Keeping the RWD platform would have opened the 2er GC to 6-cyl engines, which I'm sure would've been appreciated as well.

As it is, there's just too much overlap between the 1er sedan and this 2er GC.
There is only overlap if both are available. The 1er sedan is only sold in China and Mexico AFAIK, and I doubt it will ever be released in Europe or North America.
