Well there is a lot coming in general, not just entry car level. Surely some of the 1er ideas will become Minis instead of BMWs.

What's these ? Did scott mention them ? And Tine when Scott talks about M1, did he mean a motorsport version of 2 series or 1 series ?

He once mentioned RR coupe - based on a small RR limo.
X4 was an idea a time ago (some magazines reported about it), but they opted for X6 - a bigger & pricey SAC. But it's not impossible to revive X4 again, especially if X6 proves to be a hit. Remember X5 success, followed by an introduction of smaller X3.

Scott said there will certainly be M versions of coupe and cabrio, but it's still not decided how those cars will be badged - 1-series or 2-series. Thus not knowing yet about M1 or M2 label.

Keep in mind these are ideas... they probably won't all go into production.

1e/2er will 100% be offered in:

3-door hatch
5-door hatch
2-door coupe
2-door cabrio

2-door Touring Coupe (aka Shooting Brake) is still not 100% decided, while sedan, Touring, roadster have been axed.

The other models I listed are 100% going into production, while the ones "in consideration" have a 50:50 chances.

Note to Tine:

This is what Scott mentions, and hardly official or 100% confirmed.

Not only does this not make sense cost wise for the company, but also America is extremely power hungry when it comes to hp.
