2021 BMW M440i Review // The Scariest 4-Series Ever

[@caglioso]

The year is 2040. All cars are electric. There is no need for a grille at all anymore. BMW simply cannot cope. They pivot and become a barbecue manufacturer. Weber is their primary competitor. They each fight for display space at Home Depot. I choose the Weber because it’s still naturally aspirated.

My problem with this car's exterior is not the grill. It's the rest. The car does not look distinctive enough on its own. Merge the grill together, and the car becomes a Genesis. Merge and reduce the grilll, and it becomes an Infiniti. Merge and shape the grill into a triangle and it becomes an Alfa. Everything from the front/tail lights, to the mirrors and windows follows a set design trend plaguing multiple big brands. The car is not recognisable as a BMW, unless people look at the badge or the grill. And that, to me, is a flawed design.

You show them your new car and instead of going "yeah thats nice" they're going to ask you what is up with the front and you're going to be explaining that you're aware that you bought the ugliest sport coupe on earth "but its a bmw and it drives really good."

[@endlessdrive8421]

Uhh ohh someone didn't get the memo of "Grand" Coupe...but yes in reality Coupes should only be 2dr

[@woodmanAK07]

No. A coupe literally means “cut”, and that applies to the roof. A lowered roof height. You can have four door coupes - Mercedes and VW make them - but they are more commonly two-door models, as the whole point is to make a more stylish car. A two-door starting point is an advantage over a more utilitarian sedan as the doors can be longer and the B and C pillars can be moved back. Add a fastback roofline and a pillarless hardtop, and you get a very low, smooth and all-of-one-piece look.

[@autograndeunlimited]

@@luapark3068 Actually coupe comes from the french word couper which means to cutt which can refer to either cutting the two rear doors off or cutting the slope of the roof so nothing to be sweating about lol. also bmw calls their x4 and x6 suv coupes as well ;)
