Sorry, my rubbish posting - the M140i. Just my opinion
The M140i is a hatch, doesn't look anything like a saloon as it's a hatchback.. 
I know it’s a hatch, just think it looks odd - IMO - especially in the profile.
I get what you mean. I agree.
The bonnet and screen, plus doors (front half) look like a big saloon in profile and the arse end looks like a Victorian perambulator.
I always thought its predecessor, the Compact, looked odd as well. Like a saloon that had been reversed into the garage without putting the door up first.
VW’s strong point was never big saloons and BMW don’t make attractive small hatches.
