Yehhh. I know I said I'd consider this car in the future, but I really think it's going to be way too small for a guy my size. O wells.

We'll wait and see.
Also, bring on the Coupe/ 2002 kompact sedan (re)replacement.

There is something about the proportions of this car that I really like. It reminds me of the E36 3-Series cabrio in some ways. I just hope they tone down the goofy Bangle details and give it a more cohesive look compared to the 1-Series hatchback.

BMW's strategy is absolutely brilliant here. A back to basics 1-Series and the 3-Series moves a little upmarket with a hardtop convertible model and a V8 for the M3. You just know BMW will do a M version of this 1-Series sooner or later, yeah sure they're denying it now just like they denied there would ever be a M version of the current Z4!

Anyone else think this may come across as a girly car?

Depends on what it looks like, although I sure with the M pack on it won't look at all girly, rather like the mini cooper cab verses the mini cooper S cab!

2er cabrio prototypes are cruising along Arizona, Nevada & California: performing hot weather tests.

While 2er coupe disguised in cabrios (mimicking folding canvas roof) are cruising around Munich.

Waiting for some nice spy pics.
Where are those Erlkoenig guys when you need them?
