2012 BMW 1-series Hatchback (F20) Official Information - Specs, Wallpapers, Videos - Page 19 - BMW 1-Series Forum (F20) 135i

This looks 100 times better. Less space between the kidneys and headlight corners. Shrinking the headlights vertically makes them look MUCH more aggressive and not so bulbous. I was looking forward to the new 1er too.

Anyone know is BMW has a general email where people can email them feedback? I'd like to email them the link to this page for comment review.

They're obviously secretly reading this forum right now as you type.

First they take away normally aspirated motors and now this abysmal little rolling turd. As the owner of a 2011 1-Series, I hate this car. This is what happens when you allow designers to drink on the job!

Ditto on the barf

How did they make what was already one of the ugliest cars on the road even more ugly!!

Lfcap · 06-04-2011, 04:26 PM

How its possible that BMW makes a stunning e92/e93 ( my present car) and does an abortion like this!!! When I first saw these pictures i thought that were another ugly photoshop...but these are the official ones! Its another dejavu like when I saw the 5Gt. NOT GONNA SELL!! Meu Deus...

GewoW · 06-04-2011, 04:30 PM

as much as im not really feeling the design...i have a feeling this car will be a ridiculously big hit

GewoW · 06-04-2011, 04:37 PM

i have absolutely no idea...but i have a feeling it would sell quite well here.

but maybe not as well as in europe

I guess you forgot the S. Let me rephrase this one :

"i have a feeling this car will be a ridiculously big shit"

I thought this was Front-Wheel-Drive though, not Rear Wheel Drive.

Any idea of when the Front Wheel Drive version is coming out.

Strykaas · 06-04-2011, 05:11 PM

By carefully comparing the existing model and the new one, my guess for the reason for the drooping nose is to reduce fuel consumption by decreasing Cx. Fuel efficiency is at the core of their research ...

The front end is not everything : even fixing those headlights won't give the massive feeling of the front part that today's ones have. But this massive look is not fuel efficient.

I've mended it.

IE#02 · 06-04-2011, 05:24 PM

This must be some kind of sick joke.

I always admired Bangles work.

Are the people that wanted him out happy now?

silver · 06-04-2011, 05:33 PM

I have owned e36, e46 and e90 for the past 15 years and I am planning to buy f30 next year. If the f30 looks like this ugly clown I will not buy it.

I think they are drugged when designing this car, or what ever it is...

philip · 06-04-2011, 06:01 PM

The blue one in sport version, bigger wheels and double exhaust looking much better, don't you think? Takes some time to get used to the headlights but starting to like it.

IE#02 · 06-04-2011, 06:07 PM

If they had actually followed the original concept it might have been ok.

philip · 06-04-2011, 06:14 PM

Love this angle:

Always works like a charm!

Hi.

don't have much time to... but i've done a litte paint around with the design.....

Right: what's wrong about the front
Left: done right

fboutlaw · 06-04-2011, 06:29 PM

mending more. Phew! All this work altering headlights is hard work.
