Yes. I never liked white that much until I saw an new M5 comp in it last week. This also looks great.
Would like to see it in black and grey in real life.

The white shows off the lines very well. It looks so aggressive.
Here's my 10 minute G22 430i M-Sport. I had to stick the fake air vent on the side for my own satisfaction. I would totally drive this Frankenstein's creation. You're welcome BMW |

They definitely moved away from a Germanic design theme but overall I'm liking this M-Sport. Definitely better implementation that on the 5 series which just doesn't pop. The interior looks like it's catching up to Audi, and with this much HP and initial positive reviews on dynamics, this will be a success for BMW. I'm just excited to have an option with my M3 lease coming up not year.

I'll never understand how a large successful company like BMW has a huge budget to hire the best marketing talent in the world, and whomever they enlisted decided to launch the new 3 series in that that pathetic blue color that hides all the body lines. When I first saw the car in that color, it looked bland and dull, worse than the old design, until I saw the white color shown in this thread and was very impressed with how aggressive and modern it looks. A car company should never choose a color that hides body lines when debuting a vehicle, as this makes the car look boring and lackluster, so I cannot understand how that blue color they selected ever survived the approval process.

It also looks too similar to the current gen Estoril Blue. Someone at BMW has a hard-on for blue and grey. |

Blue happens to be my favorite car color but if I were working for BMW in charge of launching a new model, I'd only pick shades that show the body lines of the car as well as that white color does. There is no reason to hide all the work the designers put into making the car appear aggressive and modern when all it takes is picking the right metallic color to accentuate the car's contour.

Have you seen it in person? If not, I suggest that you reserve judgment until you do. I have far too often seen cars in person that look so much better than they do in photos, including my F80 M3. You might still hate it, but as for example the competition package rims on my F80 which look hideous in pics and great in person, I always wait to render a final verdict until after seeing the car or rim in the flesh.

I gotta say this car is starting to look very 5 series. That's great if you aspired to own one. It looks large and fat and barge like. Will have to see it on the street of course to decide. But looking at it first words come to mind are luxury, big, expensive and not speed, sport, nimble, 4 door sports car

Looks even more like the IS-350.

I like the G20. I have a feeling the driving experience is going to win a lot of people over. That being said, I think these pictures make me like the design less.... At least the side. That lower side character line is not jiving with me. Can't wait to see an M340i in person to really form an opinion.
