Another video where they compare the M240i to the M2.
The G42 is lower, longer, and just as wide as the old M2. The proportions in person are on-point. It looks way less toy-like than any of its predecessors. It has flared fenders and a prominent hood bump. For a non-M, I don’t know what more one can reasonably expect. |

I guess that this guy has no clue that the G42 is built on a larger platform than the previous 2 series? If all cars followed his design proportion rules, all cars would look alike? I'm just astounded that BMW hasn't already contacted him to help them correct the errors they've made. Maybe he can take his smokepot and kitty with him to work.
I like the styling of the previous 2. I also like the styling of the new model. I'm glad I don't have to try to make a living as a back seat car driver or designer.

Im surprised at all the hate honestly. I think he did a great job personally, and I know its all subjective. I think the headlights looked great, they accentuated the width of the car.
