"Meet the hatchback version of the coupe version of a saloon" 
remember they already have a 3 series GT
Seems BMW are falling into the Audi appraoch of trying to exploit platforms with as many varients as possible

it would almost make sense f it werent for the GT but yes, bit laughable really but what with the platform sharing and ease of design changes etc then its no surprise most manufactures are bringing out all these quirky versions and crossovers

I'm not sure if you need new specs Robin but the same applies here as did with the M3 and M5.
Unless you sat studying it, they could be exactly the same car.

Without badges or them placed side by side, I'd struggle to name the model, if I spotted it in the wild.

The front is completely different. As are the real world proportions.
But they are very similar!

You kidding me? The side profile of the 3GT is awful, the 4GC flows better.

4GC looks nice. 3 & 5 GT look very mis-proportioned and top heavy / underwheeled.

The standard model insignias aren't much better Joe, look like an afterthought or a fridge label

Love the M6 GC our CEO currently has one, prefer it to standard M6 and I'm all for 2drs / coupes.
Really liked the 4 we had on demo, hoping get a 4 grand coupe when launched.

It's the M-sport badge, what else are they supposed to put on there?
Also not really anything new, is it?
