Same. This car is a lot better looking both inside and outside than the F30.

I am not so sure about that. My guess is that the picture shows some sort of luxury type trim level where the shifter is column mounted. Mercedes has moved to this setup in most its cars and it would not be surprising to have BMW follow.

To me, the G20 exterior looks like an F30 facelift/LCI..
Minus the new light tech, this G20 looks like it was designed at the same time, the F30 was..

Hope it looks better in real life

raqautle · 10-01-2018, 11:29 AM

The interior look nice but not sure if I like the exterior, especially the back end. Doesn't look German or BMW, more Japanese. The lines on the side are nice.

They've been legal for a while now. I'm definitely ordering them, makes the car look meaner.

What I'm wondering is why the first blue M-Sport has no LED fog lights but the second one does?

This right here is why BMW has turned into what it's turned in the past years.

Instead of buying the car to drive or laser lights because they're safer on the highway at night, people buy these cars for their status or because they look meaner.

Autos are faster than manuals, etc etc... shame

I'm pretty sure there are more M badges on an M340i than a real M car, which I can't quite wrap my head around.

I considered debadging my M4, but the black competition package badge blends in to the black paint so well I left it. It's pretty subtle.

Read a couple pages before. Confirmed computer rendering error.

RPiM5 · 10-01-2018, 11:31 AM

Number one reason reason why I like the G20, it looks nothing like the F30. Good job BMW!

I like it. They're making it look like the M2 front without the hideous M2 back.

Couldn't agree more, to many angles to work out in the rendering. Need to see it in the flesh. But first knee jerk reaction is — front end looks like a Lexus and a BMW had kid together, but then over the years the kid, like his idol Micheal Jackson, felt lonely and disconnected from the world even though he was fantastic as he was. Eventually the kid started down a path of multiple facial reconstruction surgeries and now it's a 2020 bmw 3 series.

Man that Lexus M340i looks nice! Joking aside, I really like the look of the car. Can't wait to see it in person!

psuibmw · 10-01-2018, 11:36 AM

BMW kept us on our toes for long

just reveal the damn thing

gemini.m3 · 10-01-2018, 11:36 AM

Meh. Will need to see in person to reserve final judgement. It looks too busy upfront, almost civic like. Hopefully m3 will look better. Love the tails. Headlights are meh.

spuntyb · 10-01-2018, 11:37 AM

I said this on Jalopnik already, but stating it here for completeness. It looks schizophrenic. Is it a Lexus? C class? BMW? I don't know because it borrows design cues and lines from all 3. It just looks confused, and lacks the timeless, simple, and distinctive lines of previous 3ers.

Prissy · 10-01-2018, 11:42 AM

Wow this look 100 times better than F30 when it launched.

xcusem3 · 10-01-2018, 11:42 AM

Looks a lot like the current "C" class from Mercedes, no love from me on this generation (there was none for the f30 either lol)

SM2 · 10-01-2018, 11:42 AM

That interior looks like a huge improvement.

Likely drives that much better too. Of course nearly everything does.

They always make 2 options available like led & xenon. Base vs full loaded (cheap vs expensive)You can see the steering wheel and cluster mix across image. It's up to you what you want to buy for your car

WestCoast76 · 10-01-2018, 11:53 AM

How much hp for the M340i ?

Otherwise, looks stunning this M340i, I kike it a lot

I am looking forward to seeing the first real pictures tomorrow.

I believe that it will be part of a package rather than an indidivual option. I wouldn't be surprised if BMW includes it in a package with navigation or something else that most people will want. Like a moon roof which I think is worthless, you will be forced to accept something you don't care for to get something you do.
