The shape of the RS5 grill is at least good rather than shoehorning a large grill into kidney shapes.

Agreed. Looking at the renderings again, I think the most offensive design element is the point under the hood badge that emphasizes and defines the sides of each kidney... Even with the middle bar less obvious, that point looks awkward.
I'm not entirely opposed to the new large grill design language for BMW (I actually like the 7 & X7 - sue me), but something about the 4 misses the mark. I guess my point about referencing the Audis is that a large grill doesn't necessarily mean ugly, though the design of the last gen RS5 was far more coherent than the current car's zig-zaggy look.

I also own one of these so I have no solid ground to stand on to criticize large grills lmao
Or zig-zaggy design elements hahaha
We all hate on the bangle butt but eventually even Camry copied it

There is a huge outcry about this new grill but BMW ain't backing down.
Quite a change from this...

All they had to do was keep the proportions more like the 8 series. Make a big fuckin grill down below as well if you want, just don't do it this way. The Alfa, Lexus, Audi... idk basically everyone else that has massive grills has found a more aesthetically pleasing way to do it.
...I got an idea, and it's revolutionary! Lets make the kidney grilles portrait this year instead of landscape!
So basically a G70/G80 with a tooth gap?
It looks like 2 giant placeholders for some sort of infinity gauntlet jewel.
Maybe they are going after the renewables crowd. The thing looks like it could build a dam.
Apparently this is the real deal, not a rendering...

wait, so this is a supra?
It’s really too bad, I was kindof looking forward to getting back into a BMW.
The rest of the car looks so good, too bad there's no way I'm driving that grille around.
