If you’re a regular reader, you might have picked up that I’m lukewarm on the 3 series coupe – its too big to have such a small backseat and the coupe specific electric steering is a huge leap backwards from the sedan’s hydraulic setup.

If you want a BMW coupe, the 1 series coupe spotted testing will be here in a year’s time.

It’s closer in size to my favorite BMW coupe bodystyle to date, the E36.

If BMW dials out the understeer, knobby ride and aloof feel that plagues versions of the 1 series already on sale they’ll have a car that could put BMW back on the path they should have never deviated from.

(Thanks to reader SMG for the tip).
