The "2" would seem a perfect platform to advance BMW design rather than summarize and refine the past.
The worst thing they could do is give us an updated 2002 retro cute theme or a small version of the "3" coupe.
There is a design continuity that BMW follows- it speaks of stability and value.
But BMW also is synonymous with innovation and leadership.
They've recently proven that they can make a car that looks nearly perfect with the "3" Coupe.
But it is so refined, so handsome that it's hard for me to feel any passion about it.
I'd like to see something that takes a little getting used to...something that's more visually challenging.

I hope so, but I am not holding out for anything really different with the 2. I see it being a mix of 1 series and 3 series coupe styling elements.
