    Given that I'll never be able to afford one of these latest models with the mahoosive grilles, it's largely academic for me - but dare I say I quite like that last pic ^^^.....:oops:

    Going to be something like that, from how the mule cars are being interpreted.

    If that's the new M3 @Adie I would hang on to the one that you've got. (y)

    Yes Mike, supposedly the new G80. Wouldn't be seen dead in that... would have to be the first into work, park in a hedge, then the last to leave. Would still be the laughing stock with the neighbours :roll:

    It just looks a complete load of :swear:

    Erm!
    Phoenix yellow (y) (it’s probably not, but close enough to get my liking)
    Re the grill, a bit of vinyl between the slats and an Audi hologram on the sills - No one will know the difference after debadging.

    I see plenty of x7s and 7 series just now and sadly the emmensiveness works in America...
    every incarnation has had its critics which to a degree I understand, I’ve liked most updates, however I’m led to believe that Bmw has taken reactive measures and lagging behind Audi (feel free to stone me!) they appear followers as opposed to innovators

    This a pic borrowed from a Member's thread/posts over of DW, who posted pics of his new Z4 after it had been detailed - I never noticed the grilles in the 'blurb' ads but I have to say I'm not keen on them.. I didn't tell him, of course :nono:, although I did comment of the black alloys [well, he asked for comments] and he agreed, saying he wasn't really sure about them either. He just ordered them in black for a change....

    Now that, I do quite like, although I've never really been into black cars. Even the grills don't look too bad, compared to BMW's current design faux pas.

    Seems that the prototype / render was accurate, from the production line... bugger :(

    I've never been a fan of completely black grilles.

    Then again, my tastes seem often to be at odds: I quite like the bigger grilles. :)

    Where's the number plate going to go, on the side?

    Is that actually a grille, or a styling [sic] feature - because there's an electric motor lurking.....?

    The placement of the number plate seems odd when, even if the grille 'slats' open thermostatically to allow air passage, seems strange? :confusedmore:

    Just looks like a clone of a 10 year old Audi grille
