Nice Photoshop skills.

However, in reality, I think the F22 coupe and F23 convertible will not share a single body panel with the F20 (or F21) hatchback. And I think this will happen regardless of whether they decide to call them the 2 series or keep the 1 series name. This is similar to how the E92 and E93 don't share any body panels with the E90 (or E91), and the F32 and F33 will continue the trend by sharing nothing on the exterior with the F30. SCOTT has said they intend to differentiate the 2-door (3 box) 1 series models from the hatchbacks this time around.

In other words, I don't expect the controversial F20 face to remain. Though that doesn't mean they won't come up with something just as funky and controversial for the "2"s.
