" How much weight do you think the hybrid system adds? 2-600 lbs depending on how its done? I don't know how they could do it to the gt3. Leave that alone! "

" So does that mean the GT3 will less special in your eyes because it will share the same hybrid components as other models? Hahahahaha...I could only imagine the shit fit you would be throwing if BMW would have announced they were going all hybrid. "

" Yes...not detuned S55 should be it!!!! "

" You're right...all the rumors have it as a 4 cil but I would rather have a 6.

Doesn't bmw have a 3 cil that makes over 300 hp stock? I saw a vid of that 3 cilynder engine and it actually sounded better that the n54...about the same as an n55. I will see if I can find it. "

" If we are going by looks....I think the 5 and 6 are damn good looking cars....fucking huge ass boats...but good looking cars. Hopefully the electric steering doesn't fuck it in the ass. "

" [QUOTE=Sticky;457213]So the "successor" to the E82 1-Series in the USA will be the F22 2-Series. Yes, the new 1-Series hatback will not be coming over to the USA so the 2-Series coupe will fill that void as the spiritual successor. This car will compete with the Mercedes-Benz CLA as well as the Audi A3 sedan. The M235i version you see here will likely share the exact same drivetrain as the F10 M135i which means a 320 horsepower N55 3.0 liter turbocharged and direct injected inline-6.

The styling of the car looks to be a bit of a blend of F30 3-Series and F32 4-Series although smaller. The headlights takes F30 inspiration but do not go all the way to the grille giving an edgy look to the corners that is aggressive. This will be a pretty good looking car and a great entry level BMW especially if the weight is kept fairly low. It may end up being the most fun car to drive in the BMW lineup.

" I think it looks awesome! An M2 with some wider fender flares and a detuned M4 engine please! I've already hinted to my wife that she needs to trade in her 535 for an M2. Need a brother to the 1M (super fake M car)...Plus I hate her 5 series...it huge and boring...is comfy on long trips though. "
