Target audience is people who want a compact; true 2-seater sports car. This answer also addresses your second question.
Funny- for how often people complain about cars getting larger, I hear near-zero praise for this car's compact size.  |
I actually prefer the 2 seater compared to the 2+2. Those small rear seats always end up being useless anyways. And yes the fact that is small is definitely a plus.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the 2 & 3 series currently use the B58 engine? Aren't those cars offered in a manual? I don't see how much R&D would be needed to fit a manual trans that already exists into this car. I'm assuming very little.
