Judging strictly on exterior looks (which is of course a very limited way to judge a car, and one that doesn't really track with the overall ownership experience), I think the F32 is in all material respects worse than the E92, which was worse in all material respects than the E46 coupe. I don't think BMW has made a car since the E46 M3 that could compare to the looks of that car. (I am admittedly biased in that I own one, but I also own an E90 and can concede that it is far from beautiful.)
As for the F30 vs. the E90, I do think the F30 looks better from the back, and as good or better from the side, but I HATE the front end of both the F30 and F32. I just can't get used to that schnoz, and I particularly hate the pedestrian-safety-oriented straight edge at the front of the hood. On the other hand, the pre-LCI front end on the non-M E90 is no great shakes either . . .
