Hi
Just a couple of curiosities about the i4 front grill vs the new 4 GC (and 4 coupe/cabrio) and m shadow option:
1) the grill has a different shape in the bottom, which is more visible in the m models trim/ greyish color:
M440i GC (also notice that there is no front m badge)
i4 m50 (bottom center opens from the license plate)
2) if you opt for the extended m shadow trim the i4 grill still maintains a soft silver line all around whereas the 4gc is all black:
m440i GC with m black shadow
i4 m50 with m black shadow
here’s a real life 420d cabrio in dravitgray and black shadow grill (notice that is completely black):
and here’s an i4 40 (notice the i logo instead of m logo in the grill) with m pack with black shadow grill from a YouTube video (you can see the silver line all around):
Personally I like the i4 black shadow with the silver line the best combination on a black / dark color. Although the straight bottom configuration of the GC/coupe/cabrio seems to me more balanced. The black shadow also disguises the front camera which is a plus. Maybe in a brighter color the all black would be more interesting, what do you think?
regards
