Who thought this was ok? 2021 BMW 4 Series

It's one of the rare cars that's going to look even worse without the front license plate.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Will wait for the real shots at reveal though.

It’s like they saw the memes about the bigger grilles and doubled down.

Haha. No.

If anything, it looks like they put the ass of the C8 on the front of their car.

I like everything except the ridiculous caricature of a grille.

I don't think it looks all that bad and not nearly as bad as I expected. The article also specifically says it does not look as bad as it does in a lot of pictures, so I guess we'll know more when we see one.

I would have loved to let you know how it looked from the floor of the Detroit Auto Show, but that was a casualty of the Coronapocalypse. :sigh:

Agreed. The license plate breaks it up, okay...but without? Ugh.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Lexus grills while not good looking, look way better than this one.

Lexus grilles are a little ridiculous, but they're not caricatures of a historic look like the BMW grille is.

The LC500 is f'n sexy.
