I'm going in. Edit a few hours later, struggled to see much support for the car in the comments. Universal flame it seems

Hmm... Is this supposed to be a review? Some dude with an "///M"235i? A satire piece? An SNL skit? Either way, can't imagine anything too great about this car if someone is looking to get into BMWs (this is a brand-entry vehicle, right?) One would be better served with a 2 series coupe or an older 3-series coupe or sedan. I just do not like the looks of the car. Will test drive soon so that I have more experience behind the wheel so that any comments good or bad are legit.

[QUOTE=Lady Jane;26136657]I had a chance to drive one and I liked it. I feel sorry for the 'purists".
No need to be sorry. To each his/her own. I’m sure that some would even enjoy a FWD turbo-diesel Porsche 911... |

I like it because you wouldn't know it's FWD. It has lots of power and the fit and finish is just as good as mine for a lot less. Vote with your wallet. |

I understand why the 2 series grandcoupe exist, I don't understand why this trim level exist.
both the Civic type r and Veloster N are better FWD performance cars and the VN is half the price. I don't see BMW fan boys buying this and it's definitely not an enthusiast car. AWD you have the golf R and STI, even with Subarus garbage interior is still choose a headgasket eater over this |

I've been driving mine for a week now after ditching my previous m2. This car is fast, it is roomy, full of tech, and it is a sleek looker too!
