This does look sweet-yes? If the "2" turned out like this it would be awesome.
I love the roofline- absolutely perfect.

I'm out of my lease in a year's time...and I have nothing but great things to say about my Z4- It's been a brickhouse for dependability and fit/finish.
But I'm ready for something new- and I don't see me getting into a 3-coupe.
It's gorgeous, but it just isn't me.
Some of us grew up with parents who really were attached to brand loyalty-you bought a Ford..you stayed with Ford.
I love BMW's but I have a clear idea of what I want and when the time comes to pull the trigger I'll get whatever's out there that fills my needs.
And, truthfully, I think I'll resent BMW if they don't get the "2" right. They've had time to research the car, do the demographics.
I doubt very much if there's a "2" constituency out there who don't want great handling and cutting-edge design.
It's just a matter of BMW reading the tea leaves and turning all that talent they have loose on this project.

Part of my dissappointment with the 3-er coupe is that it's become somewhat of a bloated boulevardier- oh yeah, I know the 335's specs- but I don't want a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Give me something whose design mirrors it's performance.
