For BMW to compete with that they'd have to price it at ~$25k, ~$30k the most. With the 128i starting at $31k and 328i starting at $35k, I just don't see BMW going farther down than that price range even if they do come out with a FWD Z2. I think BMW needs to stay within a certain price range and not go too far down, at least not here in the US. They are still considered a world class luxury car, selling one to compete with a $25k Mazda/Toyobaru at a similar price might have negative impact on their brand stature and I'm sure BMW knows that. Would I like it if BMW did it anyways? Of course, I'd love it, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
