A 4 series sedan and four door gran coupe with a lower roofline would have been far more coherent. But yeah.

Perhaps someone will make a series that includes all the legendary small coupes from BMW... E30 M3, E36 M3, E46 M3, 1M, and M2.
When they released the (1M) the BMW M development team clearly stated the 1M was/is the modern E30.
