It's because the car was going to originally be called 2er not the 1er.

Marketed as a throw back to the 2002. The marketing has been used on both the 1er and the 2er.

I dunno. I kind of like the subtle look. If fact, I'd prob buy one today if it was light, hydraulic steering, high revving n/a motor. Ahh, the good old days.

Only because this thread is taking back old school, here is one of the original designs for 1/2addicts from that time...

Looks good. In all fairness, and minus the butt ugly hood line, the new 2er looks good.

You know what, back to the hood line, especially on the 2, I feel that BMW could have cut the hood to run above the kidney grills.

Somebody introduce me to the designers that came up with this mess. I'd like to violate them!
