You really think this bastardized FWD will have great driving dynamics? I'm a purist and there is nothing pure (or beautiful) with this car. FWD chassis with an AWD conversion, electronic steering, automatic transmission, multiple electronic interference with the suspension, etc. I'm pretty sure your 335 has way more dynamics than this hunchback from Munich.

The M235i has the same 0-60 as the E92 M3, so it could perhaps be worse?
As has already been said, you do need to see it in the flesh, as in pictures, it looks too Japanese (no offence to Japanese people).

Here in the U.K. you can't buy an M550i because too many go for the 520d.

Why would they make the back so high and not at least make it a full hatchback? If you're gonna make it ugly, at least give it a functional use so that it's not a complete waste.

I wonder if they plan a Touring? (I mean á là 3 Series Touring, not the 2 Active Tourer) I mean, if you're going to compromise on FWD and 4-cyl, then a Tourer is the upside to the compromise. A 'new' 2 Touring would still be longer than my first BMW E30 3 Series Touring back in 1989:
Sadly, both myself and the BMW range have suffered somewhat from middle age spread since then: my 325i Touring above was 170.3" long and the current 2 coupé is 178.5" long. Another retrograde step is that the wipers on those headlights worked way, way better than the hopeless sprayers on my M235i.

Somehow Audi makes their smaller cars still look premium. I feel this new BMW looks more like a Toyota Corolla. Maybe they worked together on it like they did the Supra?

Just so we remember what a decent handling RWD 4-door sub-compact BMW used to be like (and yes, I can still fit my 2 kids in the back when I take it out on weekends). As for diesel dying like a dinosaur - sure, but I'll likely daily drive my e92 for the next 10 years or so until an affordable electric comes out based on the styling of a lot of the new BMW models now. |
