Scott said BMW are considering to produce following variants of 1er platform: 3-door hatch, 3-door shooting-brake, 2-door coupe, 2-door soft top cabrio, Z2 roadster.

I guess they are analyzing which variant has best chances in the worldwide markets and will be most profitable.

There is surely no space for a cabrio AND a roadster based on 1er platform. Nor 3-door hatch, SB AND coupe.

BMW will have to choose one open roof vehicle, and one solid closed roof one for production.
