There has been a great deal of controversy recently over the overgrown kidneys of the new BMW models. At the same time, the design boss of the brand does not mind that customers adjust their appearance to their liking.

Nowadays, when new BMW models are presented with giant kidneys, we are all used to the first graphic modifications of a new car with normal-sized kidneys appearing a few hours after the official premiere. But after the introduction of the new generation of the BMW 4 Series, things went even further.
There are several designers and modifiers in the world who offer a completely new bow with smaller kidneys and a modified front bumper for the new 4 Series Coupe. But if you expect the wrath of the Munich design bosses to fall on these finishers, you are wrong. Even the BMW design boss himself has nothing against modifying the appearance of (not only) the new Munich coupe.

„We have various offers at BMW – they are very expressive pieces – or you can put aftermarket parts on the car, and big wheels and other such things. But if people want to go somewhere else and modify their car, that’s fine for me. I think that’s cool,“Said Christopher Weil, BMW’s head of design, in an interview with CarsGuide.
At the same time, it is quite surprising that a high-ranking representative of the world’s carmaker decides to openly support customers in the modifications and individualization of their cars through third-party components. If similar people are already talking about car modifications, the speech usually turns to parts directly from the carmaker’s offer.

But Weil obviously has no problem with the entire tuning community. “I like the idea of modifications – we see it in the world of motorcycles, where a lot of modifications are made – and if people think ‘we can tune the car, we can make it different’ or want to adapt the car’s appearance more to their personality, of course they should,“WeGu colleagues from CarsGuide quote.
But this certainly does not mean that Weil would condemn the design of the mask of the new BMW 4 Series. In his opinion, it is necessary not to limit oneself to photos, from which the design of the new BMW 4 Series may not stand out correctly. But once people look at the car live, they are said to fall in love quickly. In addition, Weil adds that the carmaker is pushing the boundaries of automotive design, and that’s only good.
