Exactly, I'm a loyal M3 owner but this may be the next proper M3.

LoL... those hideous headlights didn't last long.

Now really interested in this car. M2 could be a fun commuter car.

Lot of potential in this car. I hope BMW does it justice. I also hope the M2 doesnt have a stupid active sound.

E46 was magic.. this would be a modern version of it - I like it too.

Looks pretty sweet!

Leo88 · 01-10-2013, 06:04 PM

The front part look close to the f20 1er, with the same hood and similar headlights (the upper part its the same) with one light bigger than the other. Immagine a f20 light cutted on the bottom...
The kidney grills has the style of the 4er concept and 6er in my opinion, with the external border stretched to the lights.

The back has something that recall an f30, but it's hard to have a clear idea of the final car, the lights clearly wont be small as on the 1er.

Why they can't just use the front part of my E92?! I love it too much

HoundForHire · 01-10-2013, 06:10 PM

I am extremely excited for this. Hope we get some interior shots and a concept over the next few months.

bimmerjph · 01-10-2013, 06:38 PM

Okay BMW you have my attention.

Just imagine how awesome it would be if they brought back the S54 from the CSL for the M2. That would be epic. Nearly zero development costs, guaranteed satisfaction, and this will be such a low-volume car that the slightly higher fuel consumption won't really effect BMW's CAFE numbers. The only problem is the emissions standards. Damn you hippies!!!!!

I'll just keep praying for a 235i gran coupe!

I hope they make this in gran coupe too

tmurphy2 · 01-10-2013, 08:14 PM

When all the announcements came out for all of these new series maybe 2 years ago I was a purist and agreed BMW was making way too many model lines, then I realized when all the comments are made like "this will compete with Mercedes cls" "this will compete with xyz's hot hatch" "this will compete with Lexus's xyz's" blah blah ... Actually it was quite the opposite BMW didn't have enough model lines to compete on the basis they needed to! They aren't making too many lines they are simply catching up, or at lease keeping pace. I will say the cars are too big though.

Yeah, small brakes for sure. But, does the intercooler mean this is the 235?

TheBingoBalls · 01-10-2013, 08:34 PM

This 2-Series has got me excited more than I ever was waiting for the F30 3-Series.

manoseao · 01-10-2013, 08:35 PM

i hope this holds true! I have my eye on the new 4 coupe but the M2.

N20 engine has an intercooler too

Who? · 01-10-2013, 10:01 PM

this could well be my next car

the only thing i hate about the current 1-series is that it looks too narrow, this seems to be wider

atl_1M · 01-10-2013, 11:35 PM

I like how the slats in the kidneys slant and are not all upright

I didn't even notice that. I like that too. The E85 Z4 had the same thing.
