I have no opinion on this design, it's a test mule. I'm just suggesting the car will sell well. You're suggesting I like a broadly hated design, ie, the g80? If that's your statement, I would say that the term "broadly hated" is a huge exaggeration. The vast majority of the public loves the G80 (driving around in one is an insane experience, people have universally positive responses in person), even if many long time BMW enthusiasts/consumers don't care for the front fascia, weight gain, etc. If I am making an incorrect assumption about your inference please correct me.

Plenty of people love the new G80 design. I like it but was uncertain when I first saw the early skewed leaks. I only liked it more as more leaks came out. I really loved it after seeing one in person. I will likely upgrade my G20 in a few years, which will be BMW #4 for me. With that said, I really dislike the grill on the base 4 series, it just doesn't flow like the m3/m4 grilles do. |

I also still have faith this car can look great. People are blowing up because of leaks? Come on now...let's at least see the finished product. |

Let's wait and see what happens when more than a trickle of sports cars are coming out of Germany. I mean new cars are so rare that used cars are just as expensive as new cars!!! |

Plus, a BMW insider/employee has commented on this thread that the leaked bumper is not the real bumper.

I keep hearing people saying "that's it for me, I am switching to Porsche". Really? Grille is what did it for you? Bumper was the deciding factor? Have you ever driven a 911? I mean 911, not turbo, not turbo S, not RS, GT.... Porsche is on a different level whatsoever. If you think the difference between Porsche and BMW is the grille you have no clue what you are talking about.

So normalish sized grilles, but horizontal slots. The mockup of the front bumper looks like at some point BMW designers thought of slapping the lung grilles, realized there will be no space left to put the rest of car there, and kept the ugly nostril indent.
Glad I went with one of the last F87's.

That would be nice for the M2 or 240i, but unfortunately it's most like the 230i. The one I am least likely to buy. That may change though once I seen them in person. If the 240i still looks disjointed and out of proportion in person the 230i could rise up.
