BMW just announced this morning that first-quarter operating profit fell a whopping 78%! Timing that with questionable design choices like this, which even some of the most loyal beamer fans can't stomach, could end up being a really bad combination.
There are tons of fake grilles and vents on sports cars, luxury cars, economy cars, and even SUVs. It has nothing to do with the price of the car, they're just everywhere now. What about those horrible fake "diffusers" on M Sport cars? They don't even look like diffusers anymore. They just paint a big part of the lower rear bumper black now to look "sportier".
