That looks damn good!

So Bridgestone is one supplier of the all season RFT tires for these.

Side bolster adjustment.

It's the backrest width adjustment being deleted from the build. A shortage of supply has had the passenger width adjustment and the lumbar adjustment deleted, for a credit on the build, for months, on the 3, 4, X3, and X4. I don't know if the choice was related (though I suspect it is), but all of the new Perforated Sensatec interiors have been without backrest width adjustment on the driver's side as well, though not credited, because it hasn't been a represented feature with these interiors. I have/have had 6 different BMWs with Sensatec and backrest width adjustment and I hope this doesn't continue another model year or two.

Is that a 4 series gran coupe next to it 🤔

Sedan_Clan · 11-04-2021, 06:56 PM

Not bad at all!

stefan · 11-04-2021, 06:58 PM

This color doesn't work for me. It's too monotone. Can Interlagos Blue not exist anymore because of the eco paint rules?

Germanauto · 11-04-2021, 06:59 PM

That's how I'd spec it. Don't understand the black side skirts though, it looks odd.

Agreed, I'm sick of it. It feels like I've seen it on the other 50 models for the last 5 years. The new 2 does look good in blue.

TonM3 · 11-04-2021, 07:05 PM

The best looking current BMW, by a lot.

TonM3 · 11-04-2021, 07:07 PM

Passenger width delete ---> No fat chicks.

Ikester19 · 11-04-2021, 07:15 PM

Yep that looks good! Would look better without the black skateboard style skirts IMO

psuibmw · 11-04-2021, 07:31 PM

Also, does that mean the driver and passenger seats are not symmetrical 🤔 I would have a problem with that ☹️

Not fattys?

Edit: Next guy beat me to it with the visual aid

///M TOWN · 11-04-2021, 07:59 PM

Interesting

Almost as wide as the outgoing M2

Side kickers definitely need some paint matching

hoyasaxa · 11-04-2021, 08:00 PM

Shame about the door handles.

I just noticed that! Those handles look terrible on a BMW.

I wish. Here's PB, Interlagos, and Le Mans.
