Ugliest road-legal production BMW in the history has been officially revealed! Say hello to the new 4-series!
Of course calling it the ugliest model in the history of manufacturer is subjective opinion, but nonetheless – that’s my opinion. Our fears have come to reality – the huge, weird and ugly looking kidney grill made it to the production model. Even worse – BMW design chief Domagoj Dukec believes that this grill design will be “brand shaper” in the future – meaning it’s likely a new era of BMW has begun, where they go from making one of the most beautiful machines in the world to making some of the ugliest ones.
RIP Golden Era of BMW (1978-2020)
I’m not a massive BMW fanboy, in fact I’m not really a fan of any specific car brand, but I loved BMW ///M models – they are some of the most fun machines to drive for the money. I have also liked their design for most part, so seeing new 4-Series is somewhat devastating to me. Too devastating to actually write too much about new features and stuff of the 2021 BMW 4-series G22 model. Instead I will just briefly cover the different models of the new G22 4-series:
