2 Series BMW 2er Gran Coupe Speculation

[Rolf]

It's not compact at all anymore, appearing similar in size to the 3 series, the rear especially looks too high for a 4dr coupe. Not digging this look so far.

It is the first time that a GrandCoupe will come out first than the coupe, unlike the 4 series, the 8 series and previously the 6 series, about the design, will be equal to 1 series hatch?
Or we will be looking at the future lines of the coupe?

I don't think it illustrates the G42 just as F22 did not show any similarities to the Active Tourer?
The outline is revealed.

Are we sure that the car below is not the one under the camo?

I would not worry. Underneath the cladding they say the 2er is every inch a modern BMW design with crisp lines and sharp sculpturing.
I cannot wait to see more uncovered. Because as before rivets equal false panels.

I think this will have a lot of shared design cues with the 8GC.

And now, something official from the global BMW PressClub website:

Sporty, elegant, exclusive: The first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.

BMW continues the current model offensive and announces innovative vehicle concept for the premium compact segment – world premiere in November 2019, worldwide market launch in the spring of 2020.

Munich. BMW consistently continues to pursue the brand’s current model offensive whilst developing an innovative vehicle concept for the premium compact segment. During the annual results press conference, BMW AG CEO Harald Krüger will announce the presentation of the first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. With the sporty and elegant four-door coupe, the premium automobile manufacturer is adding to its range in the compact segment a particularly design-oriented model for modern, urban target groups. The concept of a four-door coupe, already successful in higher vehicle classes, will in future combine a dynamic charisma and an expressive design with a high degree of everyday suitability also in the premium compact segment. The first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will make its word debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019, with the worldwide market launch beginning in the spring of 2020.

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe sets new accents in individuality, aesthetics and emotion in the premium compact segment. It combines an emotive design with sportiness and the latest innovations in operation and connectivity technology. Therefore, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe offers the ideal prerequisites to attract new target groups to hallmark BMW driving pleasure. BMW already offers a unique range of compact models for various different requirements and target groups that is unmatched within the competitive environment. The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will once again create fresh impulses in this class. It builds on the latest BMW front-wheel drive architecture and shares a multitude of technological developments with the new BMW 1 Series, which will also be presented during the course of 2019.

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been conceived as a global offering that constitutes an attractive enrichment, especially for markets in which car buyers show a strong affinity for notchbacks. As an exclusive alternative to the classic saloon, the four-door coupe addresses all target groups that prefer a sophisticated design and a self-assured look in the compact segment as well.

I presume this will launch before the new 1Series and thereby debut the design, right? Surely it won't be a variant of the existing generation that has a dated interior?

 

[dalab]

It leaves me very confused, a photo that clearly shows the design keys, so many months before presenting the car, when I saw the photo I assumed that we were a few days after launching full official photos and then read November?
There is a drastic change in this mather and confuses me a lot

Most likely, we will see some months before LAAS. Possibly around August/September.

The 1 Series, on the other hand, should have its online premiere in around 2-3 months from now (May/June), with the world premiere taking place a IAA.

Sitting on the latest FWD platform that is shared with the forthcoming 1 Series, it is a pretty good guess that it will introduce a new interior design (a la 3 Series) and it will share it with the 1 Series, apart from a new exterior styling. BMW is certainly not taking any risks with this car and wants to fully maximise on this opportunity, given the success of the CLA.

At least from what is visible from the teaser photo, the rear-end lights have a sort of 8 Series aura in their inner graphics.

Equally is strange to me to reveal all of this so much time before, if I'm not mistaken it's the first time it happens in this way
