What wasn ‘t up for debate is the need for this car. With the CLA and the A3 looking particularly impressive and expected to do very well in both the US and China, BMW would be foolish to let anymore time slip by. 2015 may feel like like a quick gestation period for a new BMW model but the reality is that most of the development has already been done. We expect the 2GC to be marketed in similar flavors as the 1 and 2 Series. That means in the US expect a 228i and a M235i along with (drum role please) potentially a version fully massaged by the M division – the M2.
