And the grilles are disappearing not because you thought they sucked but because it’s an EV- doesn’t need cooling. And that definitely sucks. The hybrid M3 will be a tragedy. (But it will still need cooling.)

Sales say nothing about a car’s legacy or its styling. Many horrible looking cars have had high sales numbers. The G80 has been ugly from the start and is a styling choice that has taken time for many to get use to. That people eventually accept it doesn’t make it a good design. And it isn’t just the EV’s that aren’t getting the big grille. The reality is the G80 grille, or something similar, isn’t showing up across the BMW brand, EV or not. Let’s just admit what the G80 grille is. An experimental design that didn’t work.
