I know that the F36 4GC is a hatchback, and to me, it's a big disappointment. Look how elegant and luxurious the F06 6GC looks compared to the 4"GC" (GT). The biggest issue about a hatcback is that they have a third window, and It doesn't look as good as when the hofmeisterkinck ends in the door.





This is how the 4 GC should looks like.

The original Conception of a four door was abandoned due to its close proximity to the standard 3er F30. Plus it's direct competitor the A5 Sportback was also a Hatch.

Bmw you forgot to make the i4 an egg shape like i3, unfortunate side effect is that it will sell like hot cakes (if priced competitively)

Was abandoned due to being expensive to produce... lets be honest. Also the hatch crowd is one bmw wanted to capture

I can't understand why the 4-door was abandoned for the hatchback, since we already had the A5 competitor - 3GT. And I don't accept the argumentation about the original 4GC was to close to the F30. It would have been much sleeker, sexy, low-roofing and luxurious 4-door 4-seating sedan, like the 6GC was compared to the F10.

Hopefully, you will change the concept to its original statement. If I would buy a Gran Coupe, then it should be a Gran Coupe, not a wannabe "Gran Coupe Gran Turismo"-mix.

And as you wrote in 2012 @scott26. It didn't make any sense to make the 4GC like ha hatchback since we already had the hatchback 3GT. I know the GT-series now are discontinued for the future, but still. We want a baby-6GC/8GC, not a "GC-GT"-mix.
