I think it's the opposite. On concepts like these they let the designers do what they want. On actual production models the bean counters dictate stuff like how big the kidneys should be.

My thoughts too....I think I will like the grill regardless, but this design is more appealing to me than the concept 4.

I hope this how the next M2 ends up looking - just slightly smaller dimensions.
This is also a bigger grill that looks different, yet tasteful and also proportional to the rest of the front end and the car as a whole.

I think the 2002 Hommage maybe closer to the next M2 more so than the CSL Hommage

I’d take that too - different, but just as hot.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. These are a good shape and size. I could live with those on next gen BMW's

The grill on this car, although tall and vertical, just seems to fit the design. It's proportionally appealing and graceful unlike the concept 4 and leaked photos. Why can't they just use this for the new 4??
