BMW screwed this up by not leaving the 3er as a smaller sedan.
Every other manufacturer got this done right....
Audi had an A4 and they moved in an A3 below it.
Mercedes had a C class and moved in CLA below it.
BMW should have simply made a 4 series coupe and sedan (F30/F80) and continued with both a 3 series coupe and sedan as F87 variants instead of trying to split the 3er into two models and then bring in a 2er coupe only and not even bringing a smaller sedan to market.
As it is.. the F87 2er (which should have been badged a 3er based on size and history) and the current F80 4 series are essentially the same vehicles with different wheel bases, and just as buyers find a valid reason to buy an F87 M2 over an F82 M4... they would be able to select between an F88 M2 sedan and an F80 M3...
