[JTO24]

I'm in the minority in that I like the design so far... I've had a few BMWs now, but also an Audi and Porsche peppered in between so I'm not a blind fan boy but I think it isn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be... people are talking about the 911 and keeping the iconic shape etc. but the 4 series is going on its second generation; there's nothing iconic about it. Sure you can trace it back to the 3 series coupe but they have no ties to the past with the 4 series so they're taking this risk. Sales will show whether it's successful or not... either way, I'm excited for the G80 that's going to share this big ass grill.

People in here talking about Bangle also being a failure yet 99% of the car industry followed in his steps of flame surfacing. While I don't think BMW is being a pioneer with the big grill thing (Audi and Lexus have been doing it for years now) it's nice to see they are following-thru on addressing previous complaints that all BMW models were indistinguishable from each other (same sausage different length).
