But then the drivetrain layout is not part of the styling, is it?
The 1er has certainly never been a car you bought because it was pretty...

Visca Catalunya!
What disturbs me most ist the front. Too much empty space between grill and the headlights...
Really not a beautiful car and even worse than the first one.
The old one isn't exactly a pretty car.

^^ It's not bad looking though.

The old body-style 1M just set an 8:15 at the Nurburgring, which is seven seconds slower than the wrong wheel-drive Ultramegane Trophy. This is a useless comparison really, but the reason for the M's lack of speed is interesting. Apparently, the driver thought that the suspension was too stiff for the Ring. Now, I know that the surface of the Rig is infamously choppy, but I think the idea of a road car's suspension being too stiff for a racetrack is laughable.
I know German car companies like to put overly-stiff suspensions in their cars, but this is a little silly.
Grille looks too big, the front headlights are out of proportion. I hope the fix the front of the car in the inevitable facelift 3 or so years from now.
Talking bout the 1M means talking bout the coupe. We don´t know that yet and i suppose it´ll take some time for the coupe and convertible to come. The old coupe however was indeed a quite nice car.
The 3/5-door verison was really not what i would call beautiful, but as ferrer said the sportiest alternative in the segment by far.
^^^ Yes but the new 1 Series coupe will have the same light shape and grill ect, so i can guess what the new 1 Series Coupe will look like, it's not going to be pretty.

In my opinion it is.
The drive more than makes up for it, though.
Even though the little Renault has (almost) a 100bhp deficit?
Interesting.
I'd still take the Bimmer. Altough I could almost buy to Renaults for the price of the 1er...
