yea you are confused...
Here are the cliff notes:
See:
The 3 series started out as a coupe model with the E21.
Then when the E30 came out, they made the coupe and the sedan identical, the difference would be only the number of doors...
Similarly the E36 and E46 models came out with both coupes and sedans version sharing the same structure and model number (as it was with the E30)
When the next 3 series sedan got revealed, it was identified as the E90.
Then the 3 series coupe started its diversion by getting a different model code: the E92.
As you know the F30 is the latest 3 series sedan model.
From here on, it's just f***$@ up...
The 3 series coupe doesn't exist anymore.
Appears this 4 series, which is a coupe, identified as F32.
So in short the 4 series is the new 3 series coupe.
And later(soon) BMW will make a 4 series Gran Coupe, which is a 4 door version of a 2 door car (F32) of the 4 door (F30) which originally started as a 2 door (E21).
Yea?
The question is: will we ever have a 3 series coupe again ? or will its true successor be the 2 series coupe, which is an evolution of the 1 series coupe ?
Will the real E30 M3 successor please stand up ?!
