Both the E90 and the F30 have more or less the same general shape imo. When you look in detail though I would say the F30 overall design is a refinement of the E90 exception would be the hoodline though.

Sorry, but you keep saying things like this as if it's unusual. Aside from the front and rear clips and change in overall size, I still have to really concentrate on telling a B5, from a B6 from a B7 to a B8, even though I've owned three different Audii from two generations. Of course the 911 has nearly 50 years of practically identical side profile going and it still looks great. Not every car needs to be completely reworked every generation, and a Hoffmeister kink and a few other basic styling elements do strongly identify a BMW, so it's unlikely to change anytime soon.
