I read somewhere that BMW will combine the 2 Series AT and GT into one vehicle for the next generation (codenamed U08, allegedly). If true, that should alleviate any potential overlap because the new combined offering would inherit the GT's longer wheelbase, making it a much more capacious offering than the 1 Series 5-door.
Yes I guess the next 2 AT has to become more of a mini MPV than a mere hatchback to differentiate it from the 1 series. I am looking forward to seeing the new 1er which I guess won't be revealed until well into next year!?
