Anyone that thinks the Gran Coupe is a horrible car has never seen one in person.

The 4 and 6 Gran Coupes are sexy, but they make the 3 and 5 pointless.

My only problem is with it being called a coupe, but that's just my gripe with BMWs nomenclature. Btw I read catch-22 for the first time this summer and your name is awesome

But if BMW axed the 5 and 3 then they'd be crucified for getting rid of the "proper" normal looking sedans and puttingform over function.

They are absolutely beautiful, but crap all over the traditional naming-convention.

I've seen quite a few and I still find them incredibly ungainly, especially from the front.

Crucify them for creating the 2-series as the new model range for 1-series 2-doors but then building a FWD 5-door 2-series. I want watever drugs they're on at BMW.

Horrible car? Never. Stupid name? Yes. Makes the"regular" 3 and 5 sedans looks crappy and dull? Yes. Idiotic name? Yes, those aren't coupes just because you sacrificed rear head room for style.

Those drugs must be working. BMW has been number one in global luxury car sales for the past 9 years.

And good for them, but they're dead to me. It's one thing to produce the equivalent of a Bavarian Lexus, it's another to turn your model range into a confusing clusterfuck.

"Horrible car" to me, is much more about how a car drives than how it looks.

Ah I have seen the coupe and sedan and they look a little odd, not horrible but not stunning to me.

They look great, but something about BMW building two functionally and mechanically identical cars, then charging $25k more for the better looking one, rubs me the wrong way. (m5 vs m6 gc)

It's a stunning car, yes. But I'd still take my crapcan E30 over literally any new BMW
