[MarkDemma]

The color changing interior panels look pretty cool. And I like the tail lights.

Hopefully they will make their way into the update for the 2 Coupe, except it will be RWD, offer a M240i with a B58 engine and manual transmission.

[GOLFFRR]

like I said in the other thread, its nice for what it is and what its after. I really like the interior

[Mb_1993]

I actually don't Hate this but it looks like a Kia had a baby with a Buick

[KRS_SN]

say good things or stay quiet. I'll get my coat now.

[Penguino]

The proportions remind me of a corolla.

[jmg]

I appreciate the rear boot's sporty up-kick, but the proportions are a little weird from the back. It almost looks like a SAV from the rear.

holy ugly. time to switch to merc or porsche

[andrewsd]

Every BMW has the same interior now. It's so boring. 2 series - 8 series same wheel, same buttons, same screen, same layout.

I get it, saves a ton of money on parts, assembly, and R&D... but can we at least have different tachometers? It's just a software skin.

[EricJTsang]

I think if they get pricing right, this will be a hit. Also, hoping base models don't look as plain as a basic 3 series.

[Teutonic]

Ok-ish car, wrong engine mount and traction...
It seems that the IDIOT who loves that hood line was not fired yet...

Could have been that enthusiast RWD little unicorn.
But BMW said no, so is nothing different than others...

[Dveshawn]

Something isn't right, but I can't put my finger on it

[SpenceRx]

Interesting color choices. Snapper rocks blue isn't very popular but I like it.

[Gdiddy23]

So will they continue making the M240i coupe w inline 6???

If they don't they'll be making a stupid decision. The only good press these days that they get is from the 2 series/M2 and its basically their halo car right now. They need to keep the coupe RWD, w/ an inline 6, and a manual.

The 2 series is the only reason I currently have a bimmer in the garage, so I hope the coupe keeps its winning formula, otherwise, I guess I'll be jumping ship!

Where would you go? Porsche, Mustang, Camaro, challenger, and BRZ are the only options I can think of. I'm stuck unable to afford a Porsche, not trusting American built cars, and not willing to take such a drastic power loss on the brz/frs

[Ragnarok]

Jesus that is ugly. What's with the Chevy Sonic headlights? No turbo 6 option? What is going on at BMW?! Everything is horrible looking.
