BMW really struggles in the design and interior department for several years now. You cant even compare them to Mercedes anymore. Interior is still dated in these BMWs and the front and rear design?

What about the 2022 BMW series 2 230i what do think it will top out at on the Autobahn. I think with the four cylinder 2.0 turbo it would be more economical on fuel consumption especially with gas prices on the rise.
everyones talking about "cant wait for the M2" but this is a way more relevant car for about 80% of people
I just got the M240i 2023 like 3 weeks ago and have no interest in getting an M2. The M240i is literally the perfect car for me!
