The silver lining is that the 3 Series GT is looking sleeker/sportier than ever.


woops, haha oh well. But the 3 series GT looks very, very sporty now. Fooled us for a 4 series Gran Coupe!

Now knowing this your point previously about the M3 staying a sedan and the M4 being a coupe rings more true.

Hopefully, if I had my way, the 4 series Gran Coupe will not have an M version and the M3/M4 will be the only variations. However this seems unlikely based on the path M has taken lately. Looking at the two spy videos of the M3 and M4, the M3 looks to have side air vents on the front bumper like the 1 series M coupe, while the M4 lacks them.

Only prototypes and only speculations but
