It's just a 3.

Nothing special.

M3 is what to aim for.

Is it me or does the C pillar look as if it is the same size on both?!

G20 tail lights look better, but for the rest of the car, f30 all day.

This is like the e39 vs e60, the e39 was clearly better looking even though the e60 was a better car in every way.

F30 Front combined with the rear of the G20 would do it for me personally.

The G20 seems to look like buying a Lexus without the Lexus reliability! Not a fan

For the time, when it came out, the e46 was amazing... this is underwhelming in terms of the design.
The real upgrades are not visible - technologies under the skin.

Here is a comparison to the G20 330i M Sport and my F30 340i M Sport. Nice to see the difference between Portimao and Estoril Blue as well. Really loving Portimao Blue.
F30 looks dated like a 90s camaro.

F30 vs G20 3-2

No way. S55 pulls like a crazy dragon.

M2C is more than just speed. There's a connection between driver and car.

The 3 is not even close to it. It's not special.

Not liking that G30 at all, like I genuinely have no desire for part of it.

I can see me hanging onto my CS for a looooong time. I’m not into techno-fest cars even the new M5 is overly tech-d out for my liking.

While M may be " what to aim for ".... every BMW I have owned is special.

I began with an E30 M3, and then a second. An M snob for 17 years , I've now owned an X1 and two other e46 325ci and have for decades watched friends enjoy the hell out of their BMWs.

I have friends that own 325e, 2002, all M3 models , e28 m535, f87 m235 , M4 GTS, e46 zhp, e90 convertible and many more ... all are fantastic cars. From base to M they all kick ass.

I have an F80 and I like how the G20 looks, the only thing I don't like is how it makes the F-series look ancient...

Otherwise it's a great update to the design!

Look at the bulky Bavarian looking tail lights on the F30 and also look at the beautiful paint in between the kidney grilles! Two separate grilles! The new tail lights look ridiculous next to the F30. Too thin. The new grille looks so bad I think this will be the last time I ever willingly look at it. The G20 car itself as a whole (minus front and rear cosmetics) is far too spectacular that having a fake, yes FAKE, looking grille is very much sacrilege for a brand that has its flagship on visual recognition of the dual separate kidney grilles. The shape and size of the G20's grille is alright. It's the material of the grille that takes a great looking car and turns it into a knock off imposter of a BMW grille.

Just comparing the two, F30 has better front but all other side, G gen is better. But I still like E90 in all front rear and side profile better than both...

It lost the angel eyes, it lost its signature body line running through the door handles, it lost its signature bmw ass end. The car looks like a Lexus/infinity/Mercedes from the side and the rear looks like a Lexus.

And the most annoying part is it looks NOTHING like anything else in the line up which makes the brand look cheap as a whole. It looks like they had a bmw designer work on the 1/2/5/6/7 and then had some outside hire do the g20 without ever seeing what the 1/2/5/6/7 look like. Just an oddball.
This post is dead on, G20 looks like a Lexus anyone who denies it ordered one or is on meds.

Anyone who thinks it looks like a Lexus needs to be on meds...

I've had 4 bmws. From 1974 2002 Tii to an e38 to an e82 135i to the current e90 328 6MT. It is my last. I just don't like the designs and the direction the company is going in. Can't find a RWD Manual. I'm out. I'll go for a better car if it has to be an auto.
New BMWs are, to me, ugly.

F30 IS the ugliest 3 series ever made. G20 is such an improvement
