These pics are old... and there will be no 4-Series as the 3 name carries too much value to be diverted. The 3-Coupe will stay with the 3 name.
That's the way the new 3 should've looked like though. The new theme is much better executed all-around, especially in the rear.

I was about to say... I think the entire point of the 4 series was to make a coupe based off the sedan much like how the 6 is off the 5.
I don't think BMW will change the coupe to the 4 series. I think they're keeping a 3 coupe and adding the 4 to the lineup. The 4 here seems a little bit longer, maybe more powerful?

Are these actual pictures or photoshops? I actually don't mind the new 3 series sedan at all, but would choose the IS350 over it in a second. However, I'm a coupe fan at heart and I aways had a feeling the coupe version would look really nice. I would say from these pictures it would be a tough choice for me between the IS350 and the new 3 series coupe. No doub though the interior of the IS is probably better since the BMW coupe probably would be the same as the sedan. Still though, I like the new 3 coupe. With the bump in HP, availability of a 6-Speed manual and real SMG trans, it makes for a serious package. Man, I can just imagine what the M3 will look like
