[@linserr90]

At first I wasn't convinced about the exterior and the whole thing about it not being RWD. But when I saw one with a M kit on and then drove it for an hour I was completely convinced while sitting in the now up to date interior and bought one on the spot. The previous model in my opinion really needed a fresher look on the in and outside with better safety features. To all the people who are saying that it's bad, ugly and looks like a golf or something else as bland (don't make me laugh), go see/drive one and then speak, you will be surprised!

[@aufwind7244]

I can totally agree! I really, really didn't like it when I saw on the pictures.. But today I saw it in real life and now it's my dream car

[@SavageTriple7]

Definitely agree here, seeing it in real life (especially the M135i model) completely changed my perception of the car. The previous generation really gave you the vibe of "okay, this is the 1 series and basically the entry model BMW" when it came to the design and quality of the interior. The new one is HUGE step-up from the previous car and makes the car feel really premium in my opinion.
