FWD, no kink, it's a corolla
They managed to make an awesome series and then ruin it in record time

Rory gives a better overview in this video of the interior. Looks like they let folks come have time with the car in the UK

A perfect replacement to the e46 I use to have but with 118hp more than the 325. Sign me up. This fills the slot where the e46/90 use to be. The f30 got bigger and the g20 even bigger. All this hate from people that won't even be a buyer for this. This is a smaller sporty entry BMW for the young professional in their first job out of college. It gets them hooked on the brand and they move up to the 5er etc..

That's bad. Body panels look enormous, tiny windows, rake...

So BMW is officially making a front wheel drive automatic 4 cylinder car with no manual option?
Woah ... Interior is probably the best in its class. Exterior is probably the ugliest in its class. But people who can not afford and new BMW will buy the badge anyway. BMW design team has been losing so bad as of late!! |

Young professionals won't buy a car like this in today's climate. They'll look at the other cheaper and equally bland options and go for them instead. This is an absolute embarrassment to BMW

Your M2 is actually ///M.
This is a quasi ///m.

I absolutely love it. Every time I look at it, I can almost physically see the resale value of my M2 going up.

Disappointing, no ridiculous grille like the upcoming 4 series!!! I cry foul, if big brother has to wear stupid looking pants, so should little brother.... This really hurts, first they put the S55 into the M2, now this one gets a normal looking grille... it's back to the bottle for me.

This car with a front transverse mounted engine would have never been considered. That engine configuration puts it on the same field as any other compact fwd based vehicle. It's a travesty, but we should all be used to it after a few years with the X1/2. Maybe BMW determined that today's yuppies don't care about drivetrain layout, but I would argue you can always tell the difference in looks and feel. |
