Are these similar to what the i5 are like? Because the headlights look is one of the main reasons why I do not like the i5....

Yes, pretty much similar look with only a vertical line going sideways. But honestly, I’m not inclined to call these ugly, rather different. I have the i5 now after the RIP incident with the i4, and at least the grille on the i5 looks a bit more normal then the i4…so really it’s a trade off between “ugly grille” or “ugly lights”. 😊

Funny... I strongly prefer the grille (and headlights!) on my i4 to these. So, as with many things design, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah beavers ARE beautiful 😁

Funny!

However, I also note how many other cars have similar grille size, just without the kidney underpinning, and yet the 4-series gets a lot of grief. Just don't get it.

Of course, coming from my 330, I thought the grille of the i4 would bug me. It took only a few days for me to decide I preferred it. Funny, that.

I keep hoping for some aftermarket options to change out the grille (similar to what's available for the G80/82). Not that the i4 grille bothers me necessarily, just want something different.

Me as well. The biggest issue about the G60 is the wierd looking headlighs and the short end sloping tail. The rear end (and rear side profile) is a disaster.

Yes, beavers over the G60 Angry Bird pig at least..

 

[toosteeley]

LOL! I can't unsee that now

 

[ssh]

You know, from that view, it looks like a wannabe SUV... like it's growing from a sedan to a X series...

Well TBH, my initial comment would have been to put a big butt as a gif. (You know the way the grille has been referred to by many reviewers) But was afraid that the moderator wouldn’t be too happy about it, especially since he likes it too much it seems. 😉

No, in honesty, I don’t care about these things, as long as it drives great and quality is high, it’s all good. 😊

Tall bmw grills have been around for 90 years.

They look fine.

The 2025 model looks pretty cheerful.

thats exaclly how i feel too, i am not particularly fond of sharp angles/corners and straight edges on vehicles, I prefer more rounded curves, maybe thats why the i5 isnt doing it for me (or at least what my eye sees on the i5)

Skoda Enyaq is a great car. Dont know why anyone is beating this one up 🤪

 

[i4.phil]

Well, we don't have the Enyaq here. Can't bash it. The closest we can get is Enya without the Q but no new albums lately i think

 

[Jamshir]

For the record i'm not gonna bash an Enyaq. My i4 is replacing an 11 year old Skoda Octavia. Theres a reason I've kept it 11 happy years.

But I dont think a facelifted 80K premium car should look like a modest 11 yr old runaround 🤷‍♂️

Can anyone kindly summarize for those of us who don’t want to watch a video? 🥹

It’s only 8 minutes long. Can you watch while on the toilet?

The 4-series Coupe/Convertible LCI will go into production from 03/2024. Here is a leak that shows the new headlights..

Major downgrade from the lasers, but I LOVE the new DRL look. Very sleek

It's really no contest. The 4 Series laser headlights are one of the most intricate no-expenses-spared headlights on the market IMO. Just the sheer number of elements is pretty astonishing. I can see why BMW decided to make something cheaper, and yet probably still better for the majority of users (less range without lasers, but it'll probably have better matrix functionality)
