Quit making pretty cars I can't afford!!

The 4-series Gran Coupe is just as pretty, if not prettier than the 6-series Gran Coupe. IMO.

Ze Germans are very good at zis sort of thing. Make a wonderful car, and then make cost a lot of money.

The depreciation curve on these will make your nose bleed. You'll be able to afford one in about 5 to 8 years.

BMW won't offer any 4-series Gran Coupes with a manual transmission, so all takers will get a ZF eight-speed torque-converter automatic.

Screw you, BMW...

The fact that this is a hatch makes it somewhat appealing (even though I still don't like the new front end design), but the lack of a manual option is lame. BMW just seems to continue to lose the things that once made it stand apart from the other brands.

And Ze Germans are also good at leaving parts on the shelf, and making it cost EVEN MORE, for not giving you those parts!

this will be starting in the mid 40s when it goes on sale. with moderate optioning, a 328i will be in the 50s. let me be clear, this is not a 50k car.

BMW is known to do it too. See the Mini John Cooper Works GP, for example.

Costs more than the standard car, and yet has no back seat. Pay more, get less.

Pro tip: Check out the residual value on one of these, then decide if it's something you want in 3 years at that price. You'll still have approximately 64k worth of CPO-warrantied miles ahead of you!
