The larger grills are needed for the naturally aspirated V12 engines that BMW is planning to go back to. No more turbos!

Didn't Lincoln learn from this mistake?

Hideous. Maybe Chris Bangle came out of retirement?

It's not even a joke anymore. The real car below looks exactly like the picture at the beginning of the thread.

If those grills were any bigger, I'd cook hamburgers on them.

The worst part is the holes behind the grill are the same as before. Zoom in and you can see the rest of the slits are plastic.

And that makes me crazy.

I finally walked up to a new X5 today and this is what I saw in my mind and eyes

It’s not polarizing but clownish. Maybe better on X7 but thank god this shit isn’t going to appear on the new M3/M4

And you’ve heard the saying: those who don’t learn from mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.

Damn. We're mercifully spared of that model in Europe so I had to look up if it was real or satire.

LOW4LYF · 01-19-2019, 08:35 PM

Every new model gets trashed and people still gonna buy it. I would drive a M760i or 850i over my M4.

Anyway, other manufacturer having those grills forever.

Lol looks a lot like the Lexus front ends
