[m630]

regarding the canibalization of the F30 notes, I would guess that BMW will only offer the 4er GC in a top engine models, ie a 435GC and the M4 GC, so there will be no 'cheap' 4er GC to potentially impact F30 sales. If you've read up on how they plan to market the car, it wont be a stripped down model, it will be made as an exclusive model where it may very well be the case that the "base" GC car is nicely optioned at MSRP, similar to what they did with the 6er, so you dont have the option to compare it to say a base 328i. It will be a niche car for sure and will surely cost more than most 5ers - but so was my previous F30 335i at nearly $65K out the door. I think the renderings look OK, but would hope that it is more radical than just the 4er coupe with 4doors once released.
