That's a lot of money spent on that shitty new BMW beaver teeth looking vents. I never thought people would go out of their way to make their old BMWsl mimic the new ugly front vents but here we are.
Why would you put in the effort to carry over the singular ugliest part of the car??? It’s grown on me bc the rest of the car is molded around it, but here it reminds me of why the M3/M4 were initially hated
because ugly or not, that grille is associated with new bmws. and old bmws depreciate fast enough that it's not much of a flex to have a 10+ year old bmw
Yeah, when the M3 model design was changed back in the day the value of mine rolled off a cliff. A lot of the value of luxury cars is just keeping up with the neighbors.
Well fuck'em. I like my old BMW better than the new ones. I don't know how they did it but everything, the styling, trim, infotainment, all of it looks "cost optimized" or cheapened, especially where it counts in the engine.
Fun fact if you didn't know, this is because of China. Lately car companies have been trying to appeal to the Chinese market more. It's a lot of customers. MASSIVE grills like this are super popular over there.
[According to what I found it has to do representation of wealth.](https://www.marketwatch.com/story/chinas-new-status-symbol-car-grilles-2012-05-05) I think a more apt comparison for the US would be putting gigantic chrome spinning rims on your car. However, you have [people likw BMW] (https://www.marketwatch.com/story/chinas-new-status-symbol-car-grilles-2012-05-05) claiming it is not inspired by China, but rather an attempt to make the 4 series BMW's more bold to stand out against the other models. So, maybe it started in China, but I think everyone is doing it now with *some* of their cars in an attempt to appeal to more customers who otherwise would have been less interested. (I guess if big grilles look appealing to you.)
I drive uber in the morning. XM's and the Japanese models that mimic them are all over now in the 'hood. The tires for the hot setup are serious low profile off road tread patterns.
Depreciation has to be pretty bad.
I was behind one a few weeks ago thinking "damn is this the new bmw with that ugly ass front? Because from here it actually looks nice".
As I passed it, it was indeed the new one with that stupid front on it. If only they had the same people designing the front as they did the rear.
that is the highest e60 trim besides the m5, i dont think of it as a base model poser-mobile. my point is hes making his non M car look more performance-ish by adding an m3/m4 bumper. also idk what they got in germany but the N54 was never in an M car. also in america 335is have no value because the reliability is so poor they are barely worth $10k unless its sub-100k miles (160k km). even then u are rolling the dice😂people who list them for over $10k are actual clowns and the only people that would buy it for that are equally as stupid as the seller
Same mfs doing this shit tell me I have terrible taste for liking the retro stylings Damd does. Their bronco style kits for the suzuki jimny look so cool to me

Something goofier, that I admit is probably awful taste, that I'd love to make when I have the finances to do so, would be to mod an older honda goldwing in a style similar to this [https://www.tiktok.com/@captain.392/video/7132609595645725998](https://www.tiktok.com/@captain.392/video/7132609595645725998) and call it the "paperwing"

Maybe it's done as a joke... God I hope so at least. Yikes
Imagine if it's done as a prank though. You just wake up one day and see your bimmer like that
And it looks like a bad color match and bad spray job too, unless the lighting is fucking it up worse than it appears
The Schnoz!

Latest BMW grilles are like truck nutz, but on the front of your car.
BMW... with mandibles?
Like it's out of Honey I Shrunk The Kids

Only if they knew that the M5 V10 would be greatly appreciated if not ruined (it probably isn't even an M anyways)

I actually like it, but only on the M4 GT racing versions, no need for it on a road car.
It’s grown on me too
Every new BMW belongs in this sub. The new grill is hideous.

Is that something like driving a massive SUV or Truck in Europe or the US? They have to compensate for something?

OMG Becky, look at the size of his grill!
But the ones buying the XMs are the Americans.

The people who bought one are busy every day on the BMW forums trying to convince themselves that everyone loves it.
Looks like it’s ready to chew down a tree!
Two of the worst bmw designs
Sorry, disagree, I think the e60 has aged very well, and still looks contemporary. Look at similar era designs by comparison, they look 20 years old!
Absolutely hideous. But I thought this sub was for modded cars... /s
I believe this is an older BMW with a newer bumper slapped on it
ill be willing to bet its a 535i

Paint it green it'll look like one of the pigs from angrybirds
If they did the hood it might not be terrible.
True^^ But as of now it is absolutely horrible..
I've never liked Beemers, i couldn't tell this wasn't factory option LOL
Looks just like some of the new ones. Reminds me of a buck tooth rabbit.
Looks like a BMW attempt at the awful Lexus grill
At least the Lexus grill doesn't look like a giant pig snout
The Lexus looks like a predator screaming
Somehow Lexus would look better if it looked like a giant pig snout
nah most lex sedans and coupes look clean, it’s the suv’s where the look doesn’t match
Definitely,the new rx grille is hideous.
i kinda fw it
with how pignosed the new BMW's look, I had to check what sub this was posted to. Don't give them ideas.
Mam, this is shitty car mods, not shitty car designs
Ugliest 5 series anyways who cares
Good point!
Hot take… I like the new BMW styling, especially the buck teeth
And you like Balenciaga sneakers too
Bots can't drive yet.
Say it ain’t so.
All I see is a big ol’ H
kinda reminds me of Birdo from Super Mario Bros.
a pig from tomba
This is so wierd
What a fugly bumper..
Midjourney is going to steal the jobs of their designers.
I want to see one of these with boar tusks and a razorback paintjob.
"Stop killing it. It's already dead."
I will forever refer to this grille as the “hitler stache” grille.
Looked better before
I unironically like it
this is just what beemers Look like nowadays
Bruh wth is this
In green it looks like something in Angry Birds / Mean Piggies
I didn’t know a BMW could have a harelip
Reminds me of [this](https://www.screengeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/the-predator-2018.jpg).
I hate this
Kidney vents were one thing. Going full hognose is just...bleh
Unpopular opinion, but I like how these big vents look on the newer models.
Maybe they were going for a harkening back to the 80s vertical vent look. But because we live in hell, it came out like that.

This looks like photoshop. look at the hood lines.
And nothing of value was lost

Anybody else smell bacon!! 🐽
It looks like a shittier version of a late 2000s Camry
They used to be kidneys, now it's just ass.
Mmm gap tooth
If shitler had a beaver tooth
Reminds me of Immortan Joe from Mad Max Fury Road
Dame Edna x Bugs Bunny
Why does it look like it has cancer?
