At least it doesn't have the stupid pig nose grille, a shame that they ran out of money to finish the rear though

From what I've seen all of the new series of BMW's look godawful, definitely thinking the current generation will hold some decent 2nd hand value because of that...

They're going to sneak into your garage in the middle of the night and put on a new bumper and grille.

yarp. Was thinking about trading for a DCT 4 since the M2c only has 9k miles on it in nearly 2 years and I only drive it city and I have the e30 for sport and and and, urgh

Just a god drat shame that the 2 series is somehow uglier than the 4 series. How do you gently caress that up that badly?

People straight up do not give a gently caress. If they don't care about their own car, they definitely don't care about yours. I've come to terms with the fact that all cars will have some form of dingage. Looks like a particularly bad case on yours though. That from a shopping cart, you think?

In better news (for me) - my build hit 150 and I have a VIN assigned now!

I don't hate it, and from this angle it reminds me a lot of the Merc CLA's. Babby's first BMW. But at this point, just kill everything off and give us the i-2 series or whatever. Nothing will ever be quite like the pinnacle of modern BMW design which was the e38 / e39 / e46 era. Hell, even throw the e53 in there.

I think it’s from a door, these are parking spaces inset into the pavement off the main road - mine is parked in the middle of three. You can see from the reflection of my work van that there’s a ton of room to open a door without getting anywhere near other cars, but here we are.

The good news is that the angle of the photo is the only way the dent is visible - it’s not noticeable from any other viewpoint. I should count my lucky stars the door handle took the brunt of it and it should mostly polish out.

Undoubtedly some visitor during the day is responsible - everyone in my block are generally pretty respectful of other peoples stuff.

Once it gets the full M treatment, we'll get a better idea of how good it is or not. If they widen the fenders further and tidy up the rear with a more aggressive bumper and quad exhausts, I have a feeling it's going to be quite a nice looking car.

Going to laugh forever if the M version of it gets the ugly M4 front end, and keeps the ugly 2 series rear end for the worst of both worlds.

What about the scrapes on the handle? That doesn't look like a door ding to me.

Seems like they have no idea what their market is anymore and are just shotgunning as many models as possible.

BMW Fans: The M3 is too [big|ugly|expensive], why can’t BMW make cars like the E46?!?!?!

BMW: Here’s a car that’s nearly dimensionally identical (slightly shorter and a bit wider), makes almost 400 horsepower in the sub-M model and sold at a relatively affordable price.

BMW Fans: NOT LIKE THAT

The 2 series is the only remotely good of their current line up, but that new one looks fugly as all hell is the only problem!

(I'll allow M5M3 Touring but we'll never see it here so whatever)

I humored everyone about the new M3/M4 because the grill is less than awesome but you’re all on drugs if you don’t think this is an improvement over the previous gen. I love the M2C but to pretend like it’s a work of art is laughable. It’s a goofy small BMW coupe, like the 1 series that preceded it. It’s lovable because shredding tires in jellybean is awesome, not because it looks good.
