A new car just showed up in the company parking lot–a 2014 BMW M235i. It’s awesome, but we know what you’re thinking: What the heck is a BMW 2 Series? Basically, it’s the 1 Series’ slightly larger successor. And yes, by “successor,” we mean you can no longer walk into a BMW dealership and buy a 1 Series. Unless you …
Euro E36M3 is still the hot ticket. Crazy.
Probably the perfect sized car, shame they aren't doing the hatchback in the states.
I'd love a liftback coupe.
odd numbers are 4 doors.. even are 2. 1 Series should be the four door, 2 series should be the coupe'
Not so true. I present the 4 Series Gran Coupe. It's a 4 door hatchback.

And I'm still trying to figure out how that is much different than the 3 series Gran Turismo

Nothing German makes sense. Stop trying. Lol.
BMW is trying to cover every vehicle transportation segment ever created or dreamed of. 2 door, 4 door, 5 door, SUV, CUV, Minivan, humpy back whale thing, electric................some very good, some OK and some just kinda weird. It can't be too long before the BMW pick up arrives followed soon after by the Bimmer roller skates, surf board, skis and soap box derby racer. Me, I like the old 2002 and the M 3 series line. What ever happened to the The Ultimate Driving Machine philosophy?

Evens are 'coupes' (2 or 4 door) and convertibles. Then odds are sedans, wagons, and whatever you want to call the 'gran touring' back thing...Except for the 2-series, which covers (2 door) coupe, convertible, and a not-sold-here FWD (4 door) hatchy-minivanish thing based on the Mini platform. The 1-series is both 2 and 4 door hatchbacks, the while I believe are related to the 2-series coupe and convertible for now, will (along with the X1) become FWD on a similar platform to the 2-series "tourer" MPV's before they come to the USA.
Simple as that.
