Well, BMW is now coming late to the party with the 2GC, so clearly they see an opportunity. We’ll see if the "
if you can't beat ‘em, join ‘em!" FWD 2 Series Gran Coupe survives more than a single generation. Personally, I think it would have been far wiser to have a RWD 2er Sedan with an M2 Sedan as well. At least BMW would have something that differentiates their product from the others.
I've attached a photo of the second quarter 2018 stats that show the ass kickage of the sedan models that were up against the 2er coupe only.
Every single series model BMW SELLS does better as a sedan than a coupe if offered in both variants.
3 > 4
5 > 6
7 > 8
X3 > X4
X5 > X6
X7 will sell more than an X8
And a 2er Sedan would have sold more than the coupe only.
