BMW has been making waves for all the wrong reasons. Or, just one, actually-it's been building awkward-looking cars with giant nostrils. However, there is light on the horizon, quite literally.

This sub has no connection to the Discord server, nor does this sub have any official endorsement or official relationship with BMW themselves. BMW barely sells any coupes or M-cars in China, yet the new 4-series and the new M3/4 is the one with that grille. I think it's bizarre to blame this on the Chinese when it's obvious that the U.S.

It really is a disappointment to see where BMW has gone with some of these newer generation models as the older generations held the brand's look together so well. And then you have the new 7 series - this grill is a top candidate for most unfitting grill ever put on a car. And to top it all off, on what's supposed to be a handsome luxury sedan.

And don't expect BMW to calm down about it any more than they did in the Bangle era. The whole point of that grille is to get the iX noticed everywhere it goes as a completely new generation BMW, which it definitely accomplishes. Not what you want to hear, but expect to, not fewer, beaver teeth/gapin nostrils on the road in the future.
