Good News: Next Generation 2 Series coupe will remain RWD, adapting to the new CLAR platform on the next gen G20 3 series and G29 Z4. The 2 Series Gran Coupe (4 Door) will be FWD based on the UKL platform shared with the X1/2.
Bad News: The 2 Series Convertible won't be returning. The Z4 will be replacing its spot, and the 4 Series Convertible (which is rumored to be returning to a soft top) will be the other choice in convertibles, although it will be larger than the 2 series.
