Worst parts were the engine and a close second, the diff.
The stock N54 has no top end either, the power dies right at 5500 RPM. | What's your definition of a fun motor? just wondering.

Bumper looks similar to the M4 concept bumper.
Overall I like the car, it looks better than the 1 series imo.

Ooooh the M235i gets a standard mechanical LSD too. No more silly electric LSD.

ok seriously what the fuck is 2 series and 4 series?? They're fucking 1 and 3 series!!
Seems like there's naming crisis going on nowadays...just like Infiniti Q50. It's a G37 goddamn it!

I want a hatch. I really want the new front from the 2 to trickle down to the M135i. Love the hatch, love the drivetrain, ABSOLUTELY HATE THE FRONT 
Maybe I will trade in my S3 for an LCI m135i

styling is much more aggressive if compared model to model.
Front bumper alone is more racy looking than the standard 135i M sport / 135is. That 2 series press car does have some dinky looking wheels though.
wonder how would a M2 look like..
