From the thumbnail/preview picture, it looks aggressive and sporty...that is until you reach the rear where it's awkwardly boxy. I know rears on BMW's are boxy but this one just looks off and a bit too high.

I can second that...I'm very worried about the new m3/m4.

No. I'm not getting used to it. I'm eyeballing the competition and seriously considering something not made by BMW

Such an ugly vehicle, literally shamed by vehicles like the Mazda 3 which are half of its price, what happened to BMW's design team?

The design team is being micromanaged by the suits.

A reskinned Mini. FWD and proportions that are simply not BMW. The bean counters have won, but the profits from these cars help go towards making the real M cars so I am all for having more of these type of "BMW's"

Kia/Huyndai gave BMW this design and in return BMW gave them Albert Biermann (Former chief engineer of BMW M).

Just buy a Golf R, people. Let's not encourage this behavior from BMW.
NO! No more FWD! Bad BMW!

M badge in a 4 cylinder. There were days that a V8 was minimum for an M ///M3 car.
Yeah don't tell me that technological advancement has cut that equation to half. I say more marketing even for a light car. Give the same V6 in G20 340i at least to justify that badge. Lower weight means nothing to me, it just scales down the power here. Pure marketing geniuses.

That would explain the lifeless side profile of the G20, as lazy as those Japanese 'designers'
