Don't mind the price differential. Still mind the fact that it is a 4 series.

I suppose I'll get over it eventually.

So we are expecting late summer delivery next year? When is the earliest (traditionally) that you can start placing custom build orders?

US prices translate at less than the $US to Euro exchange rate because in the US the prices do not include VAT or sales tax.

2000 euro/usd is not true if they cut many accessories like memory seat. In the f30 they do. The price comparision must be made with same accessories.

i'm going to guess that the price speculation is just that.

When its a 4 or 5000 dollar difference don't be shocked. BMW will charge what it feels it can get, and i'm fairly certain a lot of people will be willing to pay.

If anything they should lower the price on the F30, but we all know prices dont tend to go down.

My only market in 2014 will be the 4GC or the regular F30.
All I'm gonna guess is that 4GC will be starting at US$50,000 base

I'd expect the price increase bring significant number of options for free (well they are not free but included). Otherwise we'd be paying more for the badge.

you'd be paying for less doors not the badge.

and people will pay it. i mean the 6 does cost more than the 5 even similarly equipped. the A5 is more than the A4, the CLK was always more than the C class. even the C coupe is more than the C sedan. its fairly accepted that people pay more fo rluxury coupes for some reason or another

F33 will probably be a few months after the regular coupe. Remember it will be winter in the US/Europe when the coupe really starts becoming available, so cab will have to wait until Spring 2014.

Jason,

what about the m-sport option on the 4 series, will it be available once the production starts?

Thanks

Coincidentally, it seems that Germany is going BIGGER & North America is downsizing their cars.
F30 sedan - 182.5 inches long
2002 Continental - 208.5 inches long
Difference - 26 inches (2' 2")

And for grins, 1979 Continental - 233.0 inches (4' 2.5" longer)

I would not be shocked to see a $2500 difference, BMW wants to steal customers from Audi and Mercedes (and others) so putting the premium too high wouldn't be a great strategy, plus thats basically $2500 extra profit compared to the F30, you can't tell me the F32 costs any more to make!

What I think will distinguish the F32 from the F30 and bring the price skyrocketing is the extra luxury options it will have that the "3 series" won't, like maybe nappa leather, LED lights, night vision... LED lights and Nappa/novillo leather could add $3K alone. You can get a F30 xdrive for around $62K right now if you tick every box, I bet the F32 will be close to $70K if you tick every box, of course it would have more features.

I just hope the GC isn't priced too high above the coupe or F30. I think there are plenty of people willing to pay for a 6 GC and pay the premium but people who buy 3 & 5 series (and now 4 series) care about value a lot more, I don't see anyone willing to spend $6K more for a 4 GC over a 3 sedan with the same options.
