F20 5door spotted in USA - BMW 1-Series Forum (F20) 135i

At BMW HQ in NJ, last Sunday. What does this mean? 5door being considered for US? (havnt been keeping up with the talk here)
It's clearly a Euro spec, likely a 118i, with Sport trim package.

Don't get excited, BMW already said (quite loudly) that they will not be bringing the hatchback to States, because we don't deserve one.

Per their marketing & focus groups...

There are a lot of German personel who have flew in from Munich to oversee at BMW NA so it will be an exec or wifes runaround for their duration. You had E87's and you have X1's for German employees. Especially since the BMWNA CEO is German as is the new Head of marketing and communications for BMW NA.
