I don't like the grey accents! Why not gloss black?!

Front looks like a BMW. The back looks like a Vw golf...

I wish BMW would sell 5 (or 3 door) hatchbacks in the USA. I love the look and they are very practical when it comes to hauling stuff around.

New 1 series is nice in terms of all the other models, a bit more of a 'trendy' design. But comparing the M135i, i prefer the current model. Just has a more 'brute' like appearance, and character... which the new one looks to have lost that feel.

But all tastes are different.

Not sure why they persist with the grey accents though... just so everyone can change them to black.

Rear looks like a Seat. I also don't like the pattern of the plastic mesh on the front. But his LCI does make me love my old model even more

They should have just used the m235i front end. Looks tons better and more aggressive. The LCI headlight and taillight design is the BMW's usual Parkinson's disease hand trembling that I noticed from BMW lately. They really ran out of ideas on headlight design, just like Mercedes did.

^ Exactly I completely agree however the 2er is the replacement so that is not something they'd do without effecting the image of the 2er.

What do you mean with the 2 series being a replacement? Replacement of what?

The 2er is the advance replacement for the 1er.

Not sure there will be a 2 series hatch, but soon enough the 1er H/B will be sadly FWD/xDrive.

I don't think it is decided yet if the 2 series will remain RWD either. And the 2 series is not a replacement for the 1 series. They will both exist alongside each other, like the 3/4 series.

The UKL platform will be what the new 1er is based on, and it will be either FWD or xDrive.

What I've been told is rear wheel drive will be on the 3 series and above every BMW below the 3 series will be front wheel drive. The 2 series is only sold in small numbers so I cannot see BMW keeping RWD

And the 2 series can also end up on UKL. We will have to wait and see.

Yes I know, but let be logical, that is highly unlikely across the entire 2er line.

+1.

I'm sure that in the flesh looks a bit better, but anyway I'd rather gloss black.
