![]() Featured on BIMMERPOST.com The stylish four door is effectively a four door variant of the Coupe but with a slightly extended wheelbase and elongated roof structure which increases the height from the standard Coupe in order to accommodate reasonable headroom. Here you can see exactly what is hiding behind the camouflaged rear panels that cover the aperture of the rear door. And in true classic BMW four door sense the hofmeister kink is part of the door. Taking its cue from the BMW 6er Gran Coupe. The 4er Gran Coupe aims to bring dynamic styling , Sports-proficient handling, performance and high standard of luxury and individuality to the entry segment. The 6er and the 4er Gran Coupe models could possibly be joined by a 2er Gran Coupe currently undergoing marketing assessment and evaluation. Extending the look of the forthcoming 2er Coupe, again with a more sleeker rounded roofline and short ovehangs at the front and rear. Prototype:

Wow, I really like that. My brain couldn't really make a good visual, from the mules we've seen. Now I really that.
Starting to wonder just how sweet an M4 Gran Coupe would look! |

ummm...2 questions. 1. Why did they even bother with making the sedan? 2. Why do the recent coupe renderings look so terrible? If these are accurate reflections then BMW deserves another, "Figure it out, BMW!"

The render actually upon further reflection just a stretched stock image of the 2012 328i Luxury.

Not bad.. Glad I ordered my 335i sedan now though before these start rolling out. I am not a fan of the 4-door coupe era.
They look elegant and stylish for sure, it's just too crossover-ish for me. The roofline looks really silly. If I needed the space I'd probably get an X3 or another brand's mid-range SUV.

That is going to be a sexy beast. The F86 M4GC is going to be even sexier.
Scott, just nudge the bean counters to approve the 2GC already. I can't wait for both of these.

Coupe doesnt always equal 2 door. Just lower rear roof line.
Look at the VW CC. Four door coupe that has been around. Still will get an F30 since I have kids. |

It's purely for style then? The 4 doors that is. I think I'm missing something ![]() The panamara, for example, makes sense with regards to its design. It's a wagon; like the F31. But the unrealistically proportioned 4-door "coupes" - I just don't get it.
