Encouraging for M340 and future M3.
I do hate the slats in the leather. Feels very accord, or sub market.

Hmm. Love those semi digital analog dials. The ring bezels may bother many, but I prefer that over the new digital cluster

There it is... The most crucial thing most were looking forward to being addressed, isn't.

I like that dash better than the full digital cluster.

What's so freakin hard about tightening up the damn steering wheel, hydraulic please. BTW will they ever learn and lower the car, maybe a half inch? Not greedy.

I'm very confused by the steering. I feel each review says one thing different from the next. Car and Driver who has been very tough on BMW since electric steering, praised the new 3's steering (in sport mode at least), the new 8, Z4 and others for their improvements and actual steering feel, but then some EU reviewers don't like it. Guess it will come down to the test drives to find out.

king of the "compact" executive class....
My definition of compact differs. The E90 could fit this category but not the F30 and certainly not the G20 IMO.

And these are my 3rd and 4th E9Xs! Goes to show you how badly I'm trying to hold on to the best 3 series era lol.

G20 looks great in these photos with AW and M-sport, I think people will get use to the look, anyways I like that it finally looks a bit more modern while retaining the elements that essentially make it a 3 series

It's interesting that car and driver said the steering has feel again but only in sport mode
