Oversized butterfly kidney grills
Audi style lights
closer and closer to the old 5-series sizes

The F30 is already too big.

Time for a RWD 1 series sedan. And yes I know there is a snowball's chance in hell.

but that's why the 2-series is all the rave
the 2 is closer to what the 3's size was

Aargh NOOOOOOO! I was hoping it wouldn't look like the new 5 but it appears to be very similar

CalCarNut · 09-21-2018, 03:40 PM

2020 for a 6pot car? long way off.

Two more weeks before we get a good look at the 5-series' "mini-me"

Not a big fan of how the headlights join the grille

RIP halos. You had a good run.

That blog post mentions they'll all be mild hybrids? When was that confirmed? It sounds like it'll just be a more robust electrical system, not a "hybrid" per se, but still, the first I've heard of it. Maybe I'm not keeping up enough.

No electric engine to fill in the torque to mask turbo lag. Just a regen method for charging the battery life the current f30

Gotcha. I saw the word hybrid and got a little worried...

I have no problem with electrification, but I'd be a little upset if they didn't offer a "normal" gas powered model. I saw that they'll be implementing this in all G20's and for a second thought that all G20's would be like ActiveHybrid 3's...

All cars are going this way. Even the Dodge Ram has it now. Mercedes has it with their new inline 6, and the reviews are great.

More info on the 385HP B58 standard 6 cylinder engine.

Yeah, If I were buying a 2 door then a 2 series all the way. I already have owned a 135i, but there is no reasonable size option in a 4 door RWD any longer. A big gap in the segment that BMW built their success on.

I am enjoying my F30, but it is already bigger than I would like and was hoping it wouldn't keep swelling. My F30 feels as big as my E60 on the inside. Luckily it drives like a much lighter car - which it is.
