September 10, 20196 yr BMW released a preview of the BMW Concept 4 for the Frankfurt Auto Show today. The concept features a large vertical grille that will become the new face of the BMW 4-series. The slim headlights have no glass cover allowing a sculptured look to the LED elements. The 4-series features a stretched out hood, long wheelbase, and short overhangs to give an elegant and sporty appearence while the wheel arches contribute to a powerful stance. BMW did not give any hints as to the powertrain, but the 4-series currently comes in 248 horsepower, 320 horsepower, and 425 horsepower flavors. This low slung concept is clearly an early look at the next 4-series refresh coming in about a year. View full article
September 10, 20196 yr Cat Butt or Buffalo Butt, that is what that new grill comes across to me as. Clearly NOT GOOD BMW.
September 10, 20196 yr The profile is absolutely beautiful but that grille is so unbelievably awful. This is outstanding.
September 10, 20196 yr Telling that theres no head-on front shot. BMW has no stylistic rudder. The basic shape is good here, but the grille/front fascia and whatever it's giving birth to out its rear needs an overhaul. Doesn't really matter; another concept soon to be tarped in the warehouse, forever.
September 10, 20196 yr Great side profile, the horsepower part they got right, the grille is way wrong. That grille won't make production though.

September 10, 20196 yr They should make a grille that is as high as the top of the roof that you can see through. A 5 foot high grille is probably good for crash protection.
September 10, 20196 yr This is just all kinds of WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! FAILURE on the X8 and clearly still is here!

There are front shots, you just have to flip through the pictures. 15 hours ago, riviera74 said: Are you sure about that? That grille made the new X8.
