When BMW said they had no need for a sedan smaller than a 3 series, they must have meant a 3 series from 10 years ago...

No need for a RWD sedan smaller than a 3-series, apparently.

Is it confirmed to have FWD? That gear selector is used only for BMW's rear drive/rear biased models. Notice the 2 Active tourer and the new X1 don't have this shifter.

Center stack looks similar to X5/6 and G11 ones..which looks pretty nice. Cant tell much on the outside but im not holding my breath, looking at recent BMWs designs. Dont get all this FWD hate. Certainly i prefer RWD but at this price point i guess it doesnt make commercial sense, not to mention the back seat/trunk room that the RWD platform would take away in a car this size. Pray that they actually make a 2er GC which scott said that its platform can be used for both FWD and RWD. |

They can do only N26 xDrive and it will never really touch the 3er sales. The 2 is the new 3 anyways. They just keep upsizing each model so they have to complete the lower line up to stay competitive in every segment. Last edited by ORIGIN M.; 08-03-2015 at 11:05 PM.. |

So the F87 M2 will be the one and only since BMW M will not make a FWD M car.

Hmmmm I wish this car would be RWD - I'd be interested.
Always wanted a cheap, new BMW sedan but if its not RWD it's not really a BMW to me. Might grab a 2nd hand F20 hatchback or Audi A3 Sedan. Its funny that I actually really like the Audi A3 sedan, looks really nice and the fact that its FWD doesn't bother me too much. But somehow with a BMW I find it rather lame - because it is not what I expect from them.

So true.....you'll have so many people wanting to get into a BMW just because of that price point with all those goodies involved.

Kinda looks like the dct transmission level. Except with a different color accent.
