They should have gone for an A5 style liftback shape. The problem is that having a sedan style trunk on a short coupe is what makes this look stubby. If they had gone for a liftback like A5 or A7, then the 2 series would have a much nicer design.

The third picture looks just like a mustang. But I think thats mostly because of the grille camo.
In one of the pictures I see a 6 Series with camo on the bumpers. It seems a little early for an LCI isn't it? Also is that the Ghost Coupe in the background of the next picture... Actually scratch that I think its a Bentley. |

Little piece of trivia for you all. Every car in that compound will eventually be crushed. Quote:
The car is very quiet in that it is well insulated to keep road noise to a bare minimum, it is almost similar to a 3er in how it drives if not a little more refined and just as quick. I ran a 320d till around this time last year till June and was impressed by the overall competency , I am hoping the 3er GT will return the same. The interior is first rate , there is higher standard of leather and individual stitching to lift the interior from its 3er origins. Cargo space is impressive but it is fitted with the roof attatched ski-rack. It will certainly be a talking point at its destination. The M-Sport Packet is stunning in reality. The wheels seen in the scooped LA picture are the optional 19"over the standard 18".

Sorry. Looks just like a 1 series with better headlights. Big deal.

The 2 series Coupe should be larger (to provide more shoulder room for driver and the front passenger). The technicians took the 1 series and made it to Coupe to save costs, and this is visible.
As it is now, it's cramped. I have already discussed this over a month ago, so there is no point going back into the details. A shortened 4 series would be a far better solution and far more premium. A second thing is the form; the car would be far more spacious and practical for every day use if the Coupe would have a Ferrari Berlinetta (or Hyundai Veloster as Scott26 described the form) rear end. In big companies it is so, that replicating existing forms gets a green light far easier than introducing something new; as a result there are cars like 6er Coupe (instead of making a sports car in the marvelous form of M8 concept a fish came out) and a pregnant Coupe aka 3er-GT. The elegant sporty 3er Coupe was stretched into 6er Coupe and made pregnant into a 5 door 3er-GT. Last edited by Antares; 12-20-2012 at 06:20 AM.. |

Wow thats crazy!! For the Spartanburg built models in that compound like the X5, are the prototypes built in the US and then shipped overseas, or do they assemble one off prototypes in European factories?

a great deal on a 2013 135i Msport ![]() Although I like the new look somewhat, I don't know that I like all of the new technology. It's too much. A.S.S. to be specific. I only need two driving modes, comfort and sport ![]() |

That was actually the first thought I had when looking through the pictures. I know it is a government regulation to crush the test vehicles, but it seems like such a waste.

I wonder how much the M235i will cost? Based on the M135i it would cost £30,000 or about 48k..I hope the M235i will be about their. It would make sense because anything higher will be in the price range of a 3 series or even the new 4 series. I am hoping for about 42k-48k because I will be able to afford that.
