the 6 series is still 5" longer than a 4 series though.
cars got bigger so they could expand the range too. 'back in the day' the 3 series was the smallest bmw. with the 1 and 2 series now, the 3 (and now 4 too) had to get bigger.
then there's the fact that PEOPLE seem to be getting bigger.

3in difference only, no reason why 4 series coupe needs to be this big.
My thinking is BMW wants to save $$$ and not stretch the wheelbase for the 4series GranCoupe variant therefore the normal coupe grows more than it has to.....

I was more referring to the just the matte plastic...The other BMW had some gloss or other color on the front end...as per Lexus, I find them hit and miss, but when the do a full redesign, the front end seem better.

Is it really that expensive/hard to make one giant ugly grill just for the Chinese market and do something different/much more subtle for other markets to spare the rest of the world these monstrosities?
