So the Z2 really got the axe. Shame, I was looking forward to a small BMW RWD coupe.

It didn’t get the axe per se, it just is not being shown here. It exists in concept form (in 2 versions a la MINI). I would not be surprised to see them in LA or at Detroit to offset the X3 SAV intro also the MINI Countryman cross over.

-Edit- Not going to be shown anytime soon

I thought we were going to see a 3 series GT?

Dede- 3 Series GT no, 5 in production form.

A source of ours has stated that if a 3 GT would be given the green light it would more than likely be built in the US along the X3- to make the plant run as full as possible. This has yet to be confirmed but we trust the source.

There’s really no need for a 3 series GT. Just bring over some more exciting wagons.
