2021 M4 gag moment

I looked at my rear-view mirror today while stopped at a traffic light and just about gagged. If my dog had a face like this, I'd shave his a$$ and make him walk backwards!

When it's black? Can't really notice the front it's not half bad.

Just a lot of things don't make sense about the front visually at least to me. Different strokes for different folks. But no denying the engineering in the vehicle. Just remains to be seen if the next generation will carry on the grills or not I guess. Find it weird the new 2 series didn't follow suit and doesn't look like the G60 test mules have it either

The 2 series grill isn't completely screwed but it still isn't as pleasing as the F-series. I am trying to like the G42 styling. Trying. Does anyone think any of the G-series lineup looks better than its F counterpart?

Saw a few on the road recently and I simply don’t get why BMW designed such ugly cars and even worse, why people buy them. Wtf is up with those grills and the stupid triangular cutouts on the 2 series?

If I saw a face like that in my rear view mirror I'd get out and alter it real quick

It's like the designer said "Let's make it look like a bucked tooth beaver"

I have seen a few of the new gaping maws driving down the street. I believe there are cars attached but the front is so distracting I can’t be sure.

It reminds me of the Bangle Butt in a way. So polarizing, so noticeable, probably will help sales because it stands out even if many of the current owners find it ugly or distressing. I mean, they really do stand out in traffic.

Of course, so did the Aztek.

every time I see the new design in real life, it makes me want to take a sledge hammer to its face. I honestly think it looks better in pictures than in real life.

As they say in "Loki", it was pruned. Somehow it returned though but in another time dimension. Lol.

Nope, and the higher up we go in the alphabet the worse the cars look.

I will never thing it is objectively good design, but I'm used to it at this point. The car has a real F U attitude which I love.

Would definitely drive one if the M2 didn't exist.
