    Rumorpile: BMW Considers A 2-Series Gran Coupe

      Who wants another BMW Gran Coupe?!

    Do you like the 2-Series coupe, but wished it came in a sedan? Well according to Autocar, BMW is planning to build one.

     

    Why? The next-generation BMW 3-Series is expected to grow size and the German automaker believes there is space for another sedan (or should we say a four-door coupe). At the moment, BMW is debating whether the 2-Series Gran Coupe should follow in the footsteps of the 4 and 6-Series Gran Coupe (sedan-ish) or go with five-door liftback. Whatever design is chosen, expect the 2-Series Gran Coupe to be slightly longer than the coupe.

     

    The engine lineup for the Gran Coupe is expected to be same as the coupe and convertible - a range of three and four-cylinder engines running on diesel or gas. There will also be an M2 version complete with the turbocharged 3.0L inline-six with 365 horsepower.

     

    Autocar says the 2-Series Gran Coupe will debut in 2019.

    WOW, BMW has Learned NOTHING from the Stupid 70's, 80's and 90's of GM, FORD and Chrsyler. 

     

    Self destructing by thinking they have to grow each model in size. WRONG!!!!!!!!

     

    Nothing wrong with keeping the 3 series the same size it was, after all they already have the 4, 5,6,7,& 8 series. So what the current 8 will grow and become the 9 series and eventually the 10?

     

    Where did this stupidity that they have to grow a specific model name from subcompact to compact to mid size to large to Extra Large BS come from?

     

    What STUPID Executives they have.

     

    This seems to be an even bigger Monkey See, Monkey Do failure of the german auto companies.

     

    Kinda along the same stupid ideas of exchanging VW for Skoda. So they going to pay all their VW dealers to remodel to be SKODA dealers and just use a different badge on the auto?

     

    The utter ignorance of stupid germans is amazing.

    Well it's not VW that wants to rebadge itself here, it's some auto researcher that said that it would be a good exit strategy. IT is not VW.

     

    Remember - these decisions are not just for the U.S. market. This might be a Euro-special and China special first.

     

    But again... they are still considering it...however it may appear maddening

     

    Besides, Cadillac did the same thing with the new CTS...they made it bigger, right? Or is that something different, and totally unequal.

    The problem with the other two Gran Coupes is they look like sedans.  At least make it look like a coupe.  

     

    I think they should make a 3-series Gran Sedan, an X3 Gran Crossover, and X5 Gran Crossover, 7-series Grand sedan, maybe even a 6-series Gran Sedan that is s door car, shaped like a sedan.

    They need a Z4 Gran Roadster, that could be like a 4 door roadster with a back seat.    And for sure they need a i3 Gran Electric Crossover Coupe M Performance.

     

    I sort of wish Mercedes would phase out the CLS and call the 4-door coupe fad over, every other auto maker would drop this nonsense within 2 years.  All of them want to look like a CLS, but none do, even the current CLS doesn't have the looks of the original.

    Hey!

     

    ILL TAKE IT!!!!  WITH OPEN ARMS EVEN!!!

     

    ANYTHING other than just another CUV on the agenda!

     

    And in "M" flavour no less!!!

    And let me remind you folk that the 2 Series and the M2 are probably modern BMW's purest form of what made BMW what they are known for...pure driving enjoyment with the whole Ultimate Driving Machine cliches. Hopefully they dont contaminate the DNA with this one...

    BMW no longer has a clue what it wants to be, with the slight exception it wants to be; 'In a perfect world, there'd be a Mercedes BMW in every driveway'.

    Oh, and the obvious : mercedes. 

     

    Hey, I see what I did there. ;)

    With the X4 and X6, I'm sure a coupe CUV X2 off the X1 is in the works...

      First, the rental companies should be telling you the recommended app if needed. Second, especially for europe, google maps has tied in with the charging companies to tell you where and what the statis is on charging, much the same that Google, EA, Chargepoing and EVgo has done here. The other thing you can inquire about is that much like the toll roads on the east coast where you can pay a fee to use one that is added to the auto rental so you just drive through the good to go lanes, from what I am seeing online, there are at some places the same kind of thing. Prepay for charging. But inquire of the rental company in the location you are at. Lots of good online info for when you visit a country. Routes for electric car travel in Spain | sustainability.spain.info Use an app like this to find charging stations in another country. Place to Plug | Charging points map in Spain Using Spain as an example since I was there most recently in Madrid for work and renting an EV and charging was not a problem.   This makes allot of sense. Concern Trump may try to flee the US in 2028 | Opinion OUCH, Tariff Turd47 is an idiot in not understanding the the Global world we live in and not understanding technology. Stuck in the past.

      As you know, when you go to rent cars, they are giving the electric ones to customers at a lower price. This brings me to some rentals in the prospective year that are offering the same kind of price structure.  The electric ones are much more nicely priced. If going to a place like Italy, Spain and Portugal, how would I get a comprehensive list of charging stations ... basically a locator? How would I ensure that they are the baseline station ... meaning one that the more basic econobox brands can charge up at?  Lastly, I don't have debit cards or those linked banking payment systems they have over there.  How do I find out if I need an app or if I can just pay with a credit card at at the site? Reddit is really messy and about three quarters of it is mud flinging garbage, but one person said not to get an electric car when in a less developed area while on vacation so that you don't encounter that stressor.  What do you think about that? If I could get some brief direction on this, I'd appreciate it.
