Hoping to drive home in a front-driven BMW 2 Series? You'll have to settle for the RWD coupe, as the automaker has no plans to sell the former in the U.S.
Automotive News reports the 2 Series Gran Tourer and Active Tourer — both based upon the UKL1 platform also underpinning the third-gen MINI Cooper — won't be leaving Germany for the U.S. market due to their small size.
Per a representative, the Gran Tourer's 179-inch length and the Active Tourer's 171 inches are too small for a three-row minivan meant for the market. Thus, the smallest USDM BMW will be the 175.5-inch X1 crossover, which will become FWD via the UKL1 platform when the next-gen model goes on sale later this year.
