I am hoping there are some Xdrive offerings.

After owning a Focus RS, it was heavy and AWD, but (extremely) fun.

‘If’ Xdrive is done right and paired with a manual it can be very engaging, my hope is BMW follows other makers and offers their FWD models in Xdrive and a manual.
I doubt the manual will be offered on the 2GC seeing as the 1 series hatch in which its based off of doesn't offer one (except for lower trim non-US models), I doubt even the next generation RWD 2 series will have one as well (although I hope I am wrong). I think BMW is going to keep the manual only for the M2/3/4 at this point going forward.
