Anyone think that the headlights should be bigger or wider (something like the 6-Series) and the kidney grilles should be rectangular instead of what they did used? Other than that, looks like a BMW. Time to start saving my pennies! Also, hard to say until fully uncovered but those tailights remind me a lot of the ones on the current Civic...

agreed. the connecting of the headlights to the grills on the f30 just never did it for me. it looked forced. the 2 series has that part down much better.
definitely looks better than the e82 (and i own an e82). not ashamed to admit it. however - the n20 plus electric steering plus all the other new electronics bmw is putting in this generation of cars (e.g. standard idrive, adaptive suspension, etc) is a turnoff in my opinion. |

The M2 should be amazing, good job BMW.

Yes, yes and hell yes. All of a sudden (well not really that sudden), I'm beginning to be more interested in an M235i/M2 than the M4.

Wow...looks great. Proportions much better than F30/F32. Never liked the F30 anyways.
Now is it possible they put a NA inline 6 in the M2, make a killer no nonsense track car. That way it won't step on the toes of the M4? I know dreaming. But it just seems odd they would put in a turbo 4, when the M235i has turbo 6. Most likely drop weight on the M2, LSD, refined M suspension, wider fenders, and tweak the M235i powerplant for some more hp. |

xDrive only in the US? What a FAIL.

I think the front resembles that E46 couple LCI but I could be wrong.. back fender looks too much like the F30; boring.. They had to make it a little girly -_-but I think we have a winner here

Yes. I'm happy about the shape, but from the camo shots, it looked like they were taller/thicker and seemed to fit the shape more. Regardless, it should still be a looker in person.

This car sounds just too damn perfect can't stop looking at these pics had my mind dead set on ordering a 435i M in July I passed on the 135i last august knowing the 4 was coming. Thing is F32= bigger than e92 and this M235i is perfect size, won't cost as much, will be faster and overall much more sporty. Only thing that the 4 series still has to it's advantage is the certainty of a tech package being offered but if the M235i comes with HUD as an option I might have to wait it out a few more months although it seems like i've already been waiting forever
