Is the G30 Hood as much longer than the F10 as it looks?

The front bumper, it sticks out noticeably further than the F10's.

Front overhang is 37mm more on the G30, than the F10.

I've test driven G30 and have ordered one just yesterday. Coming from Toyota Camry the 5er is brilliant in interior feel but did not impress the heck out of me performance-wise. My wife was very impressed thought. I suspect features like Dynamic Damper Control and Anti-roll bars available with the Adaptive Drive option can make a huge deal of difference, and thus I wouldn't judge on a single review. Like all new stuff, we're gonna love it in a few years and think "how could we doubt it before".

I may be in the minority but I like the simpler, more classic interior of the f10 which doesn't have that awful screen sticking out of the dash and has much less "bling" (read: to sell to the Chinese). The standard seats are also better for me than the G30 sports seats. But I do understand how opinions may differ.

european countries have different standards for roads. Houston's roads are worse than third world countries in so many areas.
