I know.., but was still sort of hoping.
The one in the pic seemed a bit conservative. Seemed kind of out of place, comparing with the new 3 series and 4 series, nor does it look like the 1 series. It's just some design Last edited by BMWseeker; 09-23-2013 at 10:40 AM.. |

Once we see more pics at different angles and once you see it in person, I'm sure you will change your mind |

The E82 styling has grown on me over time, especially the "bulldog" 1M. I didn't have 2 E82s for the styling...I wanted a small car with a big engine...the 2 E92s I had were simply too big for my tastes, so the 1er coupe was the logical choice in the BMW line... My least favorite thing about the E82 was always the front, but I don't even mind that anymore...the point being was that the 1er was always different than the rest of the lineup, even in quirky ways... The current M135 shares this type of "difference" with the hideous headlights that thankfully don't appear on the new 2er...but the new 2er to me looks a little...plain...if you will. Very pretty car for sure--but it has lost some of that "difference" and quirkyness...it will be interesting to see it totally unveiled... EDIT--by the way, when I say "plain", I mean that the "sausages of different lengths" seems to be at work here...the red M235 looks like a shrunken F30, at least to me...and I dont know if I like that or not...perhaps the smaller dimensions with make the duck face more palatable

I see where you are coming from. I love my e82, I think the front is the best part as I don't care much for the rear. Still an awesome car that has it's presence when driving down the road, I get looks all the time
From what I've seen so far though, the M235i seems to further progress what the 135i is now, hence the 2 series nomenclature, and with the M badge behind it, it looks as if it's going to live up to its name. I don't really think it's plain looking. Seems like it's wider, longer, and has a wider mouth at the front. I think it will look a lot better once professional pics surface from different angles. I'm so looking forward to this car :thumbs up: |

I was shocked about how much better I liked my first E82 when I saw it in person the first time. I am hoping its the same with the 2er.

I was told that "within," the next month to six weeks, they would have info on pricing and option packages. Just got my notice from BMW NA about my approaching lease expiration. May have to extend the lease a month or two... |

The production number that I have is in "112" status, which means I currently have a spot in line, I just don't know where that spot is yet...I was given roughly the same time table on options, but my SA is thinking that the options currently available for the 135is would be a decent place to hang your hat... He had no idea about the LED option...my guess is that will be a no for launch, maybe available @ LCI, definitely available if they make the M2

Jason said October, today is Sep 25th so I hope very soon we can see something. that waiting time is killing me, I don't understand why is taking so long, maybe because BMW want to introduce the M3/M4 first. I think there is many people waiting to see the car.
Can somebody tell us when we can start countdown? |

So I went back to the original "specs/options" thread and had a look at the options list--does anyone else wonder if 563 could be the LEDs?
I don't mean to beat a not-yet born horse, but I really hope those are available...

The VIN list only lists prototypes that were found via a VIN search, but doesn't mean that this is the comprehensive list of all models which will come to each particular market.

Sigh. Yes - Jason had hinted at something quicker than that. So BMW unveil it and then start making it a week later....still think this schedule makes little to no sense

That would be great - just to see more complete pics of the damn thing - we haven't had Jack since the red car pics came out
