Didn't get to hear them - was trying to get my phone to take pics as quickly as possible.

I think the SUV was the Rolls.

I think it is a Rolls Royce Cullinan.

According to the video above, the length and height of g20 remained the same as f30 while added a tad width (+3cm) with wider track. Hopefully BMW will keep the wider rear track format. Expect to see a better stance on the new 3er.

Took us several generations of gripes on the ever growing size of 3er until BMW finally recognized it had to stop the 3er from becoming the next 5er.

For reference: (generations of 3er length)

E21 - 4,355 mm (171.5 in)
E30 - 4,370 mm (172 in)
E36 - 4,430 mm (174 in)
E46 - 4,490 mm (177 in)
E90 - 4,610 mm (180 in)
F30 - 4,620 mm (182 in)
G20 - 4,620+/- mm (182+/- in) Unofficial

Hmmm, at the start of that thread the key specs list says ‘slightly’ larger in EVERY dimension.... but in the review video he says length is ALMOST the same but car is 3cm wider... this does seem to suggest then that the car will be less than 3cm longer (so let’s really hope it’s no more than an inch longer)

Current F30 is 4633mm as I believe it grew slightly with the LCI ...

I understood the wheelbase was growing also. Longer and wider. Just like Detroit through the 1960s and 70s.

I'm glad it's getting wider. The F30 looks really wimpy from the front/back compared to the F32.

I quite like the F30’s ‘tight’ little rump from the rear... but yeh with a wider body & track, together with new slimmer rear lights the G20 should look pretty darn sporty!

I'm very excited for the G20. if the electric version is a winner, there's a really good chance it'll be my next car.

Yes, and probably very very close to reality judging by the video.

Not for nothing but that's a sexy rear in my humble opinion!!!

Luv the look of the lines and exhaust tips!
