I have another suggestion. You said it will be a more luxurious 3 series, and perhaps you are assuming that because it is a 4-series BMW can naturally charge more, and can therefore add luxury features into the development.

I don't think they 4-series will be at all different than the current 3-coupe, just carrying a higher perceived value by people who understand 3 > 4 logic. Yes, the current 3 coupe is more expensive than the 3 sedan so how is this different? The 4 badge adds another level of "status" that BMW can profit from - that is all.
