The Bangle era stuff has aged pretty well though - I'm not sure this design will hold up as well, but I guess we won't know that for a few years. Maybe the LCI will improve things, like in most previous models.

How come every manufacturer that collaborates with Toyota ends up making cars that swing in Toyotas direction? Subaru springs to mind, where the Gen 4 Liberty (Legacy) was a great car, but the Gen 5 after they began collaborating with Toyota was bloated and boring, looking much more like a Camry. Subaru haven't really had their mojo back since - where's the turbo BRZ? Thanks Toyota.

Car looks good but if you're old school like me that loves the classic bmws like the e36m, e46m, even the e92m...this is disappointing

That's a great spot, they're cracking wheels.
Very cool.

As long as I don't have to clean them.

Will the real Lex... um I mean... BMW please stand up?

First, it's the cushy, numb and isolated ride, and now the exterior and completely axing any pretense of catering to the enthusiast market... Lexusification of BMW is now fully complete. Congratulations.

Not as ugly as I thought it was going to look.
If you stuck a Lexus badge on the back, no one could tell the difference.

Kia, like Mazda have shamelessly copied the 3 series to no end and even admit as much. Basically the Kias you see are tantamount to the results of industrial espionage and trademark violations, but whatever.

How about all of you haters, leave the brand, leave this forum, and go buy a FWD Audi.

The G20 will by all accounts yet again be a trump card in the sport sedan segment.

Hahaha. I've been in the game for 17 years. Have owned 3 e36 m3s. e30 m3. E46 m3. E39 m5. E60 m5. E90 328i. E92 335i. E92 m3. E92 335is. F30 328i. F10 535i. E28 535is. Z4m. The list is as long as it gets. Current stable is e24 635csi (mtech manual 50k miles) f10 m5. F10 535i (wife) and ACS3 e46 M3 (AC Schnitzer original press car from the early 2000s). No where near noob status buddy. Also Lexus has always tried to bench mark bmw. Key word tried. They've never got close. Especially to the 3 series. All the iS garbage never compared. They have tried had I'll give them that. Just not close. The point is. The car looks like the Kia. Especially the new Z4. Sooooooooo similar to the Kia stingers front end. Everyone has their own opinion. Die hard bmw fan here. I just don't like what I see. I'm sure over time everyone will settle down and their eyes will adjust to the new model. I'll most likely end up buying one lol. Just not crazy about the looks.

Oh my... another clueless idiot masquerading as an expert. Leave the words like "trademark violations" to those who actually understand the terms.

I hope the irony is not lost on you when you call the long-time enthusiasts "nOObs" and "yahoos".

Really?




I wonder why they didn’t use the sound of the actual engine. The B58 doesn’t sound bad. I really hope they don’t intend to pipe in the sound of what sounds like a Huracan into the cabin and that’s why that sound is there lol.

I seem to remember that there has been a change to some laws in Germany that forbid making exhaust sound louder.

There still may be a performance option down the road, but doubt it will have the electronically controlled flap to change the exhaust note.

So the M Performance catalog also includes an update for the active sound system to mimic a V10?

Sweet.
