It doesn't fit between the X1 and X3.

It is the smallest sibling of the X4 and X6

Hmm, I strongly considered buying a 4-series Gran Coupe because it's the best-looking BMW 4-door vehicle right now.

Whereas I'd never consider a 328i (nothing against it, it's just not my thing).

Speaking only for myself, I don't really see the 4GC and 3er two as equivalent. One is sheer hawtness, and the other is a nice sport sedan that I see pretty much everywhere where I live.
THIS.

After looking at and driving both, I really like the 4 series gran coupe.

Looks like a derivative of Lincoln. I think this is called "convergent evolution"...

The render and the photo of the X2 in camo do not match. As for the release date, correct me if mistaken but the X2 in the photo appears ready to shed its camo and appear sooner than later. Regarding the niche, it intends to fill, BMW may be arriving late to an already crowded field.

Nice idea. Every SUV now has their Coupe version. More variety to choose from.

Scott,

Questions regarding the X2

Any chance we see the following?

Surround/top view cameras
Adaptive M suspension
iDrive 5.0

Thanks

The designation M35i almost sounds like a 6 cylinder, although I realize that is unlikely on this platform.

A manual transmission for the US-version X1 M35i would be a excellent option.

From the picture, side profile looks a bit similar to MB GLA.

Limitations on a shorter wheelbase give the vehicle a more condensed look which the X4 has in this current cycle. So the decision was to make it a lower roofed SAV without the many compromises of completely lowering the roof.
The next X4 (G02) is slightly longer therefore allowing a further stretch on the roof line making it less condensed and more in proportion like the X6.

I cannot begin to describe how much I hate these stupid "coupé" 4x4s, like the X4/X6 and GLE/GLC Coupé.

Hopefully, BMW will offer no special treatments for the X2. I'd be really annoyed if they limited the rumoured performance versions (135i or M variant) only to the X2. Thankfully, that hasn't been the case with the X3/X4 and X5/X6.

p.s. Larson renders on AutoBild have always been OTT and inaccurate. I wouldn't be surprised if the X2 didn't look anything like these two renders.

I still think it looks like a Xdrive version of the next gen F20

Not saying that's a bad thing. Just that BMW needs to come up with something a little more Rad for the new gen of SAV coupe style buyers.

Perhaps two doors would have allowed for the flow down sloped back common amongst the X4, X6 set to work properly.

This design looks more like a competitor for the Merc GLA
