BTW, I feel the profile and the rear are the car's strong suit. My 0.02, the front sucks! I have never like the front end of the 1-Series. The headlights are too large almost bug eyed and I was hoping BMW AG would change them on the coupe to differentiate it from the hatches. I am certain the car will be a hoot to drive, but interior size my be an issue for me as I have a growing child.

Fortunately a newly designed bumper cover can correct that hideous cheapness in a jiffy.
I think a set of rear fogs and a bit of mesh in that center bit can solve that :biggrin:

I like it. Definitely more suited to the younger driver. I've done a few Photoshop versions - I've altered the colour from that hideous orange, and I've added 19 inch rims from the 335i coupe... hope you like

The dark grey is looking better and better but if they offer lemans in the US I just might have to do that. Otherwise the grey or the Monaco will be a tough decision.

I tried white for you, but the contrast is too difficult to do a decent looking job, it just looks washed out... you're gonna have to use your imagination for white, sorry.

I tried a few crazy colours like metallic cherry red, hot pink and lime green. Surprisingly, they all looked awesome! I might post them at some stage.
