Their surrogate will solider on its rear-wheel-drive layouts for fun purists. The story will be interesting after reading Auto Bild’s latest report showing the 2 family series will grow to include the first time Gran Coupe pinned for the launch of 2021. Unlike two-door models, new members of the family are said to have a front-wheel-drive layout, with an optional xDrive on a particular version.

This will actually be quite different from the CLAR-based Coupe (G42) and Cabrio (G43) as it will be supported by the UKL platform already used by some BMWs, such as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the BMW Gran Tourer minivan, the X1 crossover, and the 1 Series sedan. The latter – sold exclusively in China – will actually serve as the foundation for the 2 Gran Coupe series. Codenamed F44, the four-door Coupe will be the global model and set up for the next rival-gen Mercedes CLA.
While the Gran Coupe, also known as a sedan, will be based on the front-wheel-drive UKL platform along with many of the current Mini ranges, 1-series range, as well as the BMW X2 and its siblings, the Coupe and Cabriolet will be reported using Rear-wheel-drive platform, according to UK Auto Express.
That’s good news for those who prefer the rear wheels in their BMW passenger cars to do the driving, rather than being a four-door Mini Cooper with a BMW exterior.
The latest clue about the 2-series Coupe comes from BMW’s chief engineer Klaus Frolich, who asked questions about the platform for the upcoming I4 electric car.

“This is our cluster architecture. It is behind the wheels-drive our car; From 2 successors (and) to X7, “Frolich said, according to Auto Express, it seems to indicate that some 2-series models will Rear-wheel drive.
We haven’t heard anything about a full-on M version of front-wheel-drive BMWs, so, for now, it seems unlikely to be rumored that the 2 GC series will get one. Needless to say, M2 Coupe will live to see a new generation following the debut of the regular model early next decade.
The third Gran Coupe that comes from Bavaria will not be the only new FWD-based model as the next 1 Series will climb on the UKL platform along with the Mini. BMW’s entry-level model received another facelift earlier this year and it would have to make its way for a new generation either at the end of 2018 or early 2019.
The Platform that he intended, a highly scalable one, is the CLAR structure, which underlies a range of models ranging from the size of the 3-series to the 5-series and up to the 7-Series. Believe it or not, all of those models and more–X3 current, X4, X5, and X7–share the CLAR architecture, which is also suitable for future BMW electric models, which is why Frolich talks about the upcoming I4.
What is unique about the CLAR platform with the BMW range is that it is not the front-wheel-drive platform-the role played by the UKL platform for small cars-while the CLAR is used with the Rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models.
For what it’s worth, this report suggests that the 2-series Coupe and the convertible will be very different from their four-door siblings – the 2-series Gran Coupe is expected to be offered solely with the xDrive all-wheel-drive when it lands in the Americas States. Coupe and convertible, on the other hand, are expected to offer more fans of the BMW classic driving experience.
