BMW needs such a vehicle like the F52 to compete in the compact sedan market.
Its a very appealing car and such a viable and accessible entry to a BMW.
Any word on time frame? Releasing next year as 2017 model??

If it's like the 3-series, I fear we'll see only the FWD/base engine config available with manual transmission. Bigger engine/AWD -- Steptronic only??
