I don't get it. Now FWD, looks like a Ford with a kidney grille.

BMW has lost the plot. All this thing needs is the X2-style pillar logo and it would be complete.

Couldn't agree more. New 1-Series vs X2 is as redundant as Mercedes' A-Class hatchback vs GLA.

I adored the last generation BMW M140i with a stick. I can't believe it's been replaced by...... this. I bet people will fire back at BMW. Because this is no bueno. Look at Alfa Romeo. Their new Giulietta is going RWD.

I saw a lot of people on YouTube said they would rather take the Corolla Hatchback over this which is pretty interesting when you think about it.

Corolla is much sleeker and has more power than 116i 116d and 118d

It seems a crossover between last gen 1 series and the X2 crossover... It's like Inception movie, a crossover from a crossover

By this pictures, "our" CT got even better looking despite their age. Please send us a all-new one sooner than latter (I'm expecting Lexus to show something at next year Geneva show)

Because you know...China.

We should all see this coming when they built that FF 1-series sedan. They just chopped off the trunk. And People buy tens of thousands of these, with an Inline-3, a month. Oh, and they come with LWB (facepalm).

I grew up in the era when BMW posted this as a firing shot to the industry and it was 100% accurate and hilarious...

It is stunning to see another FWD BMW and not in a good way. No thanks.
