We have the first look at the next generation "G42" 2 Series Coupe, spotted in Mexico!
First things first, yes -- the G42 2 Series Coupe will be
RWD.
The first sighting (below) in Mexico is appropriate given that its production will take place primarily or entirely at the BMW San Luis Potosi plant in Mexico (
evidence).
G42 production will begin August 2021 and last until March 2029. The current (F22) 2 Series coupe ends production in June 2021. According to our
future models info, potential models for G42 could include 220i, 220d, 220d xDrive, 230i, 230i xDrive, M240i, and M240i xDrive (or potentially M245i as our info indicates).
There will be a next generation M2 Coupe based on the G42. The current (F87) M2 coupe ends production in June 2021.
