You can bet the 4 series GC will probably command at least $5k on top of the F30 and that's going to be heavily based on the design of the car and not the content inside. The base prices of what BMW pays is going to be nearly the same. More margin = more profit = winning.

I'm holding out for the 2-door sedan.

Pretty much every test mule with camouflage is not superhot, it's not supposed to be. Let's whine when the damn thing is official people, if it's that bad. But seeing every BMW lately, expect for F25, i'd say this 4 GC is going to look excellent!

I don't understand the segment, what is a grande coupe? it's a sedan if you ask me. Just like the 5GT is a hatchback. Whoever BMW got for marketing is determined to make BMW like Audi.

Huh. I was really excited about this car based on what the 6-series Gran Coupe looked like. But the more that is revealed of it, the bulkier it looks. It doesn't have that sleek and refined character that the 6-series GC has at all. It looks more like a 4-series GT than a Gran Coupe.

They may take some sales from the 3 and 5, but it is better than losing sales to the CLA, CLS, A5 Sportback (outside US), A7, etc.

I'm still not getting how this isn't a 3 series....? If the 3ers have 4 doors and the 4ers have two and a topless option, what's the point of making this a 4er other than having a 3rd option in the model line...?
I get the 6er GC, it's a 6 series variant and it looks nothing like a 5er, they didn't try to split the 6 series lineup and spin the GC into it...

Call me crazy but doesnt it look more like a 4 GT than a GC? That rear roof slop and trunk are just awkward looking.

doesn't look as good as i orginally thought...that stubby rear end would need some nice detailing on top of it...not the plain squared off look these cars all have now.

I'm hoping that the 4 GC will look better when fully revealed, but the 6 GC is just on another level. The 4 GC roof line needs to be slightly lower to pull off the sleek looks of the 6 GC.

Meh. Doesn't look as different from the 3-series as the 6 GC does from the 5.

I think BMW would even argue it adds sales to the brand by displacing people who would have otherwise bought an A5 Sportback, A7, CLA, or CLS. |
