It is funny that they need to create a 1 series and this 2-series which are probably about the size/weight the old e30 3-series used to be; and the new 3-series looks to be as big as the 5-series was at one point.
Well, the new M4 is roughly the size of my e39 M5 (~3900lbs) but only weighs 3200 lbs which is what the e46 M3 weighed I believe. I've been pretty annoyed by the bloating of BMWs across the board, but this has piqued my curiosity.
I think the 2 series is kinda ugly from the back, which is disappointing now that all the BMWs actually look good again after the 2004-2008 disaster. I also don't understand why 2 series model numbering doesn't match displacement which is silly. I'll be interested to see how an M2 turns out (a real one, not a 235 M sport). If they put all that modern power and tech in actual e30 size and weight that will be a really impressive car.
