Agreed. I was just beginning to like the idea of launching the 4 series platform, but having the Grand Coupe introduces complexity that as an enthusiast, I find confusing (don't see a clear need). I can only imagine what it will be like for a new buyer with less familiarity with the BMW offering. How would a dealer describe the difference between a 3 series and a 4 series gran coupe? In my mind, A 4 series GC a 4-door car that has a sporty look. I thought that was the purpose of a 3 series to begin with.

I guess we'll wait to see how they position it. Right now I see the purpose for a 6GC, but not the 4GC.
