Front wheel and rear wheel 2 series at the same time/generation?
From marketing perspective, this is really terrible..

I'm Not sure how this got approved by corporate heads either. It would have been simpler and numerically appropriate to make a 1er sedan out of this FWD " gran coupe " platform. |
Can't charge more if it's a 1. 2 sounds better. Same reason Audi has an a3 and not an a2 based on their naming convention as well.
Bmw knows that the bulk of leases don't know or care which wheels drive the car. And based on the 4er being a departure from the current g20 3er (think grills) then Bmw is already working to make people ok with a drastic design difference between the sedan and coupes. Just in this circumstance the 2er shares the badge between 2 and 4 doors.
I come from having an e46 and an e90 and now I own an f30. I'd love an e46 sized sedan that's rwd bias but an awd 300hp 2er with four doors will be just fine as a daily
