It look like an Audi and Alpha Giulia had a deformed child. No thanks.

New BMW's always look bad in the photos (like the huge grille on the G11 7er) but in person, they don't look too bad.

Having said that, in my opinion, there is no amount of looking at this in person that will help it look any better.

The only positive thing I have to say is that at least BMW is making each series look a little different from the front.

There is an option for M seats for G20 now. I've seen two days ago on the configurator.
Nice!!

Welp, that's the penalty for early adoption. 😡😡😡

Along with the nerfed laser lights, lack of red leather, and missing "mild" hybrid system .. my end of lease timing is impeccable!!

Well, at least NA has the higher (whopping +8hp) HP engine

Lack of red/merino leather is only a US thing...even us in Canada get that option lol

Hahaha right which is not a bad thing

Actually I think BMW didn't want to look like copying Audi so they decided to something different but it turned out to be stupid

So 100% approval on that sample...
Wow that's sad.

I'm obviously keeping my E46 forever, but I keep hoping I'll find another M3/4 I'll want to buy. Nope.

I'll probably grab an M2 competition soon. I have 0 interest in this new 4.

The car looks great. Just black out the grills by opting for shadow line option. Check out this great render by X-Tomi Design. How does this not look hot to you? I bet you it'll look amazing in person. I'd take this anyday over:

- Merc's butt ugly rear C43 Coupe
- Audi's bland and barely distinguishable from last generation S5
- Infiniti's barf inducing C-Pillar Q50.

I'm pretty certain our G22 is also the best to drive in its class and will post the best numbers.

Styling is so subjective. I think G22 is going to look even better in person. With that said, completely disagree with you about C coupe, it's a sexy car in person. Same for RS5, I just wish Audi setup the car a little more aggressive in driving experience and powertrain.
