Not a fan of the body lines on the G series

My problem with the G series is that the dash and buttons are the same (3 series, 8 series, 1 series, x5, z4, etc). Also on the G05 the rear light cluster reminds me of a Ford focus, smax, etc and it is more boxy. However, the front end is growing on me.

Really need an F95 next to an F85 for a fair comparison. I saw an F96 in the flesh for the first time the other day, it looked sick tbh!

M vs non-M is not a fair comparison. Give me the M every time. White on the F85 looks so right.

In the second photo I posted it is my previous Dinan StageII F85 with my current M50i. Closest comparison I am able to do at the moment. When I get an F95 I will post again in the same location for a more accurate comparison but from a profile shot there isn't much difference outside of the gills. Overall silhouette is similar enough for a vague comparison IMO.

According to BMW the M50i in the second photo is an M just the diet coke version:

Agreed but for me - F85. ALL. DAY! Current gen (F95) just doesn't do it for me. But I LOVE everything about the F85! Hopefully next gen will be better than current!

The lines and movement on the F85/F86 are so much better. There are a few bits on the G series that are better like extended shadow line or the competition option being a cohesive look. The G series front bumper looks better.

Yeah, I have to agree. The white F85 looks perfect to me. Everything in perfect balance and harmony. The new one looks great too 👍🏻
