With all of the heritage and history the 3 Series has, it seems surprising and odd that BMW would change to a 4 Series... a car styled/modeled after the 2002, or a "2002" nameplate, would do the car's history more justice than changing to the "4 Series." I get that they want to do something "different," but 3 Series purists are probably up in arms over the name change...

it makes sense though... there are no purists left.

Side view looks very nice.
Front and rear could be better.

I don't understand them abandoning the 3 series moniker, I mean there is so much heritage, passion, and consumer identification in that number. But whatever, its only a number, its not like somebody is changing the name on a Ford Mustang or a Honda Civic.

As for the car, man its stunning on the outside. The inside is just a concept thank goodness, if I had to come up with a name for the concept, it wouldn't be "4 series coupe". I'd have that plate reading "335i King Ranch".
