The Platform for the Gran Coupe arrives from the China-only market 3er Li in a shortened version which is also found underneath the Gran Turismo 3er. This will benefit the interior and the length will provide adequate seating for four adults. In height the 6er Gran Coupe is lower than the new 3er (F30) current Coupe (E92) , 5er and 7er. The 4er Gran Coupe will be a few inches shorter than the 6er Gran Coupe.
Scott,

Please help me get this straight. At maturity, what will be the complete 3/4-Series offering? Please correct if necessary.

3-Series...
1) Coupe, 2-door (F32)
2) Sedan, 4-door (F30) (with Li option in Asia)
3) Convertible, 2-door (F33)
4) Wagon, 5-door (F31)
5) Grand Turismo, 5-door hatchback (in the spirit of the controversial 5-Series GT)

4-Series...
1) 2-door Coupe
2) 4-door Gran Coupe
3) 2-door Cabrio, hardtop convertible.
