<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> could bring yet another niche-busting product to the market in 2017 if a report form a forum is to be believed. According to the <a href="http://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=960632"> BMW X1 Forum of <em>Bimmerpost</em></a>, 2017 could see the debut of the BMW X2. Yes, X2.<br />
<br />
Allegedly, this car will ride on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ukl/">UKL platform</a>, which is slated to underpin both the next-generation <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mini/countryman/">Mini Countryman</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x1/">BMW X1</a>. The X2, though, will play the role occupied by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x6/">X6</a> relative to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x5/">X5</a> - that means it'll be the same basic vehicle with a more sporting (i.e. less practical) roofline. The denizens of the forum claim the X2 will only be offered with xDrive all-wheel drive, and unlike the X6 and soon-to-arrive X4, it will be available in both three and five-door variants.<br />
<br />
We reached out to BMW for comment, and got the typical "There's no plans as of right now" statement, although spokesman Dave Buchko did add that, "It's fun to speculate."<br />
<br />
Honestly, we don't even know what to make of all this. An X2 totally sounds like something BMW would do - let's keep in mind we already have a sedan version of a coupe version of a sedan in the form of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/01/2015-bmw-4-series-gran-coupe-official-photos/">4 Series</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/6+series+gran+coupe/">6 Series Gran Coupes</a>. With BMW already set to offer a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/05/bmw-2-series-active-tourer-geneva-2014/">2 Series Active Tourer</a> and considering the small numbers that the X6 sells in, we're left questioning the need for the X2.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/20/bmw-x2-in-the-works/">BMW X2 in the works?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 20 Mar 2014 15:44:00 EST.
