The last straw was the front design of the I4, after all of the media and owner outrage at the design, BMW put the same design on the front of a car that needs no design. The M4 front is pure marketing, no function.

Right now I am in a 2020 M4 ZCP, 6MT with 44,000 miles, great car, it sees the track once a month.

TODAY, I am submitting my name on the wait list for a 718 GT4 manual.

Let your wallet do the talking!!

My biggest gripes are the grills are just way too massive/ugly, and they are using M badges on everything. It's how every manufacturer is though.

Instead we're getting loud and obnoxious vibes. Just look at the G80 marketing campaign. I don't think there's enough acid or angel dust in the world to make sense of this shit.

WTF did I just watch and hear man?
Got damn ngga, that sht was horrible 6 ways to Sunday. lol
It was like the car was a huge dildo and she was getting effed in the parking lot on bare wet concrete.

And the music at the end?

I hadn't seen that until now. Now I have PTSD. Thanks.

Want the bad news? Just got off the phone with a women at work who is leaving. Late 20's, likes money/nice things, attractive, dresses well, semi into cars. Absolutely loves the new grille, desperately wants a M4.

We're fucked.

Renamed M Flower. I have a part solution, paint the grille in body colour from the bottom up going to the outer bumper line.

Absolutely, although more ricey than bling. Bling can be excessive but look good, riced out however… no. The recent beaver grills from iX, to 4er, M3/4, etc. are excellent examples of this, and don't get me started on the "M-Performance Parts."

Talking with a mature woman today who has just got herself a new 4-series. Absolutely loves it, to look at and drive.

She saw it in the showroom and decided there and then she would have it. While waiting to collect, looked up a few reviews. She noted that most criticism was of the grilles. Couldn't understand why.

Now is she new to BMW, NO. She's a repeat customer. Some folks do appreciate a new look to BMW models, something different than the slow evolution of the brand.

agreed it's hideous, was contemplating a 4 series vert, PBG (pre-abomination grill) yuk

There paying/bribing youtubers on this shit almost every video on the cars with these grills, they start of by saying "Oh yes and what about the grill" followed by "it different and awesome"

Then do some sneeky camera angles to hide the fact that it's awfull.

I mean is it just me, and a recent meet a couple of guy's mentioned that and said, "but yeah it the flesh it's quite nice"

GOD why are we getting brain washed by influencers.

First thing people should have done is boycott thoes awful shit, BMW would have changed it back in the next LCI

Of course that's a pipedream

if something looks shit it usually is, we con't need people to tell us, "your wrong, it's cool, it's sic"

Never once seen on an actual M car

I've seen them on a Volvo XC90 once. I find them tacky as hell.

Because they don't need them and aren't trying to compensate.
