Looks like you got a better side profile view that I did. I was able to open the trunk and the opening seemed reasonable to me, didn't measure or anything but I wasn't too concerned.
FYI, things like hard plastic around the gear shift are also there on the F30 so BMW didn't specifically cheap out for the 2 series. However, I would agree that in reviewing the CLA again (which is ugly to me so not even under consideration), the interior which I also don't like because of that tiny thick tom tom nav and millions of buttons has better leather seats with nicer contrast stick detail and seems to have leather on more surfaces vs plastic.
Overall, I can't wait to test drive. Dealer's demo car is at the port in LA. Just waiting for BMW to release it! |
I was literally there when the show opened, so I was able to scamper back to where the BMW booth is (way in the back in Chicago) and try to get some decent shots.
I was really relieved to see how the car looked in person, especially from the front, which is just so nice in my opinion. The back isn't perfect by any means, but it will work for me.
As far as the test drive goes, I am hoping to snag one too before my car makes it to the US. It is somewhere in the Atlantic right now, hopefully at "ramming speed"
