  • BMWs should be rear-wheel drive with six cylinders!", or at least that's what BMW purists would say. So in almost every sense, the 218i Gran Coupe is basically the antithesis of a "true BMW" - but can it be just as fun?

    Unpopular opinion, and I'm concerned to even comment this (considering the level of hate towards this car in this comment section), but i actually find this a rather nicely designed option

      It actually looks good and sexy, and if you see reviews from western countries they actually find this gran coupe as one of the best looking BMW models. But here, Malaysian just don’t like anything new to their eyes especially because they’re used to the typical BMW rear looks.

      This is luxury car. Of course not cheap than normal cars. Btw, are you really sure that this car is poorly built quality? In the past, used to be bad quality somehow, so I agree with your points but not anymore, latest BMW quality is getting better. Even from the survey said BMW quality is now around top 10.
