IMO the G20 is by far the ugliest 3 series, with perhaps the exception of the e90.

I wouldn't say it's ugly per se, but it does looks somewhat plain.

E92 is by far the best looking M3 ever made.

I think the G20 looks very good in certain colors and I fully expect that to be the same for the G22. The E/F Series cars look boring and stale in certain colors too. The right color with the right wheels makes a difference.

One only needs to take a look at the Oxide Gray II G20 thread to see color and options really make a car look splendid.

E92 looks dated to me. E46 is timeless, but I think the F80 is better looking than the E92 (yes, it’s all subjective).

E90 is kind of weird, have to agree on that. But E92 by far the most classic look. E30 and E36 are both ugly, E46 is ok. F80 is nice too, as I have it. But lookswise E92 takes the cake easily.

Now you're just taking the exaggeration too far.

Nobody, and I mean nobody is going to say that this blasphemous modern rendition butt cheeks grille looks better than the e9x grille.The e9x really was classy. You know that saying that goes, you don't know what you've got till it's gone? That applies here.

Agree.

G21 in Oxide Grey is a smart looking vehicle.

As to the E92... here's an example that I had for a day. To my eye, a pretty bland and dare I say, 'boring' looking example.

All about colour, specification and trim. Then that has ALWAYS been the case with BMW, for as long as I can remember... back to 1970. Yes, 1970.

I think the G20 is a smart looking car, certainly better than the E90 and E36. But E46 was just the finest looking car ever done.

Previously had two E90’s and an F30 but I really do think that my G20 M-Sport 330i in Portimao Blue is not only the best BMW I have owned but the best looking by far.
Not only that but the best looking in any car park of any size!

[firetitanx]

Hear hear... BMW G20 M-Sport 330i in Portimao Blue , best colour and in my opinion, the best 3 series shape ever made in 40 odd years , bar the proper M cars.
Now if they kept the front shape/design for the new M3, that would be the perfect "Daily Dream Performance Car" ... but unfortunately they did not....aargh so sad, now you will have to go and buy an Alpina.

Here is my g20.. only had it 4 days but ive come from an Audi S3 saloon, so quite like the change.

I think for the E90 you have to differentiate between the original one and father facelifted LCI version. The original truly is the worst looking 3 series I can recall, and chose to keep my E46 330d over it. One the LCI came out I swapped over pretty much immediately.
Quite amazing what a new bonnet and rear lights could do to a car!

I must say I also think that my E90s as standard drove much better than my F30 cars did before modifying.

I know thread is over a month old... IMO I think the G20 is one of if not the best so far (in M Sport guise only and in the right colour - Black, White and Blue are a bit boring)


The only previous one that caught my eye was the E30... other generations were bland



All personal preference for sure

[TouringDude]

I adore mine, and how it looks... but I may be a bit biased

[xenon]

Not sure why anyone bothered responding to such an obvious trolling post telling us all our cars looked crap and this coming from a bloke driving a ten-year old e92.

I like the look of my 2020 M340i although it’s proportions are not as gorgeous as my previous (not directly comparable of course) 2018 440i Coupe. The main angle I’m not so keen on is if you look down the car side from the front at the rear wheel arch where the wheel appears too small and, importantly, inset i.e. as if the track isn’t wide enough. I also think it would be better if the traditional BMW belt line crease started from behind the front wheel arch as has mainly been the case (I realise the E23 and 24 didn’t have such a belt line crease either though)...

[beerglass007]

You think the G20 looks ugly ????

I had a F32 which I preferred over the F30 but this G20 is the best looking BMW I've owned

[marksandygill]

Only issue I have with the G20 is that I'm not keen on the front grill in silver/black, in all black it looks better (still a bit plasticky) but I think looks best in Tanzanite/Portimao Blue or Black (although Sunset Orange is a guilty pleasure )
