the 2er is growing on me a bit....but it needs a shot of character. I hope the 235 styling gives it a bit of boost in the attitude department!
As one who had 3 of the 2002s back in the day, and a number of other BMWs over the years, the current 1 Series, and hopefully, the upcoming 2 Series, are the apex of what BMW is all about for me. Badge snobs can look elsewhere.
