Man that's why I age so fast...the F30 is ending it's cycle pretty soon.....carmakers make us feel old we're already looking forward to 2019-2020. Hopefully these cars still have a manual transmission available. On a side note BMW really needs to come up with a 1 series sedan version to compete against the A3 because these luxury compact cars will soon be 5 meters long by the end of the decade.........

I hope the G20 doesn't have the squished front look. The LCI somewhat fixed it by changing minor details of the bumper but it still a bit to thin and narrow relative to the rest of the car.

I won't say that I know what it looks like through camo, because I cant.
But, I think we all know the design language will match the 7 series and new 5 series. I dont know if this is true but did they start the development early? I always like cars which start development earlier than usual as they make me feel like the car will feel better due to more dev. time. I always have this feeling when seeing new Porsche mules the second that the facelift is announced.

Well, since it won't come with 4/50 maintenance, or coverage for brakes or wipers--what does it matter what it looks like?! Everyone will be gone from the brand by then anyway...

Oh and I didnt mention this, but I hate this look of the front being low and wide and thin, while the rear sticks up like the car has terrible nose dive. I dont know why the design language looks like this, and in a sense it really shows aggressiveness and how the front end likes to bite into the pavement but this is just disproportionate. The side lines which move from the low front to the high rear also dont really help with the optics. I don't know what this is, but BMW better stick on a low rear bumper / diffuser.

So people only buy a BMW because of the warranty? There are other manufacturers that don't even offer a maintenance plan, and they are selling cars very well. With some other manufacturers, you have to buy a maintenance plan and those don't cover brakes, rotors or wipers either. I understand it is a big change, but people are making it a bigger deal than it really is. Other car manufacturers sell cars just fine without having a maintenance plan.
