Thanks for the pics! Do you know if the iPhone XS Max will fit in the wireless charging spot?

Thanks for the pics. What is up with the "eyelids" in the kidney grills?

Especially noticeable on the white car.

Time for parts of the Bmw design team to be led to pasture, Their recycling Lexus cues and loosing beauty, theirs so many ambiguous shapes all over the place and no harmony, the interior looks like it belongs in an Acura, just loosing it !

I bet it drives great and the tech is great but they need to take a hard turn in their design department.

Audi is also taking a turn for the worse.

Surprising the Merc's are starting to look much better than in the past. At least they for the most part have simple forms going on ! AMG gt ! Classic!

I don't really see enough room for a manual transmission shifter in these pictures.

No kidding... a botox comment was made in another G20 thread and that's a perfect description. Now the obvious "eyelids" you mention make it worse.

Why interrupt the lines of headlight housing with an odd shape from the front fascia?

Also noticed this. Ugh, that was a poor choice. It's not body color in the M Sport.

Front end looks like a BMW, but the rear is very Lexus/Audi...

I was hoping to be wowed by the new 3 but so far meh. I agree with the majority too much Lexus cues in the design. Maybe when I see it in real and drive the M340i then I will be more receptive. The good thing is that Tanzanite is available once again which I couldn't get when I ordered my 340i M sport last year. Glad to see Citrin Black in the color palette which was only available as an individual color for the 5 and 7 (I think).
After seeing this new design I am leaning towards the new X3 4.0, X4 4.0 or Grand Coupe xdrive 4.0 (if still avail) after my lease is up on my current 340 xdrive M sport

Front end is awkward. Too many conflicting lines and just overly busy relative to the rest of the car. The same as the G01 x3.

Unlike a lot of folks though, the back I'm okay with.

Gone are the days when E30, E36, E46, E90/E92/E93 had their own unique look that didn’t look like any other brand of cars.
