This week, the BMW 2-Series mysterious-based test mule was spotted in Germany. Clear vehicle ass of some sort and not 2-Series usual because the shorter wheelbase, lowering the roof and possibly an extended front overhang. The test mule also comes with a carbon fiber roof and hood, likely to further lower the center of gravity.
But why BMW engineers will test mule significantly smaller and lower than the already compact 2-Series? Maybe something to do with the often rumored Z2 roadster, the first vehicle we heard about as far as 2006.
The new Z2 is expected to rise in the UKL platform front-wheel-drive BMW, and not the platform rear-wheel-drive of 2-Series. Auto Motor und Sport shows, the back of a donkey short this means elimination of the rear differential on a regular 2-Series, which means the possibility of a vehicle front-driver.
in September, we reported that BMW is planning a total of seven models of front-wheel-drive, including Z2.

Electricity may be coming from the 228-horsepower version of BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine made its debut in 2015 John Cooper Works Hardtop, which also share a platform UKL.
replacement for the BMW Z4 is expected to develop into a player that is much more serious, because the platform is likely to be shared with the new Supra Toyota, we think Z2 light and fun will be a smart addition to the BMW lineup.
about 2016 expected for the new Z2, with sales in the United States tend to follow in early 2017.
