I swear BMW should have just replaced the 1-series sedan with this and left it at that, an incredibly stupid choice on BMW's part. Calling it a 2-series is confusing enough and having two different M235i's makes things even worse. The car doesn't even look like a gran coupe, there is nothing coupe like to the design outside of frameless windows. Years ago BMW said they were going to make 2-doors even series and 4-doors odd series, and then they pull the GC bs. 🤦

The v6 got me rolling. But yeah, when the average consumer thinks bigger is better, they think it's better off to help people justify their purchase.

I have never seen a BMW with an uglier face. My goodness. Looks like a Chinese knockoff of a Corolla.

Please BMW... C'mon! I tried to make it a bit more production-like. And made it M-ified. And yes, I know it won't look like this, unfortunately. Edit- and oh, crap... I forgot the M2 badge on the grill.

if they make it as big as the outgoing 4er, they will lose a significant number of us who appreciate the just right size of the 2 series.

I chose the m2 over the m4 largely due to the size of the m2 (and all that comes with the more compact dimensions)

Seems like a trend. The new 4 series coupe is also heavier.

Actually just a little less than the outgoing 4 is a nice size.

For that's Goldilocks, current 4 is too long, current 2 just a little stubby at some angles (I'm not a hater put the pitch forks down had a 235i and M2)

Man... I thought bmws couldn't get uglier than the new 4er, but at least the new 4er is "distinctive"! The new 2er looks ugly and downright cheap... hopefully it'll still be fun to drive, and there's always the LCI to look forward to!

More like a "3", somehow thinking BMW won't mess this model up.

Interesting to see mercedes move to go 4 cylinder hybrid with the next gen C63 AMG. I think BMW inevitably will have to follow... Also very interested in Mercedes newly introduced electric turbo, that reduces lag. I would love to see BMW introduce a newly developed mild hybrid 4 cylinder engine for next gen M2, as long as It looks and sounds anything like the DTM, P48 engine with a plus 7K RPM redline. A carbon fiber roof and the new optional carbon bucket seats should bring overall weight down significantly. But hey, who am I...

Thank you jstein55 for the direct answer. It saved me from having to research the difference.

Anyone else hoping that the new 2 series would have the size and performance of this (with spec bumps and updated bits, as appropriate)...



and the styling cues from this...

Revolting
Notwithstanding that this doesn't look like any Honda at all, why is it necessary or relevant to talk trash of another manufacturer in a thread about the G42?
If you look at the 3D design of the tail light you will notice a remarkable amount of "over styling" and geometry that is very reminiscent to me of the "Gundam" style of the Honda Civic. While I appreciate the style I certainly don't want it on my car. I honestly wasn't "talking shit" on Honda.

Ugly hood line AGAIN!

Bye bye double headlamps

Let’s see what happens with the Hofmeister kink...

Door handles seem to be i4 alike (but not integrated with the belt character line

Top of the hood seems too high.
