phantom7835 · 07-05-2021, 08:47 AM

I'll take the triangle grilles over the beaver teeth any day of the week. Not sold on the single headlight yet personally

mkizzo · 07-05-2021, 08:50 AM

Single headlight looks googley eyed. Could be a lot worse based on more recent designs tho

MD707 · 07-05-2021, 08:51 AM

Infinitely better looking than the 4.

Bodes well for M2.

Al Bundy's Dodge · 07-05-2021, 08:53 AM

2 series for the win. Again.

M3 Alex · 07-05-2021, 08:59 AM

Better than the M4, worse than the outgoing M2. BMW design is moving backwards. This car is fugly, but less fugly than the g80/82.

I realize it's all personal preference, but I do not like BMW's new design language.

I wonder what'll look like if they tried to pull off the z4 headlights with it.

Ziosella · 07-05-2021, 09:02 AM

I like what I see, but...fear of the rear. In particular the shape of the taillights was terrible in that grey G42 leaked some months ago.

ASAP · 07-05-2021, 09:04 AM

Not particularly attractive... the lights are weird and now have only 1 inner light... then the body sides seem to narrow out.

Looks amazing man, best design ever. It will sell millions. Well done BMW.

The completely-unnecessary in the middle of nowhere hood line is still there…-

duky · 07-05-2021, 09:39 AM

Oh dear lordy that looks juicy. Love the width of a standard 2 here. Can't wait for ///M

AndroidRobot · 07-05-2021, 09:43 AM

I wish BMW wouldn't use the M mirror caps for anything but true M models but, of course, that won't happen. The redesign looks good, I will miss the dual headlight design they had before

Imran@Evolve · 07-05-2021, 10:06 AM

Looks good and if the normal 2er is this wide imagine what the M2 will be like :-)

Colinv6 · 07-05-2021, 10:08 AM

Do we know if Individual paint is confirmed on the G42 2er? I’ve got a colour in my head for it.

ChrisM4 · 07-05-2021, 10:19 AM

Will the M2 also be unveiled at the same time?

No , that will be next year.

rideontwo · 07-05-2021, 10:27 AM

How shockingly similar to the leaked photos of the 2er in the car elevator.

karasumori · 07-05-2021, 10:36 AM

TheBingoBalls · 07-05-2021, 10:41 AM

That's a terrible rear IMO. And the front, the triangular vents extends way to much to the top, though it could just be a bad picture/angle.

The front actually looks like a BMW for a change. It's not bad. But the rear looks like a cla or a class Benz.

Colinv6 · 07-05-2021, 10:44 AM

I like it! I can see the wife’s M140i going in for an M240i, was going to wait for the M2 but is there really much need.
