Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since I posted anything here, hope you're all doing well!
I'm very curious what you think of the G60 after seeing these real life pics;

Is it the M sport professional package? That awkward huge black square in the darkened front grill is too obvious.

These are the first images I've seen of a car produced to be sold (I think).
Do you notice any difference?
Do you have photos of the interior?

I noticed the big blank black square at the front grill. It seems not that obvious earlier. This seems new to me. But this car is not EV so the i5 may look different.

That front end safety sensor in the grille is just unforgivably lazy. A shame, because if they had done something cleaner to integrate that, the front end would look a lot less fussy. Would have not only avoided a hugely jarring square, but allowed them to finish the kidneys more cohesively.

Overall a decent looking sedan but it remains overly fussy like most of BMW's current designs. I also see a lot of W212 E Class in the profile especially the trunk.

Much better seeing it at a dealer. But the back end reminds me of a Toyota Camry. Still looks good though.

The roof line is really sleek. Nice body lines. It looks pretty good and not nearly as bad as some make it seem. I like it except of the diffuser exhaust openings with no visible exhaust.

Is it as attractive as G30/F90 LCI...No.

Is it as bad as G8x or iX...No.

Guessing that big black rectangle is for the driver assistant radar? I would try to avoid that, along with the neon grill outline, if I ordered one. Those things would not prevent me from being a G60 owner. However, I would much prefer to be a G61 owner.

Sorry...

Sorry, but no.

I have no idea what is going on with that front grill. Who puts a huge rectangle in the middle of your signature style grill!???

I won't buy one until they fix this. It is ugly and looks like they just ran out of time designing it, so they said, "F it, we'll just make it a rectangle and put it in the center of the grill."

And yet mercedes has been selling cars like that since the 90s.
