Looks more like a coupe, but hard to tell. Heard it might be the new G42, but this appears more likely to be FWD than RWD, IMO. Hard to tell For sure though.
This would be a poor design for the G42 since it will continue as a RWD driver's coupe. |

I'm quickly loosing track of what's what. Do we still have 1-series? Is the 1-series now a sedan? 2-series coupe and 2-series grand coupe or is this another 2-series version?

I thought they cancelled the 1-series sedan long ago? Either that or its still selling in china I guess, and even if it does still exist, this seems pretty extensive for just an LCI? Either way, anyone else seeing Subaru in the rear?

Leaning with you (LCI or variant) after visiting bmw.com.mx but uncertain because it seems like original poster would know.

The 1 series is a hatch back in Europe and other parts of the world. It's roughly Ford focus size. It's recently gone from RWD (F20/F21) to FWD/AWD. (G chassis) sharing its platform with the Mini's also very visually similar to the new 2 series gran coupe which is based on the same FWD platform. As the other commenter said there is a 1 series sedan in emerging markets - China, South America |

Just looked at some pictures of the F52.If this an LCI for that car than it would be a huge styling change for an LCI.This car has totally different headlights and taillights.The front and rear bumpers are also a different design.It also looks like this car has a different rear trunk design.This car also looks like a coupe.Isn’t the F52 only available as a sedan?

Or an E90 3 Series with one of the many terrible aftermarket taillights that became available during its production run.

1-series just got face-lifted for 2020? So this would either be a new generation, or the new 2er coupe (hopefully its the former, not the latter)

That's why I put the question mark in because the article stated a facelift, despite this thread saying its possibly a F52 LCI when it looks more of an entirely new car. Not entirely sure, but I guess we'll see.

The rear looks more coupe-ish to me, but the front throws me off. The pictures were taken at a funny angle too.
Aren't we expecting the next 2-series coupe to have vertical grilles, I thought one of the forum insiders mentioned that about the next M2? |

Not gonna lie, I would have much preferred this design over a 2GC.
