Where have you been? The 4er and 6er have Gran Coupe models.

TBH, I'd be more likely to buy a M2 GC than the standard M2. But only if they put the B58 in it.

Give me a reason to get another car BMW!

I'd be much more inclined to get an M2 GC or more likely a 240 xDrive GC if they are available here. Looking outside BMW at things like the RS3 specifically to get a bit more ease of use w the 4 doors but not get into a bigger car.

Yes. coupes have 2 doors, unless they have four doors, in which case you can call them either a sedan or a gran coupe. the next time you have to reserve a limousine, make sure you ask for the 'really gran coupe'. RGC is a new type of vehicle I just invented, it's a coupe with an extended wheelbase and 6 doors.

Nice to have it in the general BMW discussion as not everyone reads every fecking board on this site.

I know about those (4er and 6er). Just didn't know how desperate those marketing folks had become. I guessed "sedan" and "wagon" are words that BMW marketeers dared not mumble. All the rage are on "coupe" and "crossover" now
