I thought I saw a press pic with the M-Performance exhaust?
It's a shame the M-sport is limited to only 6 colors. And no pics of Mineral Blue Metallic? I am very interested to see which Individual options are available. I could see myself springing for the Full Leather interior if it's not more than $1500. |

How is this car "stunning" and the 3GT not? Other than BMW cognoscenti and badge snobs (assuming one would consider a "4" badge superior to a "3"), who will be able even to tell a 3GT and a 4 grand "coupe" apart? And if you want a car that looks like a warmed over Audi, why not just get the Audi? Or go for the blue light special: buy a decade-plus old Mazda 626. It would look basically the same, drive decently (and you could find one with a manual!), and would be 10 times more reliable than any BMW. 3GT / 4GC / '90s Mazda 626: separated at birth lol |

Why are there so many haters? If you don't like it don't buy! They made it because it will sell. Same price as the coupe and looks better than the F30. I would spend $2k more for it as will many others.

This. Looks and drives better than the 3-Series, would happily pay the premium over the 3. The only thing I don't like is BMW is essentially "ruining" the 3-Series which is supposed to be their bread and butter. Will the 3-Series still sell? Absolutely but adding a 4-Series GC takes away from the 3-Series name. Unless the utility of the 4-Series is drastically different from the 3-Series (I don't think it is), I could see a lot of people opting for the 4 GC and while sales of both cars go to the same cause, it's ruining the 3-Series image for BMW.

Making a sedan version of the 6 series has made it way more common that it would have been as a coupe and convertible. Here in Dubai the 6er used to be as rare as a Jaguar XK but now it's as common as a CLS. Go figure. Way to ruin your cars' exclusivity BMW. |

We do not hate the car, we hate the fact that BMW is putting out (what some/many will claim is) a "slightly better 3" than our one or two year old 3 series. If I had known that they were going to make a slightly sportier 4 door sedan under the 'coupe' moniker, that was not far off in price (at least from a well appointed 3 series)... I would likely have made a different buying decision. Which is now making me regret (or at least resent) my purchase. |

My God the comments. So predictable. I wish people would think a little bit before they type. You sound like whiney, spoiled children who have no idea what they're talking about. The 3, 4 and 4GC all look good in different ways and serve different purposes that will appeal to different people.

So what, you're upset the 3 and 4GC didn't come out at the same time? That is how the world works. You buy something very nice but something a little bit nicer might come out later. Get over it. Should Apple not come out with the iPhone 6 since they just came out with the iPhone 5s a year ago? The thing is, not everyone thinks like you and will find the 4GC that much nicer than the 3. Some won't even be able to tell a difference side by side. So if you're going to be upset with BMW for coming out with the 4GC at an inconvenient time for you then you might as well get upset with every corporation in the world.

Why do you think all 911's look a like? Why do you think most premium car manufactures go 5 years or more before making major body changes? It's called brand management because NOBODY wants to spend $60k on a new model line, just to find out that everyone is going to prefer the slightly better model line next year. We expect major refreshes and new models yes. We expect people to think hard if they want/need a 335i over a 328i, and people who buy 4 door sedans are usually not cross shopping 2 door coupes, but the 3 and 4 series sedans are not the same. They are very similar, except one is slightly prettier, slightly sportier, slightly newer, and slightly more expensive. They will be cross shopped and I imagine it's not going to bode well for the well optioned ($$$) 3 series and the well optioned 3 series resale value (e.g., "geesh, you could get a 4 gc for that"). |
