Apart from the huge grill I think it looks great. It will take some time to get used to that face though.
Stuck a similar point on a different thread in relation to stupidly oversized front grilles - the 7 LCI is almost 18 month old now. Anyone think it looks good now that some time has passed?

On the 7er and X5 / X7 the size is somewhat an issue but in time I'll be able to see past it. I think I've more issue with the fact they appear to be cheap quality...almost as if they took an OEM grille and wrapped it in Chrome.
The 7 series grille still looks a bit OTT, but the 4 series is on a different level. It's not just about the size but the shape. I get they might be an homage to the earlier days of the marque, but I'm just not sure it works. It's like it's trying to respect both the earlier tall/narrow style and the newer wide/deep style but it achieves neither and just ends up looking confused.
So let's review, 80% of BMW enthusiasts think it's hideous :D
Your move, BMW.
