If you can't see that, I dunno what to say.

I prefer to see things when they actually happen, thank you very much.

It happens then it happens, otherwise all I see is wishful thinking here and a product which is very little to make it any different, different than a M135i and a 435i, other than its size and body style. And I do care because it matters to me when BMW launches new small coupes.

You prefer to think that I bash it because I own a 1M; as a matter of fact, I don't bash it, I just voice a slight disappointment because it is not as distinct as I would like it to be.

You don't like what I say, don't like it, but last time I checked this was a public forum for people to post whatever they feel right; and I feel that there is a lot wrong about BMWs getting too similar to each other and when someone with zero notion (not you) tries to put this car in the same basket with a car like 1M this is a bit beyond acceptable, yes!
