I admit the 4 door coupe concept kind of vexes me. THAT we will just have to roll with.
and people that don't follow BMW like I do will always be confused...

Just go on autotrader, select bmw, and check out that huuuuge drop down list of models. It takes a bachelors degree in Bavarian Motor Works just to shop for a used one!

Bloody economics. We all pay in the end

I have no doubts that people will pay whatever BMW asks for the 4 series. Can't wait to see the coupe but I'm most likely going to end up with 335i or M3 regardless.

My 4 is better than your 3. Its basically a mini 6. (Sigh)

Theres the $$ scam behind it.

"Coupe" derives from a French word, "coupé", the past participle of the verb "couper" which means "to cut". So it's not necessarily wrong to apply it to a sedan that has a piece of useful space sliced out of it but still has four doors.

By the way, what are the plans for the forum? Combine 3-4 series?
