This is a very very poor comparison. The light ***FIXTURE*** is L-shaped but when the lights are on are they L-shaped? The G20 has a single-band L-shape which is more similar to the Lexus than to any previous BMW. The pics you show have a 3:1 horizontal to vertical ratio of the thickness of the L-shape. Only the M4 GTS comes close but it still has a dip in the L, that the G20 nor the Lexus have.

I don't care if BMW did it intentionally or not, I like the L-shaped design.

Aren't you lot tired of this whole discussion yet? I mean, you like the car? Fine. Don't like it? Also fine.
This non-stop whining about whether or not the tail lights are Lexus copies is a lot more off-putting than any part of this car's design ever could be.
