Best Look Yet At All-New BMW 2 Series

TheBMW 2 Seriesis one of our favorite coupes, mainly because it underpins the simply epicM2 CS, a car that is undoubtedly one of BMW's greatest hits. Although the M2 is very different from the1 Series Mthat came before, the new 2 Series is even more of a departure in terms of styling. We knew this when we saw a泄漏的汽车a few months ago, andheavily camouflaged prototypeshaven't convinced us otherwise. Now that one of our favorite rendering artists has worked off the latest spy shots, we're even more certain that the next 2 Coupe will be seriously divisive.

On the one hand, we've been spared the ghastly, elongated, buck-toothed grilles of the new 4 Series, but on the other, BMW is bringing us a car without double rings in the headlights, and for some BMW fanatics, this is just as offensive as a front-wheel-drive BMW. Still, a case can be made for the fact that the 2 Series is creating its own identity, and the above renders certainly depict that. Somehow, the new 2 actually looks more muscular as a result of its unique headlights, although we're still not sure about that squashed-in rear end.
