Wow no 1 Series sedan outside of China seems like they're giving up a huge potential market no? So many A3's and CLA's on the road

talhagursoy · 04-26-2016, 07:06 PM

Bmw CLA

Omar81 · 04-26-2016, 07:07 PM

BMW should produce this car. It looks amazing. Much better than the A3 and the CLA. What are they waiting for?

Imola.ZHP · 04-26-2016, 07:09 PM

Stunning concept, we need that in the US stat!

JMon · 04-26-2016, 07:10 PM

m1 please?

DRTMGRT · 04-26-2016, 07:11 PM

This could be like a base for an M2 GC !!

Edit:

What color is that? It's like sunburst gold metallic and Austin yellow had a baby. I like it!

AKRAPOVICOWNS · 04-26-2016, 07:12 PM

I don't understand the reason why BMW wouldn't introduce such model outside of Chine if we have the A3 sedan and CLA selling like big macs, and we don't expect a 2er gran coupe until next gen, if at all..thats wierd.

M3 Adjuster · 04-26-2016, 07:39 PM

A BMW COMPACT SEDAN??

What a concept ! Who would ever have thought...

RWD PLEASE and call it a 2 series gran coupe and then bring on an M2 GRAN COUPE.

# just do it already ..

So late to this game and it's what made you successful in the first place

TheBingoBalls · 04-26-2016, 07:40 PM

Such a shame that there's no plans to bring it to North America.

psuibmw · 04-26-2016, 08:08 PM

Nice Hyundai Elantra

mkoesel · 04-26-2016, 08:08 PM

If this truly isn't coming to the US, then we are at least five years from a sub-3 Series four door here (next generation 2 Series in Gran Coupe form). As others mention, with the CLA and A3 selling so well, it's hard to comprehend quite what BMW is waiting for.

Russkey · 04-26-2016, 08:09 PM

Not sure if I like the shark looking front, but I like the concept as a whole.

gds52 · 04-26-2016, 08:17 PM

Looks like civic

JMon · 04-26-2016, 08:21 PM

If they had it in the US they would probably stick in a super small engine, stripped interior and lease it for $199/month.....
So we probably don't deserve it. ...

I agree, this car looks perfect as is, great proportions, reminds me of a modern E46.

They give us cars like the 3 GT and the 5 GT which while they have a market in Europe they don't sell well here, this car would.

On a side note my friend bought a 3 GT and he loves it, said its still awkward to look at lol but the versatility is awesome.

MSCD · 04-26-2016, 08:57 PM

The Sunglow metallic is a cool colour. I see a lot of S3 sedans where I live.... This would sell like 'hot cakes'. Agree with everyone above. It is also the right size for the UK market and would do well in Europe!

TypeRSTI · 04-26-2016, 09:33 PM

I love the large panoramic sunroof. Reminds me of the all glass roof of model 3

I hope this doesn't turn out to be like the X7. For years Lexus and Mercedes were running away with full-size SUV's and it's only now BMW is going to enter this segment. I get it, $100k SUV's aren't exactly high sellers. But with a car like this which would compete with entry-level cars (A3, CLA) which from the looks of it are selling quite well, I don't see why BMW would pass up the opportunity - it's not like they would have to do any market research, Audi and Mercedes have already done the work.

Glad I own my E82. Can't say anything else.
