Ok. I feel the need to point out that the M Coupe and the 1-series are 2 entirely different animals.
The M Coupe is a hardtop, tuned version of the Z3. Personally, I think it looks off-balance. I don't like it, but I won't put anyone down if they do.
The 1-series is designed to be an alternative/competitor to the VW Golf/Audi A3 hatchbacks. It is not a sportscar anymore than the rest of the standard BMX lineup is. When they put out an M1, then we can start talking about sportscars. Now personally, I like the 1-series. A RWD hatchback seems like an excellent idea for me, as it will be nearer my price-range. A price-range that until now has been dominated be FWD cars. No, not dominated, populated entirely by FWD cars.
Also, I think Bangle did very well. BMW needed to shake up their visual image and get back to being cutting edge. They want to be market leaders, they should lead the way on all fronts, design included.
