The positioning of this car in the BMW lineup is very tricky, and it's obvious that BMW is already doing a bunch of things to put it in a very specific niche, i.e. no S engine, no CF roof, 4 colors, one interior. It will be a very special car, but they are making it 'take it or leave it' for a reason. That's my gut feeling.

Well, if their 3er sedan and coupe (now 4 series) didn't get so big and bloated, they wouldn't need a model under it.
But, then again, all cars of all makes and models have gotten bigger due to more electronics, bigger engines, more safety features, bigger wheels and brakes, more amenities.
