FinalRenegade wroteI always liked that stubby, muscular look to the design, it gave it a kind of street fighter vibe while striking a good balance between aggression and classic BMW lines - it's a modern day E46 coupe in my eyesAlways disliked the way the 2 series looked, short stubby and awkward, the new design is not much better, no thanks

"BMW 2 Series Coupe to make world premiere at FOS
The new BMW 2 Series Coupe is set to make its debut at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Harking back to the original 2002 of the late ‘60s, the 2 Series follows the formula that helped make BMW’s name as a purveyor of transport for the sporting driver: compact footprint, rear-wheel-drive and the option of a sonorous straight-six.
As BMW’s M-Sport offerings and higher numeral coupes have piled on the power and tech, the entry-level cars have picked up the baton for simple, engaging thrills for keen drivers, and the next 2 Series is unlikely disappoint. It will make its debut at BMW’s ‘M Town’ stand at 09:00 on Thursday 8th July before tackling the famous Goodwood Hill in the ‘First Glance’ category beginning at 09:40."

BMWRL wroteLet’s hope not.I’m not a fan of those indents on the new M3 and M4.The power dome looks great in these pics.BMW will probably just make the power dome larger on the G87 or just give the G87 the same hood as the G42.The F87 has the exact same hood as the F22.I asume the M240i will get the power dome and the M2 will maybe have the same indents as the M3/4?

Geezus a power dome on the 2er hood. This is awesome. I think they're putting all their efforts into the G42/87.

I know I'm going to hate the rear. The dumb choice to make the add more to the "L" LED just follows BMW's current trend of doing too much for the sake of it. It's a shame because everything else looks pretty good, all things considered.

Seems there is an issue with BMW's design team in regard to appealing visuals! A power some won't make up for those ridiculous triangular air vents... Just sayin!
Not sure they got the memo, if it isn't broke, don't fix it!!!

At this rate all BMW's will "look best in black" to mitigate the styling excesses.
