A 2 series GC definitely takes less time of development than a M2...
BMW was busy making the Active Tourer and other BS so they are "a bit late" with the GC. I think they just underestimated the need for a 2 series GC in their planing/concept stage.
I am just saying it isn't too late since the 2 series just launched and a GC is quickly made.

I just don't see a 2er GC coming from BMW, at all. And the lack of test mules just confirms my suspicions.
The main problem is the size of a (potential) 2er GC. BMW will have to charge $45K USD for a car that is no bigger (smaller?) than an E46. That may have worked 10 years ago, but people in the US want a larger car than that.
I guess MB is trying to fill that hole via the CLA250. I'm sure BMWAG is watching the sales of that particular model very closely.
