New sighting and looks at the G42 2 Series Coupe!

G42 2 Series Coupe Spotted Again

Jockey · 07-13-2020, 02:05 PM

Is it just me or do I see some pronounced fender flares?

bartginger · 07-13-2020, 02:07 PM

Front-end overhang looks like it is increasing. No bueno.

blau.violett.rot · 07-13-2020, 02:16 PM

Will it be the first or one of the first BMW with recessed door handles? I cannot remember that I have ever seen a Bimmer with those before.

am3r1ka · 07-13-2020, 02:21 PM

Will this be the 4 series we wanted or a let down?

RinconHeat · 07-13-2020, 02:26 PM

The grille camo is freaking me out! Can one suffer from front-end ptsd? I don't even want to know what's beneath...

I'm hoping the former

SFBavarianArea · 07-13-2020, 02:48 PM

I'm jus stoked the belt line and hood lines are finally starting to line up with each other again like the past days...

At this rate, the next, next gen (late 2020's early 2030's) they should be back to being around the same height like e30-e46🙏🏾

I'm wondering how they're doing it though? Maybe shoving the engine further down to get some precious millimeters...?

There is a loooooot of thick camo on the front end. Look how far back the lower grille is.

I see them...they look fukn great. Almost M///-like in there size. Looks like there's a power done on the hood too but I can see that it's a fake body panel...i think

F87EVO · 07-13-2020, 02:53 PM

I think it will look good , i can imagine the G87 M2 with those wide box style flare fenders ! As for the size , it might be a little bit bigger , but not much !

This part^^^ there's so many damn fake body panels on. The proportions are really the only thing we can gather from these right now...and that barely at that.

Thank god, BMW upping their interior game is much welcome and G series seats all have great options.

So now that the 4 series coupe has been revealed after months of these type of photographs we can do it all over again with the 2 series.

Minus the pig snout fears.

At least the front grille looks amazing.

The i4, the next X1, and the next 2er Active Tourer minivan, at least, have also been spied with flush door handles, so this design element will likely spread out to the whole lineup indeed.

Where do I find this interview/quote?

https://www.driving.co.uk/news/inter...ase-everybody/

"And so when you arrive, what was it you wanted to change?

DD: Being more brave with all the icons [BMW's traditional design details] we have. I mean you can see it now in the products, that we play with all the icons.

The Hoffmeister [the forward swoop or 'kink' at the base of the window on the rearmost pillar of BMWs], for example — until the G30 every 3 Series had almost the same window graphic. That meant that when you saw prototypes — when you saw a new BMW, it could be the previous model if you just looked at the top of the car. This was something I never understood.

In all these discussions about our icons, people say, 'But you can't change the Hoffmeister, you can't change the kidneys.' But who says so? Mr. Hoffmeister just made one window graphic."

The only link I could find but in other videos/articles as well he has spoken about changing historical elements and has talked about the Hoff kink being an insignificant detail elsewhere.

So the window line is going to be anywhere between Audi A5/Lexus Tongan old Chevy Monte Carlo SS...

The shape of the body still looks good... just not sure about those new headlights and front end.
