Next BMW X2 spy photos show an X4-style sloping roof

With its sloping not-a-coupe-but-not-a-crossover roofline, the heavily camouflaged vehicle you see here may look like a BMW X4, but it's actually the next iteration of the smaller, hatchback-style X2. Don't worry, we had to squint a bit, too. Closer inspection of the profile suggests a front-wheel-drive architecture, and a peek at the rear seems to confirm that. We've heard rumors that the X4 as we know it is on its way out, which we suppose could leave a little bit of room on BMW's crowded showroom floors for a redesigned X2 to fill the missing gap left by the loss of the rakish X4, however small that gap may be between the staid X1 and more BMW-traditional X3.
