at BMW.

It was smacked hard with the ugly stick.

I hope that bmw do well in the Asian market if that concepts not some joke , I can't see many people buying it in Europe seeing as Alfa are supposedly getting a 2 door giulia ready for release. Google it and its lovely , although two renderings come up the one with the small boot lip looks the best .
We're in the market for a large engined coupe seeing as the wife's employer has relaxed the rules on their car allowance scheme , used to be 4 door cars only , but I couldn't even bring myself to go to the showroom to look at that new 4 series . The only options I can see at the moment is an e53 amg coupe or wait for the Alfa to be released .
