not nearly as much of a statement maker as other 4 door coupes. This looks no different from a 3 series.

If they raise the ride height and put on some larger wheels, they can market it as a 4 gran turismo

I need to see more pictures but right now it looks like it could be called a 3 series GT Gran Coupe. So many (almost to many) different body styles for pretty much one vehicle line.

they damn near look the same!

Found images here..I mean I love the fact its a hatch and it seems sleeker than the 3GT. So it seems everyone is confused they have 2 hatchbacks but one is a 3GT and the other the 4GC …

Seeing so many variants of the 3-Series really makes me want a 3IS Sportcross..

Yeah, I'd really like to see a Sportcross make some sort of come back! I know not many people were fond of it but I certainly liked it.

Whatever the car is in the first pic TangoRed posted, doesn't look all that bad...

That's the 3GT. And while it's certainly not the prettiest car in BMW's history, I agree it's pretty decent.

I think it looks good - much better than the 2 door coupe which looks a bit awkward imo, esp without Msport.

Hard to tell from pics but if u put the 3Series sedan and the 4GC side by side - u will see a big difference. 4GC is wider and lower.
Plus this gives ppl a way to separate themselves from the ton of base hideous 3series on each corner.

Might be my next car......
