In terms of the silhouette it looks like it took some styling cues from the AMG GT roadster....and that isn't a bad thing.

Really like this car - although it would look even better in a decent colour other than grey. A rich metallic blue, for example. And that presenter is a complete d**k, by the way

Wtf?! Here I thought the 2 series active tourer was the ugliest BMW ever made. This is horrendous. The back is fantastic and the interior is awesome. But then the front just takes it all away. Such a shame. I guess this is what you get when you partner with Toyota.
The front has absolutely no flow, lines going to no where and the headlights look like the fiat spider. It's like they gave up. Wonder if Toyota got to design the front. The lines remind me of the awful current gen Lexus's. Waste of a BMW. Hopefully the handling offsets the looks. :

I like how the iDrive looks more like part of the dash. I always liked the integrated look in my e90 better than the tablet popping up from the dash in my M2.
This car makes me jealous of everyone who doesn't require back seats. |
