That looks as big as the 3 series only a few designs ago.

Yeah, I'd really like to see them sitting next to each other for a scale reference.

That car looks way nasty in a good way. The front is beastly and the little flared rocker panels look awesome. It looks like a high end understated body kit from the factory.

UGLY... the back is totally not in proportion to the front.. looks like a 3.0 CSL that got mangled in an industrial accident.

i dont like that drooping door line near the center of the door but
other than that, i think it looks pretty decent.

not my cup of tea... the 335i coupe looks much nicer.

I hear what you're saying. I've never been a fan of that look on the 1-Series hatchbacks. The main reason I like this car is that it was once slated to be the 'rebirth' of the 2002, one of my all time favorite cars.
