Just spotted this article:

According to Auto Motor und Sport, the German car manufacturer takes in account supplementing the “Gran Coupe” range with a rear-wheel-drive 2 Series with four-doors.
The German magazine reported that Klaus Fröhlich, BMW’s research and development chief, pleads for a RWD 4-door coupe to join the current range of the 2 Series.
Since a 2-Series Gran Coupe will be built on a platform shared with the 3, 5 and 7 Series - each model featuring a different wheelbase and track width - it will be viable for economic reasons as well. Mind you, the car wouldn’t come sooner than 2018 and it will be a rival to Mercedes CLA.
