Are these likely models or is this totally guessing?

The 2-series Gran Coupe is almost a certainty, but whether it comes in 228i, M235i, and/or M2 guise is still in the air.
Either way, BMW is really late to the market with this car. The core audience has been asking for a small RWD sedan since the twilight of the E90 was approaching, but the company let Audi and Mercedes beat them to the punch by a significant margin yet again. Mitigating risk is good, but BMW has been reeeeaally risk-averse in its consumer segment lately. Maybe they're gunshy after having spent so much R&D on the i brand. Dunno.

I would keep it all RWD if it were me, but it ain't my choice. Just hope that 4wd is offered on those poor models that get crippled by BMW's cost saving move to FWD. |

it looks like you rendered a big car though lol... it somehow to me feels like i'm looking at a 5series sized car. btw you did with the body line, the line that cuts through both doors and goes all the way to the back of the car... you connected the line to the spear of the tail lights... something they do on the 3series, e92 etc... but they didnt do for the 1, and wont for the 2... they like to swoop their small cars to look more 'aggressive' in slope.... doesnt do anything for me... the end result of some thought to make it look more agressive throws the line cutting above and over the tail light sucked imho on the 1... slightly more acceptable on the 2... but how you have it plus how the top of the tail light integrates with the swoop of the trunk is quite immersive and is the type of flow that makes sense. one crazy car is the new lexus is350 or whatever... talk about lines going all over the place sigh. |

ok... now we're talking I wonder how much it would cost to mod a 235i to get a rear end like that, exhaust and all? $8K?
