Not so much defensive as I am tired of reading the comments. I do not own a 3-series and don't ever plan to (unless BMW gets wise and brings the Touring here), so I have no skin in the game. Just hate stupid, unfounded comments and had to call some of you out for it. I do feel better now. How about those sedatives...
It's a forum full of thousands of members with thousands of opinions. If you can't agree to disagree, or appreciate that not everybody shares the same subjective opinions, then maybe forums aren't the place for your SJW-like sensibilities. I have plenty of skin in the game being a long time BMW driver. I'm entitled to criticize just as much as the next man or woman. I love you!
You absolutely are entitled to criticize as you wish, but you frequently do so in a condescending manner, as if anyone who doesn't share your perspective has an invalid opinion or must be some kind of idiot. That is just not necessary. Just make your comments and leave the attitude out of them.
No. I'm actually relatively neutral. Nothing is a judgment. Sensitive types read too into things.

Agree, it's one thing to have a objective critique but to trash someone's vehicle is just wrong.Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I wonder if they would say it in person.
Oh now don't be so obtuse. I mean that playfully. Nobody "trashed" anybody's vehicle. Talk about being extremely liberal with a response. I don't think anybody in this thread said anything negative about the car, and nothing was said that even remotely resembles a trashing. Geez! Even those who responded about not liking black wheels, etc. still left the OP a favorable comment about his car and color choice.

Just beautiful and your mods/add-ons really complete the look.

The color reminds me of my 03 Sonic Blue Kenne Bell Cobra. My favorite color ever.

Enjoy yours in great health!

The outline of the tail lights, the internal bulb design of the tail lights, the side profile and character lines, the exhaust, the lip spoiler, etc. are all completely different!! Again, what are you tripping on and why are you guys totally stuck on the whole Lexus thing? It's beyond old at this point. If you're going to mock the design, at least point out some objective evidence to back up your claim.

Not trying to jack the OP's thread but nevertheless, you want a reply you'll get one. A) You need to relax. B) It's an opinion. C) That being said you wanted objective points, here you go: the taillights on the ES have similar shading albeit with different shapes, a la reminiscent of a Lexus; the edge of the trunk has sloping lines, similar to each of the Lexus'; the body line that runs into the rear quarter panel, while softer on the G20, is similar to the Lexus. Also, the Lexus' have a sharper version of the Hoffmeister kink, which they took from BMW. To me, it's just the rear and not much else on the G20 but that has always held true that the 3 has had a similar design carryover from the prior gen. You could see the evolution, you can't here.

I've owned 4 BMWs, my current one being an E92, rest assured I'm not a "butthurt Lexus fanboy" (common defense of objectors to Lexus similarity comments). If anything I want the BMW to look different than a Lexus to preserve BMWs unique design. That's why I'm vociferous about it. IMO the 3 lost its unique design, especially with this generation. Car companies copied the 3 for a reason, not the other way around...

No harm, that's funny, I dont think bbn I have ever been called obtuse. I was always raised to respect others and be careful about the way you come across to others. It bothers me when I see really critical responses in the thread. Right and a wrong way to say you dont like someone's car. Thanks for your response.

I get the overall gist of your response, and I agree that decorum should be employed.....


..but, it's a forum. People, in general, shouldn't be so thin skinned, especially when criticism comes in the form of anonymity.

I don't think the G20 looks like a Lexus, especially in person. However, you can't change what people see. I'm sure a lot of people are just having a little fun with it, too.
