BMW 1 Series Coupe Caught Cold!

BMW are currently testing what seems to be a 1 series Cabriolet.....if you take a closer look you will find a hardtop and not a soft top.

Dubbed as the 2 Series this coupe will be an alternative to the regular BMW 1 Series coupe.

There are a few diffences between the two, this prototype will have horizontal lights witch could be placed on the bootlid. Another is the roofline and the way the rear end is shaped. The squared off rear end on this prototype should give more luggage space than the regular 1 Series Coupe and the roofline seems straighter than normal almost making it look like a sedan.
