Please remember it is a Work in Progress rendering with some features over exaggerated. With better resolve it looks modern,fresh and stylish.
Front.

The G20 will look nothing like that at all. Miniaturized larger cars isn't an approach BMW has ever taken. That's Audi and Merc.

The next 3 will look much closer to the current. We've already seen spy shots in Camo.

What are you talking about?
The 3er is not testing yet.

Let's just hope the rendered kidney grilles are over exaggerated. Dear Lord!

Overall,i like what i am seeing !

We still have at least 3 years before seeing the final look

[SCOTT26]

This is a bit more clearer, not exact but shows where It can go when everything is in proportion.

[swagon]

So we can except 7er-like front end with angry headlights and even more angular angel eyes?

I really really hope we're just seeing the effect of some bad drugs the artist took that morning.

This article came out months ago, I wanna say even before the 340 was announced. I read it in the magazine

I actually like that!

[BimmerMat135]

The front is acceptable, but the rear

[Labeef]

I hope the kidney grills do not get larger like on the new x1 and 7 series. It ruins the proportions of the vehicle. In addition, it would be nice if the overall size stayed the same or shrank by smidge. Regardless, I know BMW learned allot from the F30 and will not repeat the same mistakes

Its called the sausage design method. No matter to big or small a sausage is, they look the same.

Looks a lot like the current skoda superb to me...

[kadify]

Not sure if someone made mention of this yet but it looks like the new car might have a hood that goes completely to the grill rather than ending 3 inches before the grill.

The F30 is not a great car, worse than the previous-gen E90.

I owned both.

The steering is worse. The adaptive M suspension, even in sport mode, is worse (floaty and pitchy) than the previous-gen's static sport suspension.

There's a reason why the 3's losing comparison tests and Car And Driver's dropped it from its 10Best.

Also owned a current-gen 535i, which is a wallowy boat with overboosted, way-too-sensitive steering.

I hope BMW finds its way again.

In a month I'm leaving the brand, after nine years and the three aforementioned Bimmers.

I'm leaving for Porsche, which still caters to the driving enthusiast.

My Porsche has been built and is currently making its way home somewhere on the Atlantic.

Porsche is no different to BMW insofar as it's products have gotten softer and targeted at a different and wider demographic over the past 20 years.

Strangely enough I'm leaving the Porsche fold after 14 years of owning and driving the majority of their more hardcore products (964 RS, 993 RS, Mk 1996 GT3, 996 GT2, 996 GT3 RS, 997 GT3)
Their build quality and customer loyalty is well nigh non existent, their products slowly morphing into VAG/Audi based mediocrity.

Far from building cars for enthusiasts, they now build mass market cars for profit.
It's a shame they've traded engineering excellence for the sole goal of making bigger profits. BMW may no longer make superb drivers/M cars, but they'be not compromised their engineering prowess in the manner the bean counters at Stuttgart have forced their engineers to.
Good luck with whatever Porsche you've bought, I hope you enjoy it and it fulfills all your needs and expectations.

The impressions i get from this design speculation are the same than when we went from the E36 design to the E46.

In other words, I LOVE IT !!

And knowing this is just a rough unconfirmed design,i really like where this is going !

It is refreshing !

Way to go IMHO.
