Yeah, I'm probably looking at an Audi now for next car unfortunately. That grille looks just as bad in person now that I've seen it on the road (but at least it's noticeable enough that non-car people might even be able to tell it's the new model!). Combine that with how imoossible it is to find a BMW with all the options I would now want (impossible to get luxury, tech, and sport) and even a newer F30/36 is not an option.

I've thought about it, but any new luxury car is likely to be over my threshold for cost to own/value (bought my current F30 with 1 year/8k miles for a trade-in price). Will still be able to order an F36 in Estoril Blue or Snapper Rocks Blue for now though, so it is technically still an option. I can't imagine the discount I would need to make it worthwhile would be possible though so it isn't seriously being considered.

The side profile of the f30 is so much more refined and purposeful.the f30 is less bulky and more athletic while the G20 is more bulky. saw it in the flesh and was not impressed. the interior on the other hand is the opposite of the exterior and is heads above the f30.

M340i With M Performance Grilles Gets Unwrapped
It just makes me think it has some comical fake mustache on it. Maybe it is the black on white? The grey is even worse. Like some people have expressed poor design BMW. Just my opinion. Everyone has different tastes.

I'm sorry but the black wheels look so bad. Makes me feel the car is 3yrs old and wheels just got refurb'd. Diamond cut looks so much sharper

An M5 is not a head turner, to the average consumer
