    BMW Gran Sport "4 door coupe" F12

    BMW was finally jumped on the band wagon. Opinions?

    Exterior



    Interior



    My .02. I'm let down because the car isn't different. Less distinctive than both a the CLS and A7. Its an F12 With just an extra set of doors, whereas the A7 and CLS look nothing like the A6 or E Class which they are based or anything else in their respective lineup's. It would have been to interesting to see another iteration of BMW's current design language, they obviously let us down there. Given BMW's sporting pedgree and being arguably the the creator of the sports sedan I expected a hold hearted attempt at this segment, however this seems like just a stab at a piece of the market. In my opinion no one does sport luxury better than BMW with the exception of Aston Martin. What better way to canvas this than a 4 door coupe. Hopefully next generations attempt will be a valiant one (if it survive's). I'm speaking purely on design. Driving dynamics will probably be as good as they can for the car that will likely weigh in a little south of 4500 lbs.

    I loved the Concept from a couple years back:

      Side profle is ok, but the front end just like the regular 6 series looks like a weasel.

      I too like the CS concept. if only they made that the 7 series, then made a slightly smaller version the 5 series, and then a yet smaller version the 3 series. you know, like they used to do.

        Let me guess: It weighs as much as an SUV, has a million horse power and no manual option. This 4 door coupe bull shit has got to stop.

                ^+1 I still can't stand the way that car looks.

                I like this for what it is.

                    I think I must be one of the only people on Earth that likes the Panamera.

                    I think TechArt did a pretty good job on one:

                      Josh, think I saw one of those in La jolla.


                      I wish this nightmare which is the current state of the auto industry would end.
