There is so much to like here if I never look at the front end. Every other aspect - interior, sides, rear - looks cleaner and more modern than the F30, but the front is a tortured mess of extra lines and textures.

my car tops out at 192 miles per hour. I know that because I take it to a local private air strip quite often. |

The internet is brilliant at allowing one to pick one’s favourite disinformation and perpetuate it in order to suit agenda and minimise cognitive dissonance. Therefore perhaps it isn’t this car that’s a load of shit (on the basis of NO ONE here having driven it), but, basically, the forum itself?

If you think you can’t have fun with an M3 by just driving on backroads or in just everyday manner then you obviously never driven one. |

This new G20 M340i has INCREDIBLE SPECS! I also really like the interior changes.
Exterior is a different story. - The grille is hideous but technically could be replaced to Mperformance? - The silver uneven air inlets in lower front bumper are also hideous. I’m sure IND will have a fix. - Tailights and the whole rear are very derivative of Lexus IS and part Cclass. Really nothing about it has BMW heritage styling. - Side character line no longer goes through door handles!!! This has been a BMW hallmark forever that every other automaker copies and now they no longer use it? HUGE disappointment. New side body line reminds me of Infiniti Q50. Overall i wish BMW did a better job. Can’t they just hire some Porsche designers? Every single new Porsche design is a homerun. |

It's not fake, it's just an exhaust tip.
Audi's is literally fake, like this. There is no opening and the actual exhaust is at the bottom. |

Close the thread due to negativity? WTF? What we have here are a few trolls who apparently have nothing better to do than come here and complain and/or boast.
Do y'all prioritize looks that much over driving dynamics? Has anyone who has posted here driven it yet? Or sat in one? Or even looked at it in person? No? Then STFU, eh? As for those that are whining that it looks nothing like a prior BMW... |

Eventually they will disperse as the car gets closer to production and they run out of hot air. the conversation on site will evolve to typical discussion... pricing, build issues, driving impressions, modding, etc. just have to wait them out. They huff and they puff and..... bmw hits it's sales targets The G20 is obviously an evolution of the f30 themes and clearly fits into the current bmw design language. The photos next to the new z4 are the best examples of that I get not liking it and not wanting to buy one for yourself but the blanket statements about "losing their way the car being horribly ugly" are absurd exaggerations |

Oh okay, I didn't know it could be that fake...
I thought only "exhaust tips welded to the exhaust" count as real, and it looks like that's not the case for the m340i |
