This is what's gonna happen..

People are gonna hate it and hate it

Then like like it

Then love it

Then start reminiscing when it's out of production

Hate on the next

grills look too big, headlights too small, front bumper looks so bland and boring (yes I know it's not msport but still), and that hood is horrible. Really hope this isn't a representation of how the car will look at all.

I had been thinking about getting an Audi when my 335 lease is up but lately have been leaning back towards BMW. Now it appears it won't matter which I choose.

This.
BMW's quad-headlamp and kidney grilles are iconic and are a signature design element of its cars.






BMW is shooting itself in the foot if it thinks it can replace the iconic quad-headlamps with squinty headlights and oversized kidney grilles.

Yep, four headlights and tiny little grille are a must. Oh, wait.

And our F30 is the boringest boring bore of a thing. My E36/8 M Coupe had exactly zero hoffmeister kinks and is the one BMW I still miss.

The curvy hood indentations don't flow with the "angular" design language. The front looks a bit confusing still. Hopefully it takes better shape.

Not terrible though.

Not in love with those grilles. Almost looks like an Audi too.

Nothing to claim...

Audi has the same BS blure design language as BMW does.

The design is getting worse and worse! To me, the E9X was probably the last good looking 3er.

the M series of it looked way better, but for the regular Fseries and now this G...ouch.

If the G20 follow the 5er more than it will the F30, it's going to be a hit. If not, prepare for more moans and groans. With Mercedes doing what they have with the C-Class, the F30 looks even more pedestrian than ever.
