Please don't make any more pretend "GT" coupes. 5 door coups are ugly - so no thankyou.

As the new features and factors of BMW are enhancing, I anticipate the next Gen to gain access to large hints from the future 1er sedan?

If the UKL is really RWD compatible, then the next 1 series better be RWD!!
The Modular architecture is adaptable but this would be far too expensive to adapt for volume considering that the 2er Active and Gran Tourers based upon UKL are responsible for 70% globally of total 2er units and that includes the RWD Coupe and Cabrio.
A more flexible solution has been considered and when you first hear the upcoming announcement you will know it makes sense.
Would this also coincide with the movement of production of X1 (and x2 ) to regensburg instead of Leipzig ?

If you're going to build a 5 door coupe, think Alpha Romeo GTV...Nice proportions.

i'd like a 5-door Gran Turismo.

those Gran Coupes are just cliche looking....i much prefer the awkwardness of the Gran Turismo.......has way more character than those modern 'sleek' BMWs....

a small Gran Turismo would be great...and practical!
