This makes sense for Europe, Asia, and Australia. Not so much for the US but why is the interior nicer than a 3 series?

Oh my god... Big fan of the recent designs (except the i3 and the two GTs) but this is just ugly as hell...! Looks like a Merc B class competitor though.

Remember when Top Gear had a "plate of sick" and a BMW badge in it? some shit sells no matter what...I just have to believe that the move away from core values will catch up with them at some point. With record sales, it isn't now obviously...we shall see...

Same thing with the tailpipes and the 135 versus 335 - never made any sense to me there either...

BMW is stretching too thin. This is crazy.

Ultimate Driving Machine my a$$.....
WTF, Fugly, . Looks like BMW raided the leftover parts bins and leftover warehouse material and put together this monstrosity. How is this a 2series? How this made it out to production instead of a 2GC is ridiculous.

BMW first attempt on making a small car that's offers lot's of space. Kinda building upon the 3 and 5 GT. This is actually a nice effort, will do great in EU as a second car. Direct competitior to the B series from MB. I liker this, and the engines, I3 is promising.

The power trains are still untested, but given what we saw with the 2.0T from the 328i, the 3 cylinder will also be very competitive amongst it's peers the chassis is shared with the Mini Countryman, which is a very solid platform for a small FWD ute. Again, one of the better handling ones. Owned a Mini Cooper for 5 years, VERY good car! quality I would think would be equal or better than the VW Tiguan which is a similar size. For what the Active Tourer is used for and the market it's going after, this is a very competitive premium version. There was mention of a 6MT (probably for Europe), but I'm not complaining about that. I'd definitely drive this over a VW Tiguan, Mazda 5 or a MB B-class (which I owned before - B200T) Heritage, tradition, BMW's old school values (i6, RWD), mean nothing. If I need a car for a young family, you're not buying a M235i, you'll be looking at X1, X3, 2 AT, 3 touring and maybe X5. All depends on your budgets and your needs. |

I have decide not to replace my E70 X5 right now but if I did, I would probably opt for a Toureg. Much more fun than the new X5 and cheaper than the Porsche. |

Even further dilution of the brand. It would be one thing if they had kept the rest of their lineup more pure and enthusiast-oriented, but they haven't. They've been cutting corners and been in full-on mass market appeal mode in order to save money where ever possible and maximize sales.
Too bad.

I am also surprised that you think the 3 series sedan is a better cargo hauler than an X3. You have a point with the X1 but with the seats down, it could work. They are all too small for me though. |

So, BMW makes a "minivan" and calls it an "Active Tourer", ha.
And because they have an "M Sport" package, the question everybody is thinking, but doesn't want to ask is, "Will there be a M2 Active Tourer version?" Hahahahahaha, think about it, if there were one, it would be M Division's first FWD M model. Nothing is sacred anymore! |
