Knock knock A3, CLA

[tman]

No One:

Literally No One:

No organism in the galaxy:

BMW: Nah, lets kill the Estate and try force a Gran Coupe on people.

[///Moose]

This is uglier than I imagined

[TurboLlew]

This gran coupe crap needs to stop

[TBP88]

There's one angle from the front where it *almost* begins to look nice. But yeah... Why?

[DINODENASH]

[Nick]

[michael.joseph]

Saw this on carwow the other day... looks crap to me and I can assume the pricetag will be just as horrendous

Got a bit of a Korean look to it from some angles

Either way... it's a from me

[Dirtydeedsman]

Kill it with FIRE!!!

Hard to believe the same company that makes the M8 Grand Coupe (Which is now my all new favorite Beema that I can't afford, Sorry F10 M5) also makes this k@k.

[Crash_Nemesis]

Oh BMW... you hurt my heart and soul.

[cOlDFuSiOn]

Hope this is not what the M2 is going to be based on

[reid26]

Bmw have lost the plot. This things looks like a Kia. Drivetrain resembles one too.....

So both the 228i and the M235i is down on power from the outgoing models and it hurts your eyes when you look at is.

Well played BMW...

[wynandv]

[KPM3_30]

YUCK!

I would much rather take an Audi A3 Sline, looks so much better. These proportions are ghastly

[EthanJappie]

[Crash_Nemesis]

The value of all e46 M3's have just gone up...

Shit, at this rate, e46 318i's will be R200k soon.

[Chucky]

Looks kinda like a Alfa from the back, its like a Alfa Romeo Giulietta and a 8 series Gran Coupe had a baby
