But if you're sticking a standard 6 in this GC, and you need 4 doors, why would you pay as much as a 535iX?
You can bet the GC premium will be very similar to the $6500 hybrid premium over a standard 335i.

You'd pay as much ($65k) for a 4GC as a 535ix because they are going to drive and look very different. 535ix might be best suited to 55yo male in Pittsburgh, 4GC might be best suited to a well healed 35yo male in Miami.

BTW, I did pay for performance with the AH3. About 340HP/340lb ft, in fact.
Ooooooo come on now.
I have a F10 535i and I'm only 25 years old.
