BMW's design team clearly raided the top shelf this time. The 2 Series Gran Coupe now features the Glow kidney grille, a trickle-down from the flagship 7 Series. It's more showbiz than subtle, and it gives the car a much-needed sense of occasion, especially at night. The new arrow-shaped LED tail lights are slick, unmistakably BMW, and the faux rear diffuser, while not fooling anyone, is at least neatly integrated. Exposed tailpipes would've been a nice touch to augment its sporty intentions.
