That is fugly...
 Just dont see the point in this car.. The 3 series is small enough if you want a compact sedan.Looks like it's one of those Chinese BMW replicas. Why have 335 style double exhaust on a 120...?

Feel like the bottom half no longer likes the M partition of the bumper scheme, but really looks like a Mazda bumper

We could have a fanmade way to classify BMW vehicles, BCE and CE (Before Cheap Era and Cheap Era) for when BMW completely bent to the biddings of the mainstream consumer. We're witnessing history here, I tell you! :P

lmao... this company gets better day by day... 5 year outlook for bmw... be absolutely like everyone else, offer 0 product differentiation from others in the market, dont build cars based on a heritage or dynamics that made you great...
so then what again is the point of owning a bmw a few years down the road?

Not terrible, but taillights are weird, and it will look awful w halogen headlamps, which many of these will have

I find it difficult to respect the viewpoint where people state "it would come [to western markets] in xDrive, so what's the difference?" This car has its engine positioned transversally; with the much of engine mass in front of the axle line. This is a major change for BMW brand sedans.
However, I respect the car from a business perspective. It seems like a very promising addition to the category.
