So BMW has, as a brand, become too upscale and I'm glad to see them get back to their roots with a small, fun, agile, light, fast, rwd saloon.
Today's 3 series is much like the 5 series used to be.
The current 5 is like the 7 used to be, while the current 7 is just a boat. With the new 2 series coupe and GC, its nice to see BMW get back to what they're best at and what the enthusiasts love. The 2 coupe and GC will essentially be the spiritual successor to the 3 series coupe and saloon. I honestly cannot wait for this!

The only thing I fear is that the new cars will grow even more and move even further upmarket, creating the need for a new series smaller than a 1. What, a .75 series? Sigh. BMW needs to rip a page from Mazda's book. When making the new miata, they made sure that it wouldn't have any more grip than the previous generation. More/bigger isn't always better, BMW.
