Nope. The 4 series front is different from the 3 series front. It;s part of BMWs new strategy to have the models independent so the 2 series isn't a coupe version of the 1 series hatch so to speak (although it kind of is).

Life cycle impulse changes usually take place 4 years into production. I can;t see BMW breaking with tradition just because a few people don't like bits of the styling. Numerous BMWs (especially from the bangle era) got slated for their looks and none of them got face lifted before their due date. The car is selling well so it's unlikely BMW care what the few think.
