Video: The problem with the 2021 BMW M4 isn't the nose

So TheSketchMonkey has given his thoughts on the M4 and surprisingly to me, his sketch on the M4 looks worse than the original design!

He didn't really improve the grill. It's still bad, just in a different way. But I do like what he's done with the rest of the car. The stronger body lines really help.

Every redesign or fix I’ve seen is awful. This is probably the worst. Which goes to show why this guy is making YouTube videos and not designing actually cars.

And that’s because actually designing a real production ready product is a lot harder than Monday Morning QB’ing one.

The only 4 series take I respect is this one

Every redesign or fix you've seen is awful because they're all trying to work with the same terrible design. It needs a complete do-over. Tweaks aren't going to get it done.

I've been saying since the unveiling that it's not the grille that's a catastrophe, it's the bumper.

With the size of the kidneys, you simply cannot give this car the lower "mouth" that all the other M3's have had. IMO it needs to be canned, and the mouth on the G8x simply doesn't work.

Can somebody with more skill than I possess try to render this type of front bumper? Where there is no mouth but only side intakes. And those side intakes/curtains are basically shaped like the headlight only the mirror image. I noticed the side curtain/intake on the E9x is exactly the same as the headlight above it only it's mirror image.

I did a rough Snapchat edit to show the idea.

Yep, his iterations are not good at all, I'd watch Frank Stephenson's videos if looking for some real critiquing.
