Would love to have the carbon fiber rear spoiler and mirrors installed at port for my M340i.

Still not sold on the black grille now that both kidneys are connected. With the F30 you still had a tiny amount of body colored paint between the kidneys to break them up, now on the G20 it ends up looking like a black blob in most photos. Will need to see more examples in person before deciding.

Radar for the driving assistance features, most notably the radar cruise control.

Looks are undeniably solid plus sheds some hope for the REAL "M". All those cosmetics on a "4" most likely brings the price up to low $60's, insanity. Out of the box late $40's, okay.

Meh, doesn't move me either way to be honest. "M" should be better, at a starting price about 80K,

I saw the new G20 at the dealer today. It'll take me a minute to get used to those connected front grills. They seem oversized, especially when they are all black. The interior is nice though and I like the new dash.

It is. I would have that removed by the dealer prior to my pickup... I hate when dealers tack parts on the car... if I want to rep your dealer then ask me first before you waste your time adding it to my car..

if you don't feel like that black grille looks better than the Subaru grille... might be time to visit the eye doctor...

I'm a recent F30 owner (leaser haha) so I don't want to seem biased.

I sat in a 2019 330i, it was a big step up from my F30, albeit much bigger. Haven't driven it yet, can't tell if that will affect it's driving feeling or not. I'm also a novice 'spirited driver' so take my opinion with a massive grain of salt.

But it looks so overstyled, and has a lot of Japan it in (which isn't bad, just not what I would want out of a German car)

The build quality is spectacular, inside and out, but I am having a harder time getting used to the grille than the rear, and the RC/GS tail light really stood out when I first saw the reveal.

I will more than likely lease a G20 when my current one runs out (unless i get Porsche money) so I don't feel jealous, I'm going to enjoy my F30 until the eventual switch. But it just needs so much to make it look good, especially if you want a M340i. Black grilles (that look clunky at the moment) and a lot of M parts.

I saw someone on the road with a brand new F30 340i in metallic grey, m-sport, and blacked out grilles. It looked so elegant, yet sporty. I'm hoping the LCI closes the gap.

BMW should remove all ///M badging from true M cars.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous now.

Agreed! All of the sudden all M-sport cars are m240 m340 m550 and so on. Fake M.

If my 2018 340 M-sport came with m340 badges and M badges on fenders I would be debadging first day

I kinda love this idea... remove the M badges from true M cars.. reverse psychology!

that way they can stand out uniquely again.. instead of "M3" just "3", "M5" becomes "5"
