I still don't understand why BMW is calling this a 2-series nonetheless a gran coupe.
BMW made a whole big deal that even = coupes and odd = sedans, only to introduce gran coupes. Ok fine, but this at least meant gran coupes would have "unique" or more couple like elements, to which I say, "where does the 2GC reflect this?" If anything this looks like a normal econobox sedan in the worst types of ways (BMW's version of a Ford Focus). So its neither a coupe nor a 4-door styled coupe, but just a sedan, so... why not call it a 1-series? It would make more sense being that the rest of the world has a FWD 1er hatch, as well as not bring in the confusion of the 2 series nameplate being on both a RWD and FWD based platform, and fill in the gap of BMW NA's lack of a 1-series in their lineup of vehicles.

I'm more amazed that the circle K on that corner became a 7-11.
Moved from Edgewater NJ to Pasadena CA in Jan of 2018. Things have changed!

Go get a 3 series. It'd be bigger and money better spent than one of these atrocious turds.

Style/fit/finish may be nice, but materials quality and feel are, as you say, much lower than the asian brands. Shockingly so when you sit side by side one after the other since your eyes are telling you one is 'better' but your other senses tell you it's worse. The c class is a bit better, but definitely still behind BMW in the 3 and 4. Again, the presentation of the car, lighting, layout, may photograph and appear better in the mercedes (and lets be honest, to most people that's the point), but tactile use is inferior (except that self close trunk, looove that self close trunk). Family just went from an E class to 5 series for this reason. The E looks waaaay better parked in the driveway and impresses people, but the 5 is just a better machine everywhere from the way the doors close, to the buttons, to the steering, etc. (except back seat is too upright).

Nothing other than the kidney grills screams "BMW" and even then, some may say the kidney's look more like a Kia grill. Even a new Mazda 3 is a much more attractive vehicle despite not being a luxury car. Not sure what is going on in BMW's design department right now, but a big change is needed.
