Took a look at the G42 M240i xDrive at the dealer today. I have to say the construction quality is first rate and by the looks of it the shut lines are the best on any BMW and certainly at least as good as Lexus can achieve.
Here is a photo of the difficult area where the bonnet / hood meets the fender / wing and top of the bumper cover. The shut lines are very tight, consistent and even. The German made cars (3 and 5 series) have noticeably wider gaps, as does the Mexican assembled 3-series which is the same as the German ones, as do the US made X-series vehicles. Basically the shut line tolerances are reflective of the series engineering and current standard and the G42 looks as though that is taken to a new height with it being the latest model from an engineering perspective:
