Honestly... the G20 looks so sharp and nice in person... It honestly makes the F gen look outdated..

What a goofy color combo.
The badge should be only used for M3, M4 respectively

I miss my manual

Certainly a lot to like here, but that grill is a complete disaster. Hard to believe BMW would approve that. Just terrible.

Cerium is a metal that tarnishes or darkens when it gets wet. The picture shown is with the cerium polished so it looks more grey.

Yes, I agree, why Goodyear? Worst tires ever


You don't even know what they are. It's not an M for christ sake. They're probably more than capable.
Do you work @Goodyear why you offended I'm talking from personal experience ... also, anyone would rather have Continental or Michelin if you ask ... anyway, not saying you should agree to that

For what it's worth, my M550i has Cerium Grey trim & kidneys (on a Dark Graphite car) and it doesn't look nearly as "copperish" as some of the pics of the M340i appear.

Whoever approved that grill at BMW needs to be fired immediately. It's literally the first (and only) thing that your eye is drawn to when looking at the car. It ranks right up there with the Acura grill debacle from a few years ago.

It's a shame, because I'm actually ok with most of the other aspects (slab-sidedness being my only other gripe).

looks so much better with the non bronze wheels

at this stage - thinking i might go for one with those wheels, black out the rest of it, then upon delivery chrome the outside of the grilles and the exhaust so it looks like a regular 3 series because thats kind of why the 340 appealed to me in the first place, it looked regular

anyone wanna do this before i commit so i can make sure im into it? lol

It's all anecdotal anyway. You had bad. I had a good.

Not like tires spontaneously fail unless it's really crap.

I'm not in the market for this car, but if I were, I'd absolutely scratch it off the list for that hideous grill alone. It's the first thing that anyone will see when they look at your car and it's downright laughable. Do you really want that?

Speak with your wallets and let BMW know what a terrible decision they made...
