This generation, not so much. I also doubt it drives much better than the f30.

After owning 4 consecutive generations of 3 series, I think I will sit this one out.

I think the dynamics will be better esp in the M340i
However I agree the excitement factor is lacking in this series..
at least its polarizing
just like the lexus grotesque grille even had its fans
and the alpha giulia bird face has its fans
but I dare say most are not impressed
the G series has lost its balance of sportiness-classiness
I have to say the previous design head who left for a korean maker
did a great job on the Fxx series.. this includes F80
Wrong buddy.

Karim Habib, then head of BMW design, abruptly ended his relationship with BMW in January 2017 and went onto become the head of design of Infiniti automobiles (Nissan's luxury arm) in Japan.
