I don't think the visual comparisons are accurate at all, as the dimensions vary substantially from coupe to sedan to GC.
I USED to think the 4 GC was GORGEOUS until I saw it in person; it has a very short, mildly "frumpy" look to it in the flesh... The 4 GC looks beautiful in pictures, as it photographs VERY well. In person, the coupe and sedan look much more sleek and accomplished from an overall design perspective...aka: much more pleasing to the eye than the 4 GC My $.02...reserve judgement until you see it in person!!! |

I drove the 4 series GC today and all I can say it was amaaaaaazing . I bought the 328i M-Sport in 2012 and I love my car except the trunk, thats the worst part on my car. The trunk in GC is much better because it opens in a better way then the sedan version so you can put in larger stuff.
I also noticed that the exhaust sound had a much more sportier sound and I heard the turbo much more often, I dont know if they have changed the turbo or the exhaustsystem but the exhaust sound was much better in GC. The performance was the same as the sedan version and the car is realy beautiful in person . I recommend you guys to try it out, its a very good car .

+1 Although I saw a white msport LCI GT that looked good. the interior is a real downer. just look at the new C class. blows this one away. outside looks ok (i think the 3er actually looks better) but the audi A5 for me still looks better and you know the new one coming will have a much better interior too. That for me coupled with the most likely boring and dull steering feel and now "classic" neutered bmw dynamics of these days (current 5ser, new X models, Z4 etc) makes this car a no no for me. And I was considering this one for my daily driver.

I prefer the f30 in terms of styling, pricing and functionality.

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? |

More headroom, ability to seat 5 occupants, the centre seat in the GC is useless unless you like to ride a bicycle. i've never had trouble loading things in the sedan trunk. Trunk space of the F30 is even better than my E39, it swallows my golf bags with easy as it's a wide trunk which the E39 just couldn't do. The specs of the GC in terms of accelleration is actually 0.1 sec slower than the equivalent F30. A non issue really. If only it had the frameless doors with F30 rear dood shape connecting to the Hoffmeister kink, F30 esque boot and the F32 front end, it would have been absolutely great :-)
That said, I'd consider the car just to get something different after the F30, just a bit of a pity the rear end has a hunchback instead of the really low cut COUPE roofline. |

I'm confused too. it seems like the 4gc should be the slowest of the 3 cars, but according to the specs from BMW, 435gc 0-60 is 4.9, faster than both the 335 and 435 coupe.

For those not understanding the need for a 4-door coupe and too many BMW variant models, etc., it seems Mercedes would also disagree. Seems they're planning a 4-door coupe variant of the C Class.

I almost bought a 3GT a year ago for its practicality but was skeptical about its looks. How many 3GTs have you seen on the road? Personally I have only seen it twice in LA since it came out last year. I bet most people who ever thought about buying a 3GT and didn't end up buying one sure will seriously consider a 4GC. Just wait and see, there will be many 4GCs on the road within a few months.

Why they had to break from convention and give this thing a hatch (which adds weight and ruins its otherwise gorgeous lines) is beyond me.

How dare BMW upset a few people on internet forums and expand their range to satisfy people actually shopping for that type of car!!!
