I would tend to agree with you that we'll eventually get a FWD entry level sedan. However, we already have pretty firm evidence that the next generation 2 Series coupe and convertible will remain RWD. As long as they keep building those cars on a RWD platform, there is the possibility they will add a RWD 2 Series Gran Coupe to the lineup based on that platform as well.

It's actually in the A3's segment rather than in the non-luxury segment with the Jetta and others.
The hatchbacks (both two and four door) are moving to the FWD UKL platform for their next generation. Assuming BMW adheres to their standard seven year cycle, we should see these debut next year.
