i think the thickness of the bezel for the kidney grills is the problem. its too thick. it does not look refined. The hood lines being straight doesnt help either. i like when they originated at the roundel and moved out as they went towards the windscreen.

That first photo makes the f10 look more refined an newer.

Wish the active grills were a package option that I would not choose

I'm a little underwhelmed by the looks of it in the wild.

It needs a black grille, better rims, and splitter or better spoiler.

I'll stick with my E92 335xi I think these new gen 3 series look awful. Not as aggressive. I do however really wish I could get the new gauge cluster screen in mine.

That's not the right grill. It's the prototype grill I think

Beautiful color. Car looks better in these pictures.

With a small trunk spoiler, the rear will start to look great (and somehow replace the exhaust tips with round ones - but don't see how that's possible, since the existing tips are shaped into the bumper)

To be honest with you at first glance I wouldn't notice it was a g20. This must be the base model.

Erghhh aaaaa! That GRILL why??!!

Now that I have seen video of this car and see how the angles move and come together I really do appreciate the shape lot more than I initially did. HOWEVER the grill and grill surrounds absolutely make the front look cheap. They could have just stayed simple with the kidneys as a whole and this car would be beautiful

Can't wait to see what the 4 series couple will look like as this already looks very athletic!

I'm personally happy with almost everything, except I think the back will take a bit of time to grow on me - who knows, it might look great in person.

The interior is light years ahead. Overall, I'm happy with the design and direction, and this makes the f30 look old and boring already.

3 series is the g20, 4 series coupe is what?
