I was extremely surprised at how ugly/boring it was in person...
I am also very disappointed at the lack of fender flares on the 2-series.

The back looks disproportionately large and it makes the rear wheels look smaller than the front. The back simply doesn't not look as aggressive as the E88.

More and more I see the 2-series the more happy I become with my 135. Not really warming up to the 2 series... I mean why the hell did they make it bigger? Many of us bought a 1-series BECAUSE it was significantly smaller than the E9x chassis.

Now, the 2er is about 2 inches shorter than the 4er. What's the point of the 2-series again?
Man I really couldn't agree more with everything you said!
