BMW seems to have trouble making small sporty cars these days though...cough, 235, cough...so that's why you see all this hope when a new small and hopefully sporty car is debuted as a concept. The core values of the company (the old ones anyway) work. It's a proven commodity. Why they continue to try and be the GM of Europe will never make sense to me...aka trying too hard to be average at many different things instead of really good at a few.

RWD and M2. Now BMW might get my money.
With the current crop of cars, there is no chance of separating me from $55-65 large. Right now there is nothing much better than my 8 year old E90 335 Sport. Yeah, some new technology but nothing worth the incremental $40+ large to play.

So you're saying that if BMW does use UKL for this car, they'll have consciously thrown money away? What about the 2AT, 2GT, and X1 - would those have been cheaper to build on the RWD platform too? |

News flash!!!!!!
BMW finally figures out that a FWD platform allows for a larger interior space. Such technology and design leadership! They must have found some old technical papers from Sir Alec Issigonis stuck in a drawer somewhere when they bought Mini and said "Hey here's a good idea, I'm suprised no one has ever thought of it!"

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

Enough space in the rear passenger compartment?

I like it. Give it to me in an xDrive configuration with a B48 engine with 300+ hp and I think it could be a future daily driver of mine here in the USA.
