Look at this rear 3/4 view. The side profile and the rear end are almost identical.

There is a much bigger difference between the F30 and G30 than there is between the E90 and F30.
Both being 3 series, there is always going to be *some* similarity, but taken as a whole they project a completely different look (longer, wider body on F30, no snub-nose hood, headlights meeting grill, etc as compared to E90). It is not about focusing on small, specific portions of the car, but at the entire design as a whole. Isn't BMW trying to sell a *whole* car?

Also, isn't that the LCI E90? Much closer in time to the F30. The pre-LCI E90 was particularly horrible.
