I couldn't agree more with this comparison. They especially look alike from the rear three quarter view particularly with the dark m performance fin on the white bmw.

Sad to say the Audi looks way more modern, balanced, well designed, and up to date. Disappointing for BMW. The front end of the 3-series looks like it's been infected by a parasite.

Audi's virtual cockpit definitely better than BMW. And sport seat looks a lot better.

I see more Audi than Lexus in the rear. I'm a 4er so going to have to wait to see that car before I decide to jump ship or not.

The new design of G20 has grown on me. I prefer it over A4.

Put black kidneys on the front of the BMW and shadowline, and I think it'll change the look of the BMW a lot. I've had the good fortune of having an Audi, BMW and Mercedes, and BMW has always been behind on interiors. However, I think that ultimately BMW's are more lively and fun to drive than Audi's. I just don't like them. They feel so borning. They look good, and more modern, but BMW's just seem to appear more to me when it comes to overall feel.

Disagree. The Audi looks outdated and boxy.

That Audi looks like something from 2008. Totally irrelevant design.

might want to do some research on the DSG problems when it was used on the B8 S4. Also Audi has had oil burning problems on their 2.0T engines for awhile and still haven't fixed it. B9 S4 had or has some early engine problems from the looks of it.
Just a warning from former Audi owner.
That said the Audi A4 looks cleaner in design.

I'm biased because I love BMW but the new 3 series looks way meaner in the front and back than the Audi. I'm voting for the BMW

Front tires on the 3er look like about as wide as a bicycle tire...just draws your eyes.

Honestly, both cars are pretty boring.

I'd love to see a comparison to a Lexus. May look too close for comfort though!

it's honestly not. just because there are two cars, they have four wheels, and blue paint doesn't mean they "look the same".

Invert the A5 / S5's sculpted tail lights and they are reminiscent of the new G20. The new 3er is a handsome overall package. Proportions are where BMW designers seem to nail it.

IMO, they both look great.

It's a close call. I think the G20 looks slightly better than the Audi

Looking messy does not equate to modern.

Audi looks very 2010.
3er takes the lead

I'm sorry the G20 has much more character on the exterior design. The Audi is too restrained, sensible, and plain (boring?) looking. Like an accountant. One that day dreams about having some fun. Then, after realizing 2 minutes were wasted on nonsensical contemplation, straightens the pens on the desk and is back to work.
