I think this 2 series gran coupe is essentially a derivative of the new 1 series hatchback (UKL front-drive platform) that the european market will be getting, while the 2 series coupe will just share the same name, but ride on BMW's CLAR platform for its RWD drivetrain. I think it also has to do with their nomenclature, as gran coupes have even numbers, and they can't go into the negatives, and they refuse to call it a 1 series, so it has to be a 2 series, despite not really sharing the platform. Same thing is overseas already with the 2 series Gran Tourer/Active Tourer which aren't really related to the 2 coupe.
