Continuing our current run of BMW stories is the latest rumour suggesting the next-gen 1 Series Coupé and Convertible (F22 and F23) will be re-badged as a 2 Series.
It makes sense in some respects, especially with a front-wheel drive 1 Series on the way. The introduction of a 2 Series will allow BMW to position those models slightly higher than the 1 Series and, of course, set prices accordingly.
So, will we see the coupé and convertible badged as the Z2, or will BMW stick with current nomenclature and run with 235i and so on?
