BMW insider Scott27, once again releases new rumors about the BMW 2 Series design language. According to this source, having the 2 series will allow BMW to expand its product line and he also confirms that the design will be different from the current 1 Series. As usual, please take this information with a grain of salt. Here is an excerpt of the explanation and a rendering:
The lower intakes reflect the opposite direction of the headlights by being more angular in an upwards direction. The lines on the bumper are highly prominent on the front of the car and help protrude the car for class-leading front safety.
The “eye-bags” under the headlights connect and flow downwards with the lower intakes forming the air curtain at the side of the intake. And depending what model-line there will be the option of decorative trim surrounding circular fog-lights.
The overall appearance shows a kinship with the 1er but interprets its DNA in a sportier format which brings the car into line with the other BMW Coupes such as the 6er and forthcoming 4er Coupe. It can be said that there is a similar comparison to the larger 6er Coupe and some say it looks like a shrunken 6er in its dynamic outline but in keeping with entry Coupe proportions.
The rear of the car enhances the look of today’s 1er Coupe and Cabrio with similar shaped but more elongated L-shape on the bootlid again connecting the line of BMW Coupe’s and the overall BMW character.
