I'll hold out until "it goes to 11". Which, judging by this, should eventually happen.

Yes the 9er has been green lighted and will have a formal announcement in 2016.
The 9er is for the select few who demand further exclusivity and will be sold through chosen specialised dealers.
It is developed from the next generation of Rolls-Royce Phantom models which continue a unique,innovative and exclusive lightweight journey.

The pre-cursor to the 9er. Concept Vision Future Luxury. Confirms via global clinics the concept has toured that customers would like a more exclusive BMW but one that offers the driver as well as the passenger.

That part of the article is worded in such a way as to be confusing.

The 2 Series coupe and convertible were always slated to run through 2020 in their current form. After that, for their next generation, they will join the rest of the small car lineup on UKL, just like the new 2 Series Gran Coupe will.

"switch from an ancient rear-wheel-drive architecture to a less expensive, lightweight, modular front-wheel-drive platform"

Pretty much sums up BMW these days.

The slightly larger 2 Series coupe and convertible will stay on a rear-wheel-drive platform for the foreseeable future, but an all-new 2 Series Gran Coupe will switch to BMW’s modular front-wheel-drive matrix when it shows up in late 2020.
Why?

Quote:
Around that same time, we’ll see an all-new four-door luxury coupe positioned between the 7 Series and the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Although a BMW coupe would normally wear an “even number” designation, management does not want to revive the little-loved 8 Series...
Why?

Scott, what happened to the X7? Is that still happening or has it been canned by BMW? There's no sign of reports or spy shots and I remember you saying it was supposed to come out in 2016..

Over complicating their originally simple and common sense range of cars. It becomes ever so mind boggling..

The X7 is scheduled to be launched in 2017, Spartanburg have almost finished the new wing X7 (And hypothetically X8) will be manufactured.
The first Spy-shots are coming. Patience.

Will there be a 2 door?

Also what kind of price are we talking about? I can see it starting at 150k and ending around 200k. But anything over that, you can get cars that are a good amount more "exclusive".

They are keeping 2er Coupe and Cabrio and now Gran Coupe RWD and xDrive.
Its all to do with a very,very convincing machine called the M2.
There will be a UKL based 2er Gran Turismo.
There is going to be a radical shift in the C segment. The 1er as it stands will be superseded by a new Sport hatch built on the UKL architecture which will be identified as the 2er. Its all to bring alignment to MINI Episode IV which will be a C segment car like the current 1er. A new 1er will be a twin sister to the upcoming mini-MINI.

This is major news if all of this is indeed a go for production. I know this plot has been told before, but it has been sketchy at best.

But, with two different platforms for the same series of cars in a single generation, this is getting confusing. This doesn't feel like a scalable long term solution. I realize we have the 2AT/2GT today on UKL, but this was thought to be a transition period into the next generation. Speaking of the 2GT, if they are now adding a 2 Gran Turismo to the lineup, that's going to be two distinct 2GT (one "Tourer", one "Turismo") models sitting right next to each other.
