Leaked look at new BMW 2-Series / M240i (G42)!

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…-

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.

6SPDG82 · 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.

The rear is really awful and strange, especially the rear lights. If someone would show me the rear end (without the logo) and ask me which manufacturer this car is from, BMW would probably be my last guess.
