eee gats.... I am really starting to hate BMW, at least any of them from 2010 on. What did you expect from a company that make the god awful 5er gt. I hope they fail and get back to making real cars.... If i wanted to purchase something that ugly I could sure as hell do it for a lot less $$$ by buying a used pontiac aztec.


And in other news BMW's new cheif of design hire is being celebrated by disability organizations all over the world....."We would like to applaud BMW for hiring the first cross eyed automotive designer and think the company will be pleased with the work he produces for them. The center for the blind has already given his first design, the 2012 1 series high marks."

I think the rear looks fine. I also can't imagine it's owner not crying him/herself to sleep each day.
This 1 series will help selling the 3 series, because most people will rather be willing to pay a little more for a BMW that is not this hideous. About the same case as the old X3.

I'm trying to find ONE thing I like on this car.... I'm trying really really hard..

Wow that is gorgeous. Reminds me of the old 60's Corvette design. Beautiful lines, and UNGH that front-end is to die for. Really loving those "down-syndrome" headlights and that "looks like I got in a fender-bender but you can't really tell, can you?" front bumper.

Lets just hope they didn't put the power to the rear wheels.. that would be one thing that is inexcusable.

Reminds me of a Storm-trooper....wanna see one in white.

[Holland]

FWD right?

How much did they pay those people to smile? That car makes my face do hideous things.

[Holland]

I think they were trying to copy this as well...

[TexasTerp]

Leave the German Hatchback business to VW!! That is a disgrace to bmw heritage!! A four door 318ti rep? what a waste...

that front end will ruin everything awesome about the looks of the current 1 series.

man wtf. after 1999 BMW really started going in some oddball directions. german mazda design? roflrofl.

fixed. Lest we forget Bangles abortions of nature. We still are feeling the reprocussions of his little fiasco. There are still elements of his repugnant design direction trajectory in todays cars. I can appreciate that he "shook things up", made people follow a whole new design direction across the board (all menaufacturers were biting him) and to a designer, thats what their purpose is, possibly even move the cutting edge forward a couple steps. They want to make people talk, think, and react. But still..... walking down the street with turds stuck to your forehead will get the same reaction. DOesnt mean it looks appealing.
