Honestly speaking, I like it more than the MB B Class.

And in a related note, this goes hand-in-hand especially Audi announcing that they may revive the A2

Yup it will be primarily FWD.

And I'm aware that the enthusiasts and purists will say that this Active Tourer dilutes and cheapens the BMW brand. They may have their own opinion and that's fine.......but personally, I like this car a lot

Oh and I just heard that xDrive AWD versions will come later this year.

So I guess there may be hope for the N55 six-cylinder engine to be installed in this vehicle.

M235i Active Tourer would be fantastic IMHO

I have to give the BMW fans credit, I am reading the comments and they are hilarious….

Not too long ago they were screaming this.. I have to say personally Mercedes has skyrocketed as my favorite luxury brand (after Lexus), then Audi then BMW..(Porsche is its own realm)

Hehe is it about how this vehicle is ruining their beloved brand?

Well personally, as I've said earlier, the BMW enthusiasts and purists may have their own opinion.........but personally, I love this car a lot.

M235i Active Tourer BRING IT ON!!!

It's the only time I wish there is a "hate" button on CL. What are those people at BMW thinking?

Not only that, but BMW has no V6 motors in the parts bin. I can't begin to imagine how horrifying it'd be to try and mount an inline 6 (especially a decent-size one like the N55) transversely.
