Here's a good question!

I\'ve seen a lot of haters for the E82 and a common issue are the headlights and general profile, ironically the same as what I\'m hearing about the F30. So...

If the F32, when revealed, is like the F30 only with 2 doors, would you rather have the 135i or 435i?

From my point of view, I would say none of them. 435i is too big. 235i is too ugly if it uses the F20 headlights. I think E82 and E92 remain the best chioces. I am still hoping that BMW will surprise us with stunning looking 235i and M2 designs.

If the front end of the next 1-series coupe looks the same as the 1-series hatchback, I think no one will buy an 1-series coupe. It's just too ugly. Much more ugly than the ougoing 1-series.

I agree. If the new (2er) has a similar front end like the current 2012 1ers overseas, I'm out. And that leaves me thinking about the 4er... The camoed one is catching some heat but hopefully it's better than currently imagined.

Nope, talking about the current 128/135i.

Its hard to compare because there is a big difference in the size of the cars. On looks alone I prefer the E82. I think the current 135i coupe is a great car, so still not a bad idea to buy one now. E82 128i is also fine if you don't mind the small brakes and electric power steering.

Lol I was just thinking this.

I'm pretty sure it will be the 135i for the track days!

Current 135is with extra cooling is very interesting. I think 4 series is going be too large (longer than f30, right?) for my tastes and parking situation.

M235 is VERY interesting, especially if the m signifies actually performance changes like less weight.

The 1 series has always been an almost for me. My issues are PROPORTIONS. The F32 does not suffer such a fate and so far the M235 that I have seen does not either.
