You're focusing too much on the grilles alone. Look at the entire front bumper, tons of big air intakes protruding out the lower half and they are purposeful. I never bought into the excuse BMW gave that the huge grilles on the M3/4 were for cooling, that's such BS. The bumper on the M3/4 clearly goes right across those huge ugly grilles. They could have done something similar to the G87 and gave those cars purposeful openings for cooling. I for one am relieved the G87 didn't get huge grilles, they look stupid AF and serve no technical purpose. If it had them I would have written the car off no matter how good it was. I can't been seen in an aesthetic atrocity like that.  |
As one car tester noted, those huge grills expose the radiator to rocks kicking off the track. My gripe is purely aesthetics. BMW screw this one, I'm going P-car.
My son was always influenced by my affinity for BMW's. Now that he earns his own dough, he went straight P-car.
