The new 2-Series is the same length while adding 2" of width compared to the E92 coupe. That's why this car looks less awkward than the last generation.
This is why Porsche never changes the 911 (and they still manage to get some negative feedback with new releases). It seems to be in vogue to dislike new BMW designs. It's all subjective, but the vociferous negative reaction on social media is puzzling (check Instagram). Best to just let the sales data speak.
A large number of the E36 guys thought the E46 was over-styled in 1998/1999.
