Isn't the next 2 Series Coupe also going to be made NA side? So the cheapest models will almost all be made in NA.

Yes, the next 2er/M2 Coupe will also be produced in Mexico, which further reduces the number of models that would have been available for ED. That's why I've been thinking this might be permanent. Assuming all US 3er production moves to Mexico permanently rather than being split between there and Germany as it has been, that will leave just the X1/X2, 2GC, i3, M3, 4er/M4, 5er/M5, 7er, 8er/M8 and Z4 on the list of US models produced in Europe.
