oh wow, i love it!
The dashboard is almost the same as that of the 2AT, but it has some marked differences, the door panels are not very visible but they are totally different at first glance, I will comment on the rest later when I appreciate it well, but I really like what I see
2 Series Active Tourer inteior looks spot on inside the car.
It’s a mini-X5. With the iX1 now it will as popular as ever.
Wow ? beautiful tailights and a nice front ,good job bmw couldn't have done it better this will sell like hot cakes
These are better when opening the door the "Dutch" way. Which means opening the door with the right hand so one can look over the shoulder to see if there is an upcoming car/bike.Dislike for the absence of 'aviation style' buckle-shaped door pulls, which have otherwise been spreading to a large part of the lineup since around 2018 -- not only are they different esthetically in a good way from the very commonly used stick-shaped door pulls, not only do they give off a sense of sturdiness that's always welcome with controls you are constantly interacting with, most importantly they genuinely perform better ergonomically, as they allow for the most direct door opening motion by a simple wrist flexion, no twisting the wrist downwards on top of that

As seen on the leaked visuals, BMW now claims these stick-shaped door pulls somehow have a "familiar X model design", which doesn't make any sense: the X5, X6, X7 and even the not yet launched XM all have the buckle-shaped door pulls (the X3/X4 still have the older stick-shape design due to having been launched earlier, and the X2 mimicks the current X1). Looks like unnecessary downgrading for the latest lower-end FWD-based models: 2er AT, now X1, likely next X2.
