Default New BMW 1 Series

BMW has released official photos of the 2012 F20 1 series, after some were leaked.

Press release and photos can be found here:
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/05/b...-new-1-series/

What does everyone think? I can't say the looks do too much for me, but I'm relieved to hear that it's still RWD

Yes thankfully there is one manufacturer out there with the balls to make a RWD small car.

I cant say visually it appeals to me, but it would be a hoot to drive.

Id own this little sucker in a heartbeat though..

I actually don't mind the look of it. It isn't good looking but it isn't that bad. I never liked the original 1 series when it first came out but did come round to it eventually.

I am a bit worried though how BMW will do the coupe. I love the current coupe and would have a 135i any day of the week.

mm no thanks, much prefer the previous coupes..lights make it look weird..too much empty space between them and the grill.
