Concept: BMW?s New Four-Door Sports Coupe

[Pedrocas]

Last April, from the sidelines of the 2010 Beijing Auto Show, BMW displayed a thinly disguised concept model of a sporty-looking sedan model named the Gran Coup?. Now, it looks like that the Bavarian automaker is preparing for the presentation of the final production model as the company has just filed a patent for the designs of its so-called four-door sports coupe.

Would make sense, a four door 6 series.. I like it, although still not sure about the rear.

 

[RoamingGnome]

On the face of it at least looks like a proper BMW to me

 

[maxtortheone]

Is this what they wanted to call the 8 Series? Looks like a wider 5 Series.

 

[LeMans GTR]

Whatevs, I'll take it, better than whatever SAV crap they're deciding to push out.

 

[GraemeH]

Looks very much like a Citroen C5, but that's just fine. It's a handsome car.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Handsome if a bit samey

 

[Dino]

Should be called the 11-series.

 

[DubyaStep]

now thats a pretty car (and im no fan of BMW) but i love that it looks like that C5, lol

Coupe? By what measure? This just looks like a 4-door sedan to me.

It still looks great, but it isn't a coupe.

Not back looking but the front seems a bit too long, unless it has a straight 8 under the hood it shouldn't be extending this far

that doesn't actually sound so preposterous considering BMWs straight sixes.

 

[rustyknife]

I'm seriously sick of the BMW grille.

 

[Night_Hawk]

I'm with highvoltage, It's good looking but it clearly has 4 doors. As far as I can tell BMW already makes a number of sedans that all look the same. But I guess a million and one is better than a million.

Yeah I'm half bitching half hoping

 

[chaos386]

Should be called the 11-series.

You mean the Eleven-series?

 

[gaasc]

Nice diversion from the latest BMW poo we've seen lately

 

[ninjacoco]

It's okay looking. Not BMW's prettiest effort, but a far leap better than their worst (the X-cars).

I have to repeat this, though: COUPES DO NOT HAVE FOUR DOORS. Haysoos, the stupidity.

 

[Karoug]

^The number of doors have absolutely nothing to do with if a car is a coupe or not...

 

[Jens]

For me a coupe will always be a 2 door and a car with 4 doors will always be a sedan, but that's just my way of thinking.
