Pics don't do it justice. It looks x2 better in real life, almost good. Photos lie. It looks better in darker colors and with blacked out grille it's very good looking actually.

All the F20 haters are missing the point. The target market.
BMW would not invest millions into a new model without a pretty solid amount of market research that suggests the car will have a strong market to sell to. BMW probably wasn’t making this car with your demographic in mind. Especially if you're in North America, you're not even getting this car, so don't worry about it! Just as I'm not sat here worried about what the latest GM oversized, overpowered gas guzzling pick up truck is going look like.... I walked into the show room, saw an F20 sport sat there in crimson red and thought wow! So I bought one. The car is absolutely perfect for me and to my eyes, its a stunning looking car. Well done BMW.

I'm a 29 year old software developer/project manager. There's your target market; young, active, creative. People in design & technology, young execs, junior middle managers. I took part in a focus group for BMW earlier this year and it was clear this was a market in which BMW was under represented, with most of the people there being 45+ 3/5/X drivers. I.e your average dentist is well catered for elsewhere in the BMW range. The folks at BMW, armed with a hell of lot more knowledge and understanding about marketing cars than you, have produced a car to fit the data they were seeing about who they were and were not selling cars to. Stick to your X3, am i on that forum slagging that car off? No.

I like the look of the 3 door, I'm surprised that they are making one as I've hardly ever seen a 3 door 1 series, most are 5 doors or coupes. |

Saw a 5 door in person and those headlights look completely ridiculous. I don't see how something that ugly can be approved for production.
Let's hope they change them for the 2 series. |

You're in North America no? Where exactly did you see this phantom F20?

I personally think the F20 looks much better in the flesh, photographs cannot pick up the surface detailing, particularly around the nose, and consequently it looks bland and clumsy when photographed compared to real life. We have quite a few on the road here and it's growing on me, looks much better with xenons and rim upgrades. |

And that is the problem...............it is growing on you. UGH!
The difference is every time I see my 335i coupe from a distance, I still think it is the best looking car. I do not need my next car to grow on me. |

I don t understand those who post negative comments about a car that is not in the list of their future buy
2 series coupe/ cabrio will have a totally different design for sure BMW prepared this hatchback with a lot of goodies like new 4 cyl petrol engines (best in class), better interior quality, more room for the backseats and the new eight speed transmission The design is also different than the other hatchbacks available and will look much more aggressive when it will be equipped with M Pack |

@BMWDAD: I don t understand your worries at all
The future 4 series will be more elegant, lighter, roomier, sportier and (just a rumor for the moment) more powerful in 35i spec The future 2 series is not so close to be released so the engineers have enough time to make it very good, better in every aspect compared to the actual model |

So you are correct a 4 might be in my future. As for the 2, I can only hope your positive statements are correct. June 2012 BMW 1-Series Coupe (F22) Official Internet Reveal Last edited by BMWDAD; 12-31-2011 at 05:51 AM.. |
