Liking the shape and size, perfect in my opinion as looks like it is in between the current 1er coupe and e92 in size (logical anyway as it is a 2er). Can't wait till its revealed.

Doesn't look that much different from the current E82 coupe... Maybe a bit less stubby.

I like the 1er's size better, the 2er will be e46 size, which is not too bad but I think the market really lacks a 2+2 coupe (real real seats).

When the disguise eventually is removed from the 2er, only to reveal a Mitsubishi Lancer front nose you will be glad you bought one of the last timeless classic BMW coupe shapes

I actually like the fact that I bought a car that is about to be superseded. BMW has had plenty of time to iron out the kinks and I know there won't be thousands more joining me on the road. As car history suggests, newer doesn't always mean better...

That's probably a good outlook provided you have negotiated the price right and not pay early model price.

I'm sure whatever the design, it will eventually grow on me. Seems to always happen. Though I am not warming to the F20 hatch 1 front end still.
Some cars just do it right from the get go. New A class Mercedes is a good example of that. These spy shots are so camouflaged I simply cant imagine it. Just have to wait and see.

As I understand it, production will start around November, meaning deliveries around February/March I would imagine. Could be even later depending on the marketing priorities in the northern hemisphere. So, would you wait another 12 months?
Yes, I know that the 228i will be a very nice car and will go harder than my 125i, but I'm going to stick with my N52. I still think it's the smoothest 6 ever made. |

That being said, the EPS on my E82 125i feels great. Maybe a little light up to 40klms /h but great thereafter. |

When I get back into my E90 LCI, you can feel how heavy the steering is on take off but it feels the same as the EPS once you are at normal driving speed. |
