Face of the Future BMW Compact FWD Car

Mark · 01-21-2011, 08:36 AM

I REALLY hope this happens, BMW will keep RWD for its main 1, 3, 5 series lines and this will just compliment the lineup, takes away the need to dilute the 1-Series.

so is it just gonna be an overpriced golf? the golf is a great car, but probably not at the price BMW will want for one

dmboone25 · 01-21-2011, 10:35 AM

The car looks ok, dimension-wise...lack of angels just looks weird, even on a rendering.

you have to be the biggest bmw sack rider to like that hideous peice

Whiskers? FWD? When's the Hello Kitty version coming out for the chicks?

Itanius · 01-21-2011, 12:48 PM

I like the design, but I'm not too keen on the FWD part. I understand the need for it, however.

Fester · 01-21-2011, 01:16 PM

FWD are you kidding? They just need to stick with mini for that - don't bring FWD to BMW...it'll truly suck!

nickk89 · 01-21-2011, 03:51 PM

looks like a volvo

IE#02 · 01-21-2011, 04:29 PM

Whilst not the best looking car ever created, still looks better than a lot of bmw's other current/future offerings.

and to think Bangle got so much shit
