The M3/4 are also examples of this.

What really bothers me is that they're are incorporating these new fugly grilles for the Chinese market. I get it, they are a business and need to be profitable. But, they shouldn't impose this on all markets, they are not the same. Make one bumper for the Chinese market with huge ugly grilles and another for all other markets. I don't understand why they can't do that. They already make different style bumpers for each of the model lines, such as the bumper of the 330i and M340i.
Hell they make an entire different line of cars for that market -all the 3 and 5 series Li- not to mention they are mostly build there already so no need for different parts at the same assembly line.

Saw the new M3/M4 and spy pics of the upcoming 2 series, said screw that and ordered an M2, currently in transit
