The issue is that these design decisions must be a function of some kind of polling/market research that showed a preference for this design. They must have heard the “beaver teeth” comment at some point before along the design process, no?
But it makes me wonder what alternative ideas they were considering and presenting such that this was the winning design. It may be that they are targeting a certain strategic demographic that indicated a liking for this design element. I don’t know, but I am intrigued to know more about it.
Too loud for my taste....
But I'm happy car manufacturers began using considerably more imaginative color palettes over the past several years....
I personally like flashy colors for a sports car. The main question would be to ensure you love this color enought that you will not get fatigued by it in 6-12 months
unless of course you change cars every 6-12 months ))
I'm sure its nice but
all I can see is that green buck tooth beaver pic floating around.
Not a fan of that color, and the styling hasn't grown on me.
Maybe it will in time...
If you like it, go for it!
I'd like an "acid green" Lamborghini Huracan. But I'd settle for a grey one with acid green brake calipers and acid green stitching on the interior!
Paint is fine...
...what the heck. But the grill is too much for me. Maybe in a darker paint color.

Aymen, I'll share my opinions which may give some insight to your ponderings.
I am late 40s, never owned a BMW. I have wanted a sporty car for some time now, and with the mad push to seemingly get everyone in an electric car, I want a gas guzzling powerful motor while they are still made.I have been trying to get a Cadillac Blackwi...
Thank you, Michael. Your sentiments and reasoning all make sense, and I can easily share that perspective on this new BMW design element.
In fact, my initial impression was that these new grills looked mean and sporty, but then reading beaver comments had me seeing it from that perspective too. Myself, I’m more inclined to see it as a Darth Vader grill, which is uncompromisingly cool and to...
I keep wondering if BMW realized that their mainstay performance sedans were looking more and more like Mustangs. So to differentiate them they reached further back into Ford's
history and added a kidney-ized Edsel grill. If nothing else it does provide instant recognition ... like the predator grill on modern Lexus cars.
I think the G series M3/4 is intentionally designed radically to show leap of advancement
Even the quad trapezoidal exhaust in M is also radical. Accepted by the avant gardist, detested by the classicist 😁 Perhaps they will smoothly morph the vertical kidney design by the H or I series. IMHO this is one the most beautiful car nose. Radical yet...
No issues.
I don’t think I’d want to drive it though ! Is that the Sao Paolo Yellow? One of the two choices which don’t cost extra?
Would choose another approach
About taste it's impossible to discuss. Either you like it or not. I would have chosen a rather decent colour and then get it wrapped with this funky colour foliation. If you get fed up in the future you may just change it and in case wish to resell the c...
NONE! In fact, I have one on order.
Skyscraper Grey, M4Cx, ordered just over a month ago. Wouldn't you know it, I have never owned a BMW. And I have found the front end of this car so alluring since the day it launched. It seems universally upsetting to real BMW "PuristS". I am not one at a...
