Big grill vs small grill
Looking at the new 3er, one thing that jumps out at me is the size of the "kidney grills". Having just recently admired a pristine Z8 and Z3, I got curious as to how a less enlarged grill would appear. Here's a quick animated gif that illustrates the difference.

Small grill looks odd and out of place. Big grill always looks bigger out of context or next to older models... picture it to the correct scale on the road and it fits right in

IMHO, a middle ground between the two would've been the perfect balance

These bigger grills look fine in the flesh....
There was so much drama on the x5 g05 grills and tail lights. Once u see in person all issues just go away.

its like the M badges
when BMW figures out the market like this stuff, they paste more of it or makes it bigger M badges on every other car.. the iconic grill.. BIGGER the smaller grill looks not right because the lights have not been adjusted .. tho one somewhere in between prob would look better as the other poster indicated |
