I think I might end up in the minority...I find this gran coupe pointless. At least from the pics.

Were the 6 gran couple is sleek and carries slimmer lines than the 5, this just looks like another sedan...so why the 3 series

Im sure it will sell like hotcakes....but I personally feel like bimmer is watering down their entire line up like crazy.

^^Compare the pic of this and the 3 series (sedan) and you will see they are quite different "sedans".

How is making a better looking 3series sedan watering the brand down?

BMW just created their own segment with this 4 door coupe.

Just my opinion...too many cars in the line ups stepping on each other toes.

I still want a 3 GT

M3, obviously.

Who the hell passes up on M3 for something else?

I might be a minority here. I don't find the 4-series GC attractive at all. IMO, the 4-series is best to leave in the coupe form. If I want a 4-door, I'd rather get the 3-series. I think the F30 M-sport is much more attractive.

4GC is a 5 door FYI. So it is technically different than F30.

Technically different but it's the same shit.

I, too, like the F30 M-Sport more than 4GC.

Thank you for liking my car.

4 series look really good in picture. When i saw it on the freeway, it instantly reminded me of Kim Kardashian pregant days (Whale), low, wide and fat.

I like the 4 series coupe. It looks very low and wide.

With Bluetooth, memory seat and Navi with touchpad standard.

I think Base M3/M4 is good enough for me.

Whenever my passenger asked me why i have Navi but not backup sensors/camera, i told them those things will make me stupid

Suffices to say, this new generation 3/4-series grew on me quickly.

I guess the M3/M4 has that effect on people.

Yep I was even shocked to see heated seats are standard now. So unlike BMW!

Too bad comfort access is not standard or a stand alone option. Lame.

Hardtop for me. No convertible, please. But, I can see the appeal of this...probably will sell decently.

Go for the M3. Coming from an E90 M3, you will likely be bored of a 435iGC in a few months and regret not getting the F80 M3.

Right here.

"@ Mention" feature is good. 86 Forum has it. It's pretty useful.
