Dear god. You know I kinda liked the 7 series new grill but this doesn't look at all like the brand anymore and is so disjointed it's jarring.

Oh god, as if it couldn't get any worse:

The nostrils are so massive that the ACC radar plate couldn't be mounted at the center or below the bumper because it would get in the way of the license plate. So they tacked it on one of the sides like a fridge magnet... who signed off on this?

People will do M340i Front end conversions or BMW will do away with that look on the refresh.

Best way to hide is black car, blackout option, and likely black wrap around the chrome around it. It is just hideous.

I think darker colors will be very popular as will Msport package.
It looks very bad in White with base non-msport trim.

BMW M4 spied with wild stacked center exhaust

Quote:

The standard (and still yet-to-be-revealed) BMW M4 has a relatively normal quad-tipped exhaust with twin pipes on each side of the bumper. The prototype we’re looking at here is totally different, as it features a stacked, center-exit quad exhaust design.

It’s reminiscent of Lexus F performance cars like the IS F, RC F and GS F, but instead of putting the stacked exhaust on the corners, BMW has jammed it all right into the center of the bumper.

Possibly a GTS variant.

BMW hired some Lexus designers i think.

1st they copy the ugly Predator grill, then the RC/IS tailights and now the stacked LFA/RCF exhaust.

I see more Porsche in my future...

Ruined..I can't believe this.

How does stuff like this get approved? These guys had the best proportions, classic design...just everything was so right over the years...and now they've totally blown it. I'm sorry, those real-life pics look terrible.
