What we now have confirmation on is that the next-generation F44 UKL vehicle that we already knew was coming is indeed a 2 Series Gran Coupe as speculated.
Not that I don't think a UKL vehicle can be a good product. The new RS3 is getting great reviews, and it employs a platform similar to BMW's UKL. The problem is, so far there is no apparent plan to do M UKL vehicles - only M Performance. That means, as things stand, while we'll very likely get an S3 competitor (M235i GC), we won't get an RS3 competitor (M2 GC). However, that could still change in the future, and theoretically it could even change in time for an F44-2GC-based M2 GC to appear at some point.

My best guess - and it's really just a guess with very little hard info supporting it - is we'll get 228i (or whatever they'll call the mid-level B46) in FWD and AWD and M235i AWD.
