I think it was Lambo that started the forged CF trend. And it's certainly picking up steam.

If I was in the market for such a car, I'd take this (minus several "m" performance) add-on's over any other 4 door hatch I've seen.
If you compare this car to the Mercedes......I'd take the Mercedes and it isn't close. It pains me to say this.

The rear end of the car looks super sick. Reminds me a little of the X5M. The taillight design looks super sick. But the front is just disgusting.
"Forged Carbon Fiber"
I love this.

Clearly the WRX/STI crowd. The M135 it's AWD.

Boy, this is bad... and actually the more I'm seeing the new 1er the more I'm disliking it, normally the new BMW designs have had the opposite affect on me. Another blog posted side by side pics of the Audi compared to the new 1er and the Audi looks so more more handsome and classic, I do think the BMW has a nicer interior and wins that over Audi.

The Merc A Class AMG wins easily in this upscale performance hatch, with a Golf R following closely.

But on a different note, imagine being the person tasked with writing these press releases

"We made stickers and paper-mache carbon things and painted the calipers red and added ///M to everything we could see and now we have blessed you peasants with DRIVING DYNAMICS because BMW and M PERFORMANCE!!"

A brochure distilled into a few lines - when can I take the job?

Forged carbon looks terrible. Looks terrible on a lambo, looks a thousand times worse on an entry level BMW. Dear god.

How many of the general public will be assuming the laquer has started to peel off these parts as you go about your daily life!

I also wish Bmw would GTFO with these horrid horrid black vinyls down the doors. Jesus wept!

Basic car looks like a Ford Focus and the M Performance bits are dire. What is going on at BMW. Their new designs are absolute pants. I won't be swapping my M140i for this
