X2 Rumormill: BMW X2

I think they will retain the shape they are now - only reason the X2 is a GLA type shape is due to its small wheelbase

Yes that is correct. The longer the wheelbase, the more freedom to offer a more sportier roofline.
If you look at the current X4 there are compromises but with the next generation which you will see shortly. The wheelbase is slightly longer meaning a more flowing and less condensed roofline than the F26.
X2 to offer a similar coupe profile would actually resemble an egg but severely impact passenger headroom.
This is the best option for a smaller wheelbase as seen on the X2 as you can go sportier without compromising packaging.
However an X8 is being investigated and could forgo the Coupe profile for a profile that resembles the X2.

Thanks to both!

It could have been perfect with a more longer front hood

I find the short hood more appropriate for a small SUV

It seems the serial car will get a taillight similar to the Concept.

The X2 is going to be an excellent compact crossover. Very sporty and dynamic especially if you opt for the M35i which will also be introduced on the X1 also.

I can't think of many manufacturers who have such a lot of SUV's.X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,X6 and upcoming X7..... And because if the 8 series a probable X8.

Would have been nice if they could aleast make one of these at least off road capable like a Range Rover or G wagon.

Mercedes will have as many, if not more with the various different G-wagons, and the GLB is still on its way...

I'd quite like to see this... X-Raid Dakar team is run by Sven Quandt - a son of Herbert Quandt. I'd like to see family ties result in a bonkers ****-crazy off-road version of something like the X3 or X4.

True, it's a whole lot: GLA, GLB, GLC, GLC coupe, GLE, GLE coupe, GLS and G Wagon in various shapes...

Definitely, I'd prefer an X3 type vehicle, with signature trademarks from the old days, like modernised twin E30 circular lights, classical kidneys etc....

Classic old days... hmmm...

Hows about the 1938 325?
