bleh... Rear doors are too small...

I'm in Madrid this week... There are a few giant banners around town introducing the new "Serie 1 Sport"... The 1-er 3-door hatch. Looks better than the 5-door, but I think the coupe is best of them so far...

If it truly looked like that and BMW actually built it, I think it would sell really well.

Edit: The front door is still too long.

Looks kind of cool. But my next car only needs two doors.

Interesting. I will probably never own a two door car again unless it's a commuter econobox or something. The convenience of back doors outweighs anything a two door has to offer. (I decided this when I had the M3 after the 330 - well before I was thinking about kids, too).
