I'm thinking no, based on confirmation that a 1 series sedan will be here for 2016... sadly FWD. I really don't see them having a 1er sedan and a 2er GC.

"Among the 10 selected, the M235i is the only BMW, replacing the 3-series and ending its long reign. For the first time in more than two decades."
Yup... the F30 was/is a complete fail. After my E92 M3, I would have to consider the new M2 over the M4.

I can't agree that a Mazda 6 is better than a BMW m3/m4 or 3 series. Nope. Sorry. |

That pretty much says it. The 3-4 has just become too big.

I sat in a 2 last week and it felt kinda cramped compared to my E46.

I agree that the current F30 shouldn't make the list...but replacing it with the M235i? That thing is just as soft as the F30...Shouldn't be anywhere near that list in my opinion.

Not really. The Accord has been on this list longer than any car, yet BMW isn't looking at the Accord as the benchmark. Cadillac is looking at the 3 series as its competition and are aiming at those buyers. Honda and Mazda buyers are not looking at BMW.
