BMW have already said it will be. When the F20 was announced a UK magezine asked BMW why they kept it rwd, and the BMW man (can't remember who it was) said that they had to keep the six cyl engines for the F20 platform for the US market... i.e the forthcoming 2 series cars.

It maybe that certain EU markets might not get the six cyl cars sold in them, due to the small numbers sold, in the same way that the E81/E87 130i was dropped from the UK market in 2009 because so few were being sold.
