BMW Lebanon got 2 2 series last week. Both sold in one day!
Mineral gray 220i sport package with M steering wheel! Estoril blue M235i "pictures posted earlier by bimmer post" Both colors are new in my opinion compared to previews generation paint finish. I liked them both. New BMW design seems to handle very well dark color "details wise". Before, a black 1 series coupe for example, won't show its spoilers inserts because they are black... Today, a black 2 series would still show its black inserts in the fenders because there's chrome highlights around the openings that catch the eye... I parked my 125 coupe back to back to the 2 series, the new generation is a huge upgrade in design and materials used. Nothing to envy its bigger brother, the 4 series.

I find it frustrating that by spec'ing the M sport you find yourself limited in colors and trim options ... Even more true with the 3-4 series where an M sport cannot be had with saddle brown interior. Probably not a problem in Europe and Individual program, but in the land of the short term lease ...

Gotta say I'm pretty happy with the car in person even more-so since I own a 128, they really have improved the materials fit and feel(not that it was all that bad) as well as the crap seating position that is/was my biggest gripe about the current chassis you now sit down in the car not on it. |

How would you guys rate the room in the rear. The M235i would be my daily driver to work and our 7yr old and 9yr old would be in the back at the weekends. This would work easily I guess as other have said that even 5'10 adults would be ok for shorter trips in the back?
Great pics by the way OP thanks, Sneak claim those royalties!

As far as short trips they would have to be under 5'8 to fit comfortably even for short trips, there just isn't that much head or leg room back there in either car. |

I'm 6'2" and my wife's 5'3". We stuffed my 6' dad in the back of our old 135i for a three hour trip. He survived. It didn't look terribly comfortable, and there's no way he'd have fit behind me, and if my wife were much taller, he would have been pretty miserable.
One note about the E82 though, the power seats didn't move forward very far. The manual seats flipped forward much further, which made getting in an out a lot easier. Either way though, getting in and out was worse than actually being back there, it was a pain, worse than the E92, which had larger door opening and allowed easier entry/exit. Room wise, the E82 was about the same as the E93 and slightly less than the E92, which would make me guess that the F22 will be similar to the F33 and slightly less than spacious than the F32, and a heck of a lot trickier to get in and out of. We've talked about kids, and that was part of the reason of getting rid of the E82, but to be honest, we would have ditched any coupe if we planned on actually using the back seats frequently. |

Frankly why so many of complaints about how "plain" this version looks.... folks, at least BMW gives you the CHOICE to tailor the look of your 2 series the way you prefer and yes, there are people out there who like a more understated look...

Thanks for posting pics of MG! Although you can never really go wrong with grey (BMW's look their best in dark grey), I think I prefer the darker steel grey or sparkling graphite, and ergo am leaning towards MW instead. Also, go for the M235i.
