The coupe variant better not come out looking like a Lexus and a Honda mated.

Much better.

The F30 just looked like the beautiful E90 got hit with the ugly stick. Awkward front end, plain rear, dorky interior styling.

This new car shits on the F30 in every conceivable way.

Front: A layman/bystander wouldn't be able to tell the two BMWs apart. But man that F30 hood line looks hideous.

Back: G20 looks better to me since it's lower and wider.

This thing needs M-Sport to look decent.

Why do BMW insist on making every new model bigger....

And that's all before you even drive the horrible thing. Haven't missed ours for a second.

The F30 looks better IMO because it sticks to a design language that's more classically BMW, whereas with the G20 if you took the badges off it is hardly recognizable as being a BMW, let alone a 3 series!!

I like the front end of the new set up but the rear still needs to grow on me. Im sure in time I will like it and also when I see it in person ill be able to really take it all in and then make a final judgment

Yeah those taillights really throw me off. They are the definition of generic sporty taillights.

Those rear lights with the white part along the top and red on the bottom just makes me think of grampa's Lexus.

Or a Honda Accord. I bet they'll remove it for the LCI.

the cheap bumper inserts in the rear and in the front look exactly the same, I wonder if its a cost saving technique...

I hope you're right, but I'm not so sure.....they've made it clear that the red/gray taillight design is what they're going to go with moving forward, as indicated by the 7 LCI, 8 series, X4, X5, Z4.....

I like the G, looks like an improvement over the already handsome F. I like all the 3 series from e36 onward. It's the one car where I think each generation was handsome for its time

This is how you make a boring, pedestrian 3 series re-gain road presence again. Good job BMW !

Glad G20 did not follow the boring a$$ design language of the larger G30 sibling.
