I was embarrassed every time I saw one and I've owned a lot of BMW's. At least the 1M was a little better but really looks we're not a 1 series attribute.

This. My 1er was a really good looking car but only because I modded it spot on (19" matte black csls, etc). Stock, no. If the 2 is modded the same (it will be
) it will crush it.

435i

But visually, the 235i looks a lot longer than the 135i, even if it isn't. I suspect it's because of the lack of flared fenders that the rear proportions look wrong. So I still stand by what I said, the lack of fender flares makes the 2er look a lot more subdued and (IMHO) not as exciting as the looks of the 1er.

Solution.. don't buy it
They are just different. I have had both. If i had to choose bar none it would be the 2. Even brought back the classic bmw driver slanted dash which the e9x era blew completely.
