Can't tell for sure by looking at the first photo, but did this M340i include the cutout in the bumper for the collision warning system? The photos BMW revealed did not show this sensor and it's a bit concerning knowing that the cheaper models have it standard but the M340i will not...

As my dealer said when I bought my car: Do you actively drive? Then you do not need it. Get the performance exhaust! (Also these are only renderings. No Live Photo's yet.)

I think it looks great! Thanks for the pics! I was never really taken by the F30, though we got one for the wife anyway. This is the first 3 I’ve been properly excited about since we bought my E92.

Not a fan, I'm disappointed.. besides for the color and engine/suspension the body style is def not what I'm used to from BMW. Might look into an f80 m3 instead.. better color options as well..

not sure why they went with blue then cover the BMW logo. Might as well choose black or white so it blends in with every other car.. or grey to blend in with the cars in that first photo

Aftermarket grill makers are gonna have a few banner years.
Overall it looks better than stock photos. The swishes and swooshes are not as exaggerated. There are alot of BMWs in Satan Monica. 2 of the 3 photos have more than 1 BMW! |

German press information said full LED, inside and outside, all models.
They cover the badges because the model is not yet officially released - maybe it's the strict german discipline, I don't know. That grill looks like an AMG mockoff, not really a good idea. But concerning kidney size, yes they are bigger than on the F10, but what about that Audi or Volvo in the back, the Hyundai to the right? |

I saw an X7 (assuming by the size) in full camo on the streets here in Orange County a couple weeks ago.
Has anyone else noticed the M340i (or maybe all US spec models) have slightly different rear tail lights? It looks like the frosted area at the brake lights are bigger on the M340i than the 330i pictures I've seen. |

I personally think the G20 styling looks more like a Hyundai sedan trying to look like a BMW than a BMW designed well.
I'm glad I'm hanging on to my f30. Driving dynamics or not, I feel that the BMW design has taken a step too far into the "try hard" camp over the function camp. Like the unnecessary notch in the lights and the oddly designed exhaust flares.
