I used to own an e36 sedan back in college and I loved it. I was surprised to learn that the m235i is about the same size, because it somehow looks stubbier than the e36 in photos and videos. The great 2GC renders posted here earlier felt disconnected, I had no sense of size
So I went into photoshop with the goal of comparing them,
but it wasn't until I decided to simply draw on a second set of doors that it clicked for me. I don't know if anyone else will find this interesting, but it was amazing how much it changed with back doors. It now looks longer and sleeker.
Please excuse my terrible photoshop work, I literally just used the paint brush tool and painted doors in, and then tried my best to shift the B-pillar. Roof line is 100% unchanged.
And here is the original comparison I made. It was a slow work day for me:
This makes me excited for the idea of a 2GC, or an M2GC in the future.
