The problem is, BMW already has a 2 series Gran Coupe that’s FWD. so if they made a M2 Gran Coupe, it would be a AWD but based on the same platform.
That’s the problem with BMW splitting the sedan and coupe with the same name into two different platforms, one being FWD based UKL2 chassis and the other being the CLAR RWD/AWD platform. So an M2 Gran Coupe (sedan) would be effectively different than an M2 Coupe
