Not at all likely. The next generation M2 coupe, convertible, gran coupe, and any other form factor BMW thinks they can sell will be AWD (unless hell freezes over).



Well, sure if you want to debate semantics, but I personally don't have time for that so I'll call it AWD.

Furthermore Haldex is only one way to do AWD. An EVO, for example, does not use a Haldex system.
Agree with you that an AWD system in a 2 series coupe would work.
I still remain buoyed that there are many years of 2 series production left and It's not that hard to bring out some additional variants ala the 3 series GT... and 4 series gran coupe.. which are based off the 3/4 platform.
