Just changed from my 2014 335d to a 420d for reasons but it's not quite as handsome on the front. I couldnt work it out until i realised its the grill. Can you fit the older kidney grill with chrome surround to a model with the newer boxier looking grill? Pics for reference





Personally I prefer the grey it never showed dirt either but choices were limited.

The 4 looks far better IMO

The 4 Series with its standard chrome grilles which it left the factory with would be by far the more handsome car of the two. Someone has fitted some non-BMW ones. It’s an easy change back to OEM.

They’ve also painted the wheels black when they should be silver.

It might just be your photo but the 4 series looks like it has eBay wheel centres and front roundel in Black/White fitted. I’d get those changed back to OEM too (if that’s the case).
