Are we talking about the same cars? The 3 series coupe looks way better than the 1 series.

appearance is always subjective. there are things that I like and dislike about each, but I dont find either "amazing" styling wise nor do I find them unappealing. I'd say both are decent or above-average.

The problem I have with the 3coupe is that you really have to go around to look at the double kidney grill or get closer to to see the roundel, etc. to tell it's a BMW. Too many times I've mistaken it in profile for an old Volvo C70 coupe, if not an Accord. The rear design is too bland.

To be honest, I think the rear is 3-series' best attributes.
It looks simple yet elegant and classic.
The side, however, is very bland and flat out boring.

I love the 3 coupe styling. Everything about it. Proportions. Elegance with a bit of aggression. Stunning! Classic BMW!


The one thing I'm not sold on for the 1 coupe styling is the back end, specifically the taillights. I don't like their shapes. And I don't like the way the belt line sags when it flows into the trunk, especially in relation to the top of the trunk, which curves up in the opposite direction. However, everything else that I love about the 1 coupe more than makes up for these little niggles! :smile:

The 335i is WAY better looking than the 135i.
