MB Class B fighter I guess. It should be a 125i gt instead as the 1 serie is an hatchback. I'm pretty sure it will be way too expensive for what it will worth anyway.

I doubt this is coming to the US, so only those outside the US should be freaking out about the name; which I agree makes no sense, I somewhat understand using even numbers on the Gran Coupes, but this thing

LMAO at all the outrage. Premium FWD cars from Audi and Mercedes are the hot segment in Europe now. BMW is going to be laughing all the way to the bank with this car. Personally, I'd have it over a Golf, although I guess that makes me a brand snob since the Golf really is a damn good car.
Having said that, I do find it confusing to have it called a 2. BMW definitely needs a rethink with their nomenclature. |

BMW,
Put me in your executive team. I will make sure there is a new model and new niche every month. 90% of the cars on the road will be BMWs. You will have more models than any one else. BMW tractors, trucks, pickups, limos, ATVs, coupe/sedan/convertible/GT all-in-one... Also, can you make one of these? We need to grab some customers from that domain too. Thanks. |

WTF is that!!!??? Please tell me this is an early April fools joke!
What an absolute insult to the 2 Series badge! I assume also that the facia is what we can expect the 1 Series LCI to look like. |

This should be a 1 series, not a 2. BMW, please stop trying to be Toyota. Cars like this do nothing favorable for the brand. Are we going to see a 2 series gran coupe and GT as well? Might as well fill out the 2 series with all the other bastardizations you've been spewing for the last 12 months. Oh, except for Wagons, don't bring any good wagons to the US, just more of these goofy variants of cars that look terrible. |

Y'all need to stop whining like a bunch of snooty purists that you pretend to be. The market is looking for a quality, stylish little city tourer and this will sell like hot cakes. Sign me up.

How far can you stretch a brand before you start devaluing it?? Electric cars and now front wheel drive vans just like GM, Ford and Hyundai make. BMW obsessed with being in every niche.

So much for odd numbers being coupes!
BMW has no branding clarity any more.
