Former F10 owner here...who considered his F10 one of the most beautiful sedans ever seen.

To me the G30 is better in 95% of the design. Things I don't like:

The chrome trim on the Breather. It's not even the fact that I don't prefer the chrome, I just don't like the way it looks "tacked on". Would prefer it to be more subtly integrated into the bodywork. And not chrome, lol.

Exhausts...don't like 'em, period. Too fussy. The 550's are much better, as are the 530's.

Lower grille opening LED's. Horrible. Get rid of 'em. What's with the bulky, individual looking bulbs? Are we 2000's Audi S5 here? Or maybe a Kia? It's a bad look BMW, get rid of it. You want LED's? Get with the times and get a light pipe or OLED style. 2" wide individual lamps scream DATED.

Beer tap style shifter...kill this already. The SAT shifter from the F10 was SO much more pleasing than this awkward angular joystick. I know you've toned it down and smoothed it out but come on.

Otherwise, this is a very nice update and a sharp looking car, as someone else said.
