No they're almost the same as the GS. All the way through the L shaped lighting. VERY Lexus inspired and undeniably so.

I'm glad finally someone did a side by side so you can clearly see they do not look alike.

I thought the rear looked similar to a Lexus (IS more so, GS slightly) but now that I see them side by side I see it less. The top portion of the trunk still looks like the IS though. Still too similar for me but I'm sure it will grow on me, although the F30 never really did…

The form language of those tail-lights is not the same. If you think it is I'd go get your eyes examined.

Wtf, if anyone can see the resemblance of these two cars, you need glasses, or are high! The copy talk, Let's just call it, remember E46 anyone? G20 will eat these cars for breakfast!

I think it is this one that gets people onto lexus, the GS, not IS.
To IS comparison is weak, but design elements on tails are there if you get this kind of angle: Also, what the hell, so many people getting butthurt someone dared to find some similarities in styling between cars? Thin skin crowd or what. In peoples minds the car just happened to resemble LExus they see on streets due to all the swoops and fussiness in design. Its not great. Its subjective also so next time someone doesnt like the design you do, just move on, dont get all hot under the collar.

A flat photo from the back doesn't tell the whole story. Look at this video which has close-ups of the exterior. The car, yes even the rear, is unmistakably BMW. It's beautiful.

It looks like a Lexus and I'm the Prince of Whales.
LOL!

The comparisons are ridiculous. Alot of cars look alike but obviously you'll know that's a 3 series when that taillight is on at night driving past you!
Also which one of these cars drive like a 3 series? Just checking..... |

One more pic to the mix
I'm guessing most people who says it resembles a Lexus refer to the previous IS model not the current one |

I've said it looks like a Lexus from the rear, but not the IS. I was thinking about the RC, and I still stand by that.
