Default Five-door compact?

According to the Wikipedia page on the BMW Compact:

Quote:
"During 1993/4, BMW built several prototype 5-door compacts, which looked outwardly even more similar to the saloon right back to the C-pillar. However, following the initially disappointing sales response to the Compact (in comparison to the Saloon & Coupe models) BMW decided not to offer a 5-door variant. The prototypes were stripped and the bodyshells disposed of."
Do any pics of these mythical beasts exist online anywhere? Would love to see one. For that matter I think there is room in the BMW lineup for the 3-series compact to exist alongside the 1er. How can we petition BMW to bring back the ti??
