Icon12 Preview of next BMW 4 Series....you thought the grille couldn't get bigger?

Shame about the grille, because the rest of the car looks pretty good, IMO....

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Thought the new X5/7 were bad.
Can't un-see that.
And I'm on BMW SUV number 5!

Just the concept, I’m sure it will be scaled down with production.

The real deal will look like a smaller version of the 8-series - which is basically what this concept suggests, minus the mega-grille.

Car looks great...the grille looks terrible. I can’t imagine BMW producing it that way.

The grille looks hilarious. I’m sure it won’t make into production.

Concept and a way to get the media over to your display. Seriously doubt if that grill will look any like that on the production car.
May even be a little German humor as a parry back to the media who have said the kidneys are already to big.

Surely this must be some kind of joke? Then again the X7 isn't too far off from this...

Grilles are trending larger so, while perhaps an exaggeration, may not be far off the mark. Unfortunately......
