Seriously, the new A-Class just looks so superior - especially the front and rear views with AMG kit. And that is just by looking at photos - in real life I think it will be a stunner. The interior is also very decent for this segment.

Wow! Great video! They are flogging that 1-series around the 'ring! Looks fast.

Poor little skinny tires trying to hold on for dear life. And I'm sure they are not run flats.
Still hate the looks but the little ugly bastard is freaking quick!

Headlights STILL cannot grow on me despite having nice wheels this time round.
Damn those headlights!

To the people complaining about body roll, I'm glad the suspension is compliant. I don't know if you have lots of smooth roads where you live, but in my area all of the fun roads are very poorly paved and cars without a lot of suspension compliance are practically useless. |

The 320hp version of the N55 engine is same as in the 640i. In the small 1-series it will be explosive
![]() I doubt they will offer both a 125i and a 128i. Too close to each other. Instead they should bring the 6-cyl 3 liter with 272 hp from the 530i instead ![]()

I'm guessing the dark colored test mule pictured is an xi and the blue one is not.... why do BMW xi cars have to sit like old Subaru Outbacks with a 3" lift

R those 18's or 19's on the estoril blue test mule? The thing looks crazy lowered on the turns.

BMW seem really challenged with producing front headlights in a design comparible to some other brands. Weakest design aspect on my E82 and I think even worse on this model - even larger when they should be slimmer, sleeker and wrapping upwards on the sides. Small in the grand scheme of things I suppose.
Point now is... what's the weight? Have BMW done work in reduction? I'm all ears!

How do the people at BMW make something as hideous as the F20 as the replacement for the LCI E82. Do they celebrate Oktoberfest year round or something? Good lord.

what a shame it looks like VW Polo clone from the rear and front is so bozz eyed.

![]() I dont think it's conservative, I think people just shoot from the hip with an opinion before they see the car in person. On the Internet, people do nothing but judge it by the cover. Ever been on a forum and have a new race track be introduced? . People leap out of their chairs to review the sketches and declare a track " boring" before its even paved or before they see an elevation map etc, lol. The majority of these comments about how "ugly " the f20 is are from people who have not seen it in person. Half of them will change their mind in a few years and 20 percent will probably end up owning one lol. I am not a fan of the triangular headlights, but they definitely don't photo well. The car in person looks handsome and the headlights don't jump out at you like they do in photos. |
