    BMW Shows the New Face of The 4-series with the BMW Concept 4

      ...My what a big grille you have...

    BMW released a preview of the BMW Concept 4 for the Frankfurt Auto Show today.  The concept features a large vertical grille that will become the new face of the BMW 4-series. The slim headlights have no glass cover allowing a sculptured look to the LED elements. The 4-series features a stretched out hood, long wheelbase, and short overhangs to give an elegant and sporty appearence while the wheel arches contribute to a powerful stance.

    BMW did not give any hints as to the powertrain, but the 4-series currently comes in 248 horsepower, 320 horsepower, and 425 horsepower flavors. 

    This low slung concept is clearly an early look at the next 4-series refresh coming in about a year.

    Telling that theres no head-on front shot.

    BMW has no stylistic rudder. The basic shape is good here, but the grille/front fascia and whatever it's giving birth to out its rear needs an overhaul.

    Doesn't really matter; another concept soon to be tarped in the warehouse, forever.

    Great side profile, the horsepower part they got right, the grille is way wrong.  That grille won't make production though.

    Are you sure about that?  That grille made the new X8.   What makes you think that BMW will stop at the X8?

    There are front shots, you just have to flip through the pictures.

    This looks much larger than THAT grille.

    That's the current 4-series horsepower. 

    Oh right, well I think the 3-series is 255 hp and 385 hp, that I assume will carry over, probably 475 in the M3/M4.  Power we know won’t be an issue with a BMW.

    the more I look at this grille, the more I hate it. 

    I feel that you would pick this up and slam that nose onto a tough piece of beef to tenderize it. :dizzy:

      The two big things you need to know are How Acidic and how well it drains or not. I took a class last year on how to grow the American Chestnut. American Chestnuts like to be high on hilltops with very well-drained soils. There's a geomapping tool in Pennsylvania that uses known land and altitude data to populate the best places for Chestnut plantings, and my property is one of the best in the county.  What I used was a mix of planter soil and something called Pittmoss, better than Peatmoss. Its manufactured here and is mostly recycled newspaper. It's good for containers because it holds moisture better than peat.  Just put them in some 5-gallon buckets and let them go.  I need to move them around a bit soon. True genetic American Chestnuts are very hard to find. If you find them online, they are most likely crossbred with something else that is blight-resistant. I got my seeds directly from the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation at one of their research centers at Penn State.

      They look like sticks right now, lol. Their leaves are just starting to come back. But here's what they looked like going in.

      My wife gets starter trees for landscaping, and we use 5-gallon plant buckets that have the holes already, but you could use a normal 5-gallon bucket and drill some holes and put it in a planter plate to hold water to help with feeding. We always just use miracle grow soil and the trees are doing really well. We have a bunch of Leyland Cypress trees to be planted once I finish the yard retaining wall and new fence.

      Speaking of growing trees in buckets/pots, did you over-research what type of potting soil/media to use? I think I'm going down a wormhole of too much information and overthinking.  What did you end up using?

      Interesting. I'm using my work computer so I can't exactly download anything to edit them, but I'll probably just try from my phone next time.
