I think it looks pretty good except from the side profile shot. The F32 kind of stretches the hood slope to the max and the gran coupe takes it a little too far. It's still sexy as hell though.

This is like lowering the educational standards so that more people graduate when they shouldn't..for the sake of numbers looking good on a spread sheet. It's the gradual, downward spiral of civilization. End rant.

The 4GC is fairly different from the 3er from every angle, only the front lights have a similar look

At any rate, yes, certainly there will be some aesthetic differences between the 3GT and the new 4GC. It still leaves the lineup without a four door coupe and with two hatchbacks where it seems one could suffice. |

I think it's going to look pretty good. But I'd pay $100k for a 6GC waaaaaay before I paid $70k for this thing. The 6GC is just gorgeous, especially in the flesh.

I think BMW is trying to take a page from VW Group, in offering MANY types of cars on the same platform. Just look at all the Golf derivatives(Audi TT, Seat Leon, Golf & Golf Plus, etc).

They didn't bring the M135i to the states because of hardly any demand for a hatchback and now those of us who were wanting a smaller, cheaper version of the 6GC have to settle for some low rent hatchback? |

3/5/7, z4, x5, M3, M5
remember when this was the line up and all the vehicles had good quality and amazing driving characteristics? oh yea and they didn't drive like a Hyundai and feel cheaper then a Chevy?! 1/2/2GC/3/3GT/4/4GC/5/5GT/6/6GC/7/x1/x3/x5/x6/z4/i3/i8/M3/M4/M5/M6/M6GC/Mx5/Mx6 I'm sure I am missing about 15 other models, I think they have gone and lost my enthusiasm to keep buying new models. |

Don't care what CAR thinks, every BMW forum is claiming the GC will have something "hatch-like". Quote:
It rides on the 3 Series GT wheelbase of 180 mm. Roughly about 7 inches more wheelbase than the F30. |

The 3 GT is bigger and much more spacious than the A5 Sportback, which you may only notice after giving them a closer look. The 4GC will be its competitor with a more 'coupe-esque' design and compromise on space that comes with it. The priority here is form, over function. I also don't really see the point of the hatchback discussion. Outside of the US, and specifically in Europe, 'hatchback' doesn't have a negative connotation. |

German 'Auto Motor und Sport' writes that the 4 GC will have the regular (short) wheelbase from the sedan. This is in contrast to what was rumored before, but makes more sense IMO.
