Same here, just purchased one and I get it in march, personally, I love everything about it.
This is probably the best affordable luxury sedan.
I really don’t get why people are hating on this car. In my opinion it looks beautiful with more than adequate power.

Cause it’s FWD and looks like an economy compact car. Because it really does have the dimensions of one. The problem isn’t that it’s an inherently bad car. The problem is that it’s incredibly overpriced for what it is, and pretty clear that BMW plans to sell this car to buyers who care more about the badge on the front more than anything.

Priyam Gajjar then they have no reason to buy this BMW unless all they want is the badge. There are other cars with better technology and power for the same price. That’s why people hate on this car. It’s not very unique either. I believe it shares its platform with a Kia.

Yummy Hershey it’s not unique? Bmw have never made a car like this ever 😂 if this isn’t unique I don’t know what is. What’s a better car? Cla35? Which is more expensive? This is actually cheaper then the other German cars

I was ready to crap on this car as well (even though I like the styling), but after driving one it's deceptively fun and very fast/agile.
nice car nice driving😉😉😉😉
Should have been called M220i or M230i, the 35 name might confuse people expecting the 6-cylinder engine... Otherwise looks like a fun car and the interior is cool. Great video as always

Decent car, really makes me appreciate my ‘16 M235i xdrive coupe. Got the last of a dying breed #N55 til the wheels fall off
Gone are the days where BMW made good looking cars.

@@1minutequickvideos-169 I think the BMWs look insanely good. But, I test drove one and the steering was wonky. What the heck. Everything else was really good. BMW used to be the best at handling, but I think they don't do so good anymore. I wanted to buy 330I. Test drove it. Everything was amazing except the steering was so odd. Kinda wonky is the best way I can describe it. Just so disappointed great looking on the outside, inside and fun to drive using the flappy paddles.
FWD in a BMW, the "Ultimate Driving Machine" everyone.

I just drove a 2021 Storm Bay and it was incredible! I mean this car handles well, very comfortable and ergonomics are state of the art! I don't know what the beef is all about... If you're buying a car to race then get the M3 or M240i or m340i ... this comes close however 0 - 100mph range... top end is lacking though... although you can always do a tune on it (f44 JB or JB4) if you want more... JB give you ~4.5 psi over stock and it's an easy install to between the TMAP. Car is very nimble being that's it's a 4 Cyl (less weight than the inline six) Storm Bay with black accents makes this car look very nice! Stock M235i Coupe and I raced already and we were neck and neck... so I think power wise it's properly labeled :) Def. great car for the 4 Cyl Turbo crowd and most likely there will be some aftermarket and better tunes for more power in the near future. Tires are $465.00 each @ discount tire LOL (unless you can get them on sale or barely used cheaper...).

i def agree with you, i have a white 2021, love it, def huge upgrade from my 2020 STI, more luxury, and handles somewhat similar, but tbh for a lower model 2 series hitting 0-60 in 4.4 seconds is pretty insane(going off car wow numbers , but online it apparently hits in 4.8 seconds which i think is way underrated😂

The beef is that this car looks ugly as hell and its a 4 cylinder. Anything below 6 cylinder doesn't deserve to have the M badge on it.
Oh boy, yet another BMW.
I don't like your videos I love it
Do a Lamborghini Urus POV test drive next
Nice car with Nice man😙😙😙
if you guys wanna see a straight piped version , i uploaded multiple vids, since no one has really posted an modded exhaust vids of this car! sounds like a baby m3 tbh🤷🏻♂️🔥
How much did you buy
Looks like a fancier Carolla
I think it’s got the low end Supra Engine too.
Why everyone hates this car? I kinda like it

Is it in Pune
Its funny. J.D. Power and Associates ranked the BMW 2 Series as a dependable compact luxury sedan.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like a WRX from the side
For an affordable BMW,its pretty decent.
oh ***** a thats 45,000
You have good car. you have buggaty cheron ?
Another road tester who is the kind of driver who drives with his thumbs on the inside of the steering wheel
Front grill reminds me of Kia Stinger / Kia Forte GT lol
Only thang wrong with that car is it’s not manual transmission! Peace.
An expensive corolla minus the reliability.
What an ugly fat car. It looks like it ate the previous 2 series. Stupid big grill in addition. They call it "coupé" but it has 4 doors. And it is no longer RWD. Take good care of your old 1 series and 2 series, guys. When they eventually have to go to the junkyard, you won't be able to replace them.
