Any future (ie. 2012 to 2014) 1er / 1M renderings around?

niuniu · 09-30-2010, 10:18 AM

Was filling in time looking at some renderings from other brands and saw some nice stuff that will likely never see the light of day. But it got me thinking about what the 2014 1M will look like (I bet Jerry/Alpine has nailed the 2011 1M to be honest).

Will it just be more rounded in some areas, or will they actually do a big overhaul on the 1er?

Here was the rendering that got me thinking about future designs.. tasty looking Porsche Cayman

The next 1er Coupe will see the return to the classic look inspired by the 2002. It's appearance will follow the direction of the E92 in which it focuses on a unique perspective that is different from the E90.

The Coupe and Cabrio will offer unique appearance from the Sporthatch.

yuck. You guys hit a home run with the ugly stick...

Don't turn into Ford or GM where they just rehash an ancient design. You can follow a philosophy without copying the exact look. Those round lights look completely out of place! It's ok for a car to evolve!

Will be interesting to see if they make the car more appealing to an older or younger audience. At the moment the 1er coupe hangs somewhere in the middle and bizarrely manages to appeal to both. That's great, but I bet it will swing one way or the other.

Personally I hope it looks more youthful..

Yikes!, showing that rendering looks like an effort to increase sales of the current coupe before they are extinct.

What the Fuck is that? Whoever approved the release of those headlights should be sent back to Vespa. That is

My thoughts exactly.

Glad I got my deposit down on the E82 1M1

That's really bad.

Oh. Too bad if that pic is true.
And, it still has the pot belly thing going on, and now the front is starting to look like a spider, the insect that is.
I do NOT like those lights, U G L Y.

GotM · 09-30-2010, 10:38 PM

Yikes! The front end is on par with a Pontiac Aztec.

Something tells me the new 1's wont look a damn thing like that orange mess. Looks like something homer simpson would invent

Sheessh......

On a surgical facelift, basically all the facial skin is moved upwards, taking lipcorners, ears and eyelids with it.
I didn't think BMW would have applied this term literally to their cars, but in the rendering, the headlamps have become tiny slits right under the bonnet, and the foglights have come up to where the headlights would have been. Just as on Joan Rivers, the lower grill now has a permanent smile.

Even the kidneys got the Micheal Jackson nose treatment.

Yikes...

Fantabulously ugly.
