So looks like BMW finally listened to me...

FWD can be fun too. And I’m sure BMW have enough overall experience to make it dynamically appealing (which top gear review suggests).
Look wise - pretty generic. Nothing to hate really, but nothing to love either.
I think the main problem will be price. I would expect north of 60k here - way too much for a warm hatch.

Edit: I’ve just checked bmw website and M135i is 52k, so this one should be what - around 40? Not that bad...

Not disagreeing with you on that, but others do it better without the BMW premium. Personal preference here but if I really wanted FWD I would have bought more than 1 (shortlived) non-BMW (non-rwd) in the past 22 years for myself.
