The reason I included M240i as well is because it allows for the possibility that they could reuse that name from the prior generation car while replacing the I6 with an I4 that makes similar power. True, they won't do that for the F40 1 Series hatchback, instead replacing the current M140i with an M135i. But unlike that car (and every other sub 3-Series offering), the 2 Series Coupe will be built on CLAR and thus remain RWD, so I figure they may use that as an excuse to break the rule and set it apart from its FWD/AWD siblings.

You see these all the time. I expect when I go next month to Switzerland I will still see plenty of these models.

Even though it should actually be called a 5er GT. But I will go ahead and speculate hypothetically. Even though nothing has been discussed internally. This is the last Gran Turismo.

Model lineup for G42 is just too early to predict. Give it another 6 months or so. |

They could probably replace it with the G38 in most countries tbh.

Are there pure chain restrictions or does awd + snow tires suffice for the passes there? I suppose there will be spots where only chains will do...

An X4L and X6L could replace the GT quite well for almost everyone.

But the upcoming G42 2er (i suppose that maybe, the next M2 is G87 coded?) will be produced in Mexico only for the American market, or for all the rest of the world also?
