Remember when BMW restructured their naming convention so sedans would be odd numbers and coupes would be even... and then made an even numbered sedan version of every coupe they make.
Z4GC coming soon. |

That wouldn't make me give up my M235i coupe. Anyone that would give up their car because of that needs to get their priorities in order.

Great Bmw basically just made a faster CLA250 I'm glad Bmw is making cars for everyone now instead of just making good cars that are relevant to Motorsport 3,5,7 that's all they need. Smh

Proportions look good for a FWD based car

This thing could have been awesome - maybe the camo is hiding something great from a body shell perspective, but no ///M version = no real competitor to the RS3...

I also find the A3 a bit dumpy, like it needs to be a touch longer for the properitons to work. I do like the bigger “4 door coupes” such as A5, A7, and 6 series GC but I find the smaller cars just don’t pull it off well. Far far too many model variations now from all the German brands |

I remember trying to explain the M6GC name to a friend at my last job - when you try and talk through it out loud, it's even funnier...."But you said even numbers were coupes? This thing has 4 doors!"

RS3 is 400hp and awd... bmw doesnt make anything that quick at the M2 level... albeit they may make a more powerful version.

The silver lining is that the small RWD coupe and convertible will live on for another generation. If they put the S58 in the next generation M2, that's going to be a tough car not to love (especially if, as currently expected, they keep the MT around for all you clutch pedal fans). |
