The coupe and sedan have never been $4k apart like they are now, the difference was half that in the past. Yes obviously the 4-series GC is a 4-door coupe. The reason it exists is because people pay more for the body style despite it having little to no benefit over the sedan. The 4-series line ATP is altogether higher than the sedan.
The 4's hatch is a huge benefit over the 3's trunk. I'd like to know what the 3 Series Touring costs, but we don't have it in the U.S. market to make an equivalent comparison.
How has it moved up market? It’s literally the same exact car, features, powertrain etc
I had a e92 335i coupe with N54 engine and Msport pack back in the day.
The position of the 4series relative to the 3series coupe in prior generations is exactly the same.
I think the key difference is that, in the F3X generation, the base 3-Series was more down market than the base 4-Series. You could get a stripper 320i with a less powerful engine, but no equivalent US 4-Series model was available. So the 4-Series naturally had a higher base price. But at the top end, there was nothing that made a fully-loaded 4-Series more "upmarket" vs the 3-Series.
But now the 320 is dead, I'm not sure what the content difference is between the base sedan vs. GC for the $4K premium.

Is though? Cubic foot wise the capacity is about the same. Last generation, it was the 3-series Gran Turismo hatch that had the major trunk room advantage.

Just checked and you're right, the 4 GC actually has less trunk volume than the 3. That's pathetic lol
Is this the price of a pretty loaded one or are there more options? Based on this sticker price it’s not bad for what you get. Aren’t the Model Y Performance’s price close to this?

This is a relatively lightly optioned one. Most i4 M50's will be equipped in the $70k's
