It all comes down to looks and impressions these days.
In reality running on same tires and equipped with same packages GC will be a bit slower in acceleration.
That brings us to having a sedan faster than the more expensive coupe. I know that 0-60 times are not everything, but this is just ain't right.
The 4GC is faster than the 3er?
428i: 5.7s (0.2s faster)
435i: 4.9s (0.5s faster)
Don't forget that the 4GC also has a wider track and lower CoG than the 3er.

What functional advantages does the F30 have over the F36?
Not sure I understand. Do they have different engines with different output in the GC?
If not, then more weight equals slower car. Physics.
