Looks promising. The "kink" as you call it looks good. I also love the lines flowing onto the rear quarter panel.

My excitement has been crushed a little. Of all the teaser images online for a while now this is the one I liked the least because of the silly line that splits the front face and goes into the new tooth in the eye of the headlights. From these latest photos I cant see it being any other way.

Almost looks like it’s only a crease. I like the sublety though. I find the ones on the X3/4 a little tacky in comparison.

Then they can discontinue the GC!! I always thought BMW should make the 3 a much sportier & slicker looking car rather than just introducing a way too similar car and charging more for it! I'm guessing the GC has a liftback tho!?

I think this is going to be a nice looking car. Might take a little while for the rear to grow on me, but overall this is looking promising!

There will be a side marker. That picture is of a European model which do not require it, so be prepared.

And there is an airflow exit from the front wheel, you can see it in the photo on the right.

I know most people hate it, but I'm kind of annoyed there's no prominent air breathers on the G20. The new Z4, X5, and 8-series all have it. Is the 3-series not "premium" enough for one? At least put it on the M340i.

Good point on the marker.

But what about this angle - I don't see any opening:

Looks like the front-fender's trying to grow a vent like the coupe?

I see it in that picture too. It's all body color there is no black accent like on the 4 series

It's a little more capable than the current version of Supercruise. G01, G11, and G30 based vehicles will be receiving the system as well throughout next year.
