Compared to rival offerings in the same category, they all have things that bring them above the 2 series, for example the MB A35 AMG, the interior is just fantastic, great performance and you're not sitting 20 feet above the ground.... Cadillac CT4V, RWD LSD standard and can be bought new for 40k or less (MSRP is 45k, but no one pays that ever) with the awesome handling of the alpha platform.... thats just two options right there that are already heads and shoulders dynamically and aesthetically above the m235i GC.... BMW better start slashing prices or incentivize heavily, otherwise I see them sitting on lots for a while.
I see your point. However, it is all a matter of personal taste. Interior wise I like the BMW better. The Mercedes screen may look nice but in my opinion it is just a stretched ipad that looks tacky. Although my M235i does have almost every single option available, don't think that I paid even close to the 56K it was valued at with all of them. Second, I don't want RWD and the Cadillac didn't even make it to the shortlist. The new Audi S3 coming doesn't really excite me either. The M235i is different and I like it.

Thats not the most flattering picture. Each to their own. I've had nothing but compliments on mine for the way it looks.

And likewise we could post examples where it looks great due to the spec. I'd say that goes with most car models especially if they're base spec

But the car is not simply awful looking at all, every car will have a negative photo aspect. But you're just being pedantic aren't you...

They're not as solid as my A4 was when closing them, but it is a coupe and has no window frames so to be expected...

BMW has come up with some ugly models, but this? Stunning. No idea why some "experts" think otherwise.

Quite, just had a ceramic coat applied to mine, the detailer and anyone who visited his premises whilst my car was there thought it was stunning as well....

Why should BMW cars be only for enthusiasts? They're a minority of drivers who want cars to kill them in the wet anyway..
