Smile Rwd BMW hatch back!

I think its kind of ugly but thats nothing a body kit cant fix. BMW has hit the nail on the head hear I think. Its small light weight RWD!!!! and to level the playing field and give the JAPs some compitition its a 4 cylinder and its suspost to be 16k the the sports trim will probably be around 20k. I think this is what the markets be waiting for, well the street racing market at least I couldnt find any numbers but what do you all think. Only down side I see is now those dam ricers can get ahold of a BMW. Just the thought of them sticking a wing and R type stickers all over it makes me:twoguns:
Heres some pics

Sort of like the 318ti? RWD Bimmer hatchback.

I like the coupe. I want the coupe. I want to park the coupe next to a new Mini Cooper S in my garage.

*looks at Layla*

I also want to get her finished so that I stop feeling guilty about looking at other cars.

Eh, Fliquer, Bangle hasn't screwed these ones up. Note, the "Bangle Bungle" diagonal slash is nowhere to be found. If anything, the front end reminds me a bit of the Aston Martin Virage.

I think the coupe is pretty well proportioned and looks every bit what a baby-Bimmer should. The hatch is screwy looking, I'll give you that. But the coupe screams "New 2002ti".

That's my opinion, anyways.

I always thought of bmws have elegant, understated looks. But then bangle came and made them way too flashy IMO (see old 7series vs new 7series, and the pics of the next 5 series).

Id like the coupe a little more if it didnt have such high shoulders..

I like it, I think

The second from top hatch looks pretty good, a little Z3 hatchesque. I think BMW should stick with the high-end market. Although I guess the Mercedes C-class has been selling pretty good.
