Autoblog frontpage has the BMW 4 series gran coupe shown with camo but it's a four door, so another like the 6 series gran coupe, bmw is letting it ignore their model name schedule: Odd=4 doors, Even=2 doors. For example BMW 2015 M4, 2 doors, even number. Let's try another BMW 2015 M3, 4 doors, odd number. See this pattern? The most distinguishable car in their line up has a confusing new name. Guy standing on street next to his new M4, another guy walks up and says "Hey man, nice M3!" With a disgusted look, douchey M4 driver says "It's an M4 actually." in a douchey way. That's what's going to be happening. Potential customers walkinging into BMW being corrected by the salesman. "Nope, it's an M4. It's new this year, brand new model." Why are the gran coupes givien this rule breaker designation? And if that's the case, why can't we just have a 2 door M3?

BMW has retcon'd the numbering scheme to be:
Odd = Sedan / Touring
Even = Coupe / Coupe-like
Akin to Audi:
Odd = Hatchback / Sportback / Coupe / Coupe-like
Even = Sedan / Avant
The problem is that there's now an Audi A3 sedan... :\

Yup, it's all getting rather ridiculous.

Does their vehicle naming conventions go with their family truckster SUVs as well?

4 Series Sedan and the M4 Sedan
BMW is stupid for moving to 4-series though since M3 is so iconic. I also wouldn't be surprised if BMW did make an M3 coupe later on though. I hope we finally get the M3 wagon! M3 sedan, M3 coupe, M4 sedan, M4 coupe, M4 convertible, M3 wagon, too bad no M3/4 Compact though!

The REAL problem is that the A3 sedan will come at the expense of the A3 hatchback over here!

Indeed and the only A3 Sportback that we'll see is the e-tron plug-in hybrid in late 2014. /sigh
