The F01/F02 was PERFECT IMO. I honestly think the g11 pictures gave me ADD because I can't seem to focus on one part of the car, its just too damn busy. Also kinda looks like the monstrosity that was the 550i GT.

If you are upset about the C class looking like the S, how do you feel about the new 7 series getting its entire design language from the 3 series. At least MB made the base model look like the flagship, BMW made it the other way around.
Have you ever had a BMW before? If not- I can't wait to hear the loud complaints first timers have. Such as:
To shut of the car you press the stop button. Then take your foot off the brake then hit he stop button again. Every. Single. Time. God forbid you forget to remove your foot from the brake because you will just restart your car. Even the most seasoned BMW loyalist will sheepishly admit to this.
To leave the car you have to pull the door handle twice. Nope, that's not a joke. The first pull of the handle unlocks the door. The second pull opens the door. Try to never have a passenger in the car, they will invariably ask you what's wrong with the car.
You will absolutely love the auto wipers that are manual. Because with BMW in order to use the auto wipers you have to turn them on. Every time you drive. Only BMW can redefine automatic as really manual. Kind of like how it was faster to mail in your Obamacare application than do it online in the beginning. Only the U.S. Government could make snail mail faster than the web. Sorry I digress.
How about not being able to close your trunk with the remote? Nope, hands only baby- we at Bavarian Motor Werks want you to touch and feel your car as much as possible. We love her, I mean really really love her. You should too. I mean you will, or else.
How about not being able to control the rear side shades from the front. Nope, that's not your window so you should leave your grimy hands off. Leave the car wash with one shade up? Pull over, get out and fix it. Because at Bavarian Motor Jail we want you to see just how nice your back seat is. You know you never get to see it, I mean you haven't done THAT since college. Now a days you have to put it on your calendar, much less spontaneously exploring the generous space we have given you in the back seat.
At Bavarian Metal Jail we feel you should be safe. But just in case you ignore our supreme knowledge we will make you read a legal disclaimer. Every time you get in the car, in case you forgot. Oh, and in order to use the nav screen you will have to sign a legal waiver by hitting agree. Every. Single. Time.
One more thing. At BMJ we insist you do not know what temperature you want the car to be. So we have turned your automatic climate control into a manual one (see, you already consider this normal). The center vents will blow ice cold air in winter and heat in summer no matter what temperature you select. Unless you take our orders to touch your car again. Love your car, caress it. We love it and so will you. So we make you turn a manual dial from hot to cold to confirm what temperature you wish to have. And it will stay at that temperature until your next glorious experience touching your car again.
Oh, and because we know you love us at BMJ more than your family, community, country and your God, we will have you visit us as often as possible. Unexpectedly too. Don't worry though, after your first year or two you will consider this totally normal. You will look forward to your visits and all of the things I have mentioned here. Because this is the ultimate driving machine. Say it again, believe it, chant it. And whatever you do please never drive a Cadillac. For some unexplainable reason people have dissapeared from our world after doing such a dastardly thing.
