It doesn’t look any better with that grille but it’s nowhere near as bad as the beaver grille. I like the new 8 Series cars a lot to be honest, despite not being as awesome as the E31 8 Series from the 90’s. The glowing grille is goofy but I’ve seen worse. Imagine if the beaver grille could glow... 🤢

The side profile of the coupe does look like a giant Mustang though.

German in-person review.


Matte blue is . Proportions are still fantastic. And the light-up grille doesn't seem as overbearing as in the press photos. The other changes are so insignificant that I honestly doubt most people would know whether it's been facelifted unless the dealer told them.
