The new grille looks great on this car, and I can appreciate the throw-back to the older era BMWs where the kidneys used to touch just like that. Very gutsy way to mesh old-school BMW with futuristic design. The only reservation I have is that it might not look like a BMW at all once you black out the grille completely, sort of how the new 5-series front end isn't even recognizable as a BMW to me upon first glance when it doesn't have chrome kidney surrounds. Then again, the 8-series has that sweet M8 GTE-inspired kidney shape with the sharp angle on the ends, which basically gives it a completely different and more aggressive look to begin with. It might look good blacked out, instead of like a "peanut" on the 5er. We shall see! The quad tailpipes also look a tad busy to me for that otherwise gorgeous rear end, but overall the car is clearly going to look stunning!
Great job BMW!
