I think it will look better in real pictures as opposed to these computer generated images.

Love the interior. Undecided on the exterior. There's something about the headlights I don't like.

Seems like unnecessary complication. Progress through backwards steps.

Yes, a little lower, but same general functionality, so once you get used to where it is the movement of hand to button will be much the same.

The standard LED headlights do look very odd, quite ugly in fact, and the DRL’s are very basic shape like the ones on the F30 LCI halogen headlights!

Prefer this?

To be fair, it may look better in person as this is just a rendering
but its got some issues in terms of styling lines
everyone different
I myself like understated flowing lines..not all this busy stuff
love the e90s 2-door coup's lines .. very elegant

Yeah ... it's about as disproportionate as Barry Manilows nose!

[RustyBitz]

Is it me or does it look like a Mercedes?

Hate the square exhausts on the M340i love the seats though.

Side looks like C class, front and rear are pure Lexus imo.

When I look at exterior lines, it kind of reminds me of Infinity Q50...not that it is a bad thing.

Yes definitely some Q50 in there!

[Mani59]

I think the Q50 from the front looks much nicer!

I do hope the G20 front looks better in the metal, a far too busy design and lost all elegance. I note someone refers to the Honda Civic… that is what I was thinking. Not to my taste at all. Makes the G30 front look quite tame by comparison.

sorry the rims are killing it for me
if I imagine nicer rims on
it may pull off the look
that and a wide lowered look
that IS350 upward curve on the sides.. eh

Yes the newer the BMW, the bigger the grilles! Makes last years models grilles look small, like the X3’s, I thought they had huge grilles but since looking at the new X5 it makes the X3’s look small!

Apologies if I've missed this somewhere but have we had clarification as to whether the M340i will be available in RWD in the UK or is it going to be X-Drive only?

According to this UK article, the Lexus, sorry BMW G20 will be offered in RWD..?

[Steveo.G]

I agree looks like a 2 series from the rear... A bit like the love child of a C class and a 2 series.
I'm liking this a lot!
Is there going to be a new 4 series??? Think that could look awesome if it's like this
