To be fair I think aside from bangles run with designs, BMWs have always looked pretty similar. The 5 and seven are hard to tell apart now as well. And pre 2003 they all look about the same. Which is inherent with the kidney, circular light design language on all of them.

2 series hands down for me! Especially the m235i, a perfect all around car.

The 2 series would be perfect if only HUD was available

Like the 2,
Happy I have the 335 And think the 4 is butt ugly. Seen all 3 live and the F30 looks the best in M-sport. The M235 look like more fun though. Lastly, happy I didn't get EB2 it's the goto color apparently. |

another observation is how much better the body colored mirrors look on the 2 .... as opposed to the grey/silver mirror ugliness on the M235i.
the 2 headlights are waaaaay better than the 3/4. stretching them to the grill looks odd. really need to see the 2 on wider aggressive 19" wheels |

I'm kinda dissapointed with the 3 coupe (4) with this model.
In these pics, i'd rather pick the 3, then the 2, 4 comes in last in my judgment. Sad. Nice comparison though!

Isn't that by design? The signature front of the BMW...the rest of the car is what should look different IMO. I'm not a rigid traditionalist or BMW apologist though -- I actually think they are overdoing the kidney grills (see i8). Sometimes things are better understated.

The 2 & 3 series have more presence than the 4 series.
BMW tried too hard to make the 4-series look elegant, or sexy.. making it look like a "bitch car", instead of upright & muscular..! (squared off) The 4-series look like someone was giving the 3-series estrogen, so women have something sleek & elegant to drive. Good to know BMW is targeting women for the 4-series, as it looks like it should be in a fashion show. Most men, like things that represent virility, testosterone & are mean looking. Something with a stance..! The 4-series is just too metro-sexual, IMO. |

Seems clear opinions are all over the place for all kinds of reasons. I mean personally, I think the 1 series is the ugliest bmw I can remember. It has it's positives, but I just hate the roof and how much it is pulled in from the sides of the car. It looks beetle-esque from certain angles. Too tall and bubbly. But hey, so many people love it.
I am getting a 2. But I also like the 4 quite a bit. Though I liked it more in person than in pictures for sure. But that's because I really loved the way the 6's look, and the 4 is reminiscent of a smaller 6. |
