The G30 was a handsomely, boring to death design. Especially the hood which lacked any character. It was borderline a plain sheet of aluminum, unlike the nicely sculpted F10 hood.
Obviously design is something very subjective so I am not here to argue over that, it's just how I view G60 vs G30.
G60 will likely not age as gracefully as E39, but I bet a few generations from now people will sing the same old song...G60 was the last true bla bla bla...

Agreed the G60 has a nicely designed hood. It sort of has an E39 shape overall. I think its size, mainly height, makes it too much like a Camry or some other commuter sedan.
Design is definitely subjective. That’s why I think it will sell fine but I think those (me) that really love the G30/F90 design will have a hard time. I don’t think I’ll own a G60 just because I like cars that feel/are lower to the ground. But I can see why it doesn’t bother others.
I don’t think the G60 will be the last great anything. I think it’s designed more to be the first of something, with its more minimalistic interior design and full range of powertrains.
