No way will that make it to production.

The new 2 series has really grown on me to the point where I feel it may be the best looking new BMW (from the front 3/4 at least) so I don't mind the triangles but the grille looks too pickup truck for my tastes. That said considering North Americans love for pickup trucks it's probably not a bad idea to make it look like a truck I suppose.

Vertical slats = BMW

Horizontal slats = Audi



If BMW wants so badly to be Audi, it should first stop putting the hood line in the middle of nowhere on the 1, 2 and 4 Series and on the X2.

I actually like it. I hateeeeed the 4 series grill when it came out and hated that cars overall design, the M4 looked worst, M3 looked EVEN worst and the IX is possibly the ugliest car on sale rn, the whole design language is disgusting, but I don't know why it suits this. It matches the rest of the design and i think it is a GOOD design. The grill is absolutely gigantic and i don't think anyone is ready for the thousands of memes we will see on Instagram when the car comes out. It is big, and they even slimmed down the upper headlights to make the bigger feel even bigger, but unlike the M4, M3 and definitely the IX it actually WORKS with the car, because the rest of the car is so imposing aswell

Look Ma, no headlights

There will be a point where the grills will be so large that they'll have to put the headlights inside them.

Actually, shape looks OK to me. The size is killer. Headlight render looks silly.

The Mercedes fans get the SLS, GT and now the AMG SL. The BMW M fans get...an oversized, overweight pig. Here you go boys and you are going to like it.
Another disappointment after they said BMW will get a standalone M model. Yeah. Well. FKU BMW...

People made memes about the grill and I was like 'nah that will never happen'. Only for BMW to stab me in the back...
