That picture isn’t an everyday view of the car, and I wonder if they’re designing it specifically to look nice (ish) from specific angles.  It would be useful to see the car as you would looking down on it.

This looks 10 x better than that red POS they released earlier why do BMW insist on realeasing their cars in ugly colors. First the new 6 in that beige color and now the 1 in red.

We need to see a head-on shot from the front.

Also a rear shot.

Ok much much better…… This is starting to grow on me and if you buy one, you have to get the M-sport package, now just need the rear bumper shown (hope they have the grey splitter area)

Also what’s up with standard Halogen Lights ? Where’s the Xenon lights ?

My opinion is definitely changing about this car, for the better….

is the area under the grilles still smashed in like on the standard car?  i can’t really tell with the license plate there.  perhaps that was on purpose?  but from the looks of it, that area is not smashed in.  …what a difference a minor change can make.  it’s like 2 completely different cars.  maybe BMW did this on purpose so they could sell M-Sport packages?  hmmm, i smell conspiracy…

Much, much better. Wonder how rear end looks like, but M-optic version of front end made from  the new 1-er very different and pretty appealing car. I guess that most of orders will involve M-package option, which in turn will make it a bit more expensive, but exterior design of basic version is rather unacceptable.
