2014 BMW 4 series.

That's exactly what it is. They just renamed the 3-series coupe and made it into the 4-series model line.
When you think about it, there's really no reason to have the screen attached to a pop up mechanism. For most people, they're listening to the radio or using some i-drive related function so the screen would be up 90% anyways.

I know, but it looks just like the 3-Series. I believe BMW renamed the 3-Series coupe to the 4-Series in order to command a higher price premium for, what is, a decontented (two less doors) 3-Series.

One thing most people fail to notice though is that the coupe and sedan don't actually share many body panels. That alone makes BMW want to pad the profit margin since the coupes don't sell in as high numbers as the sedan. I don't believe the 4-series shares any exterior panels, actually.

But worse because it starts to obstruct the view of shorter drivers, like my wife. That's the biggest single reason we didn't opt for the navigation / idrive stuff in my E93, because she hated the double hump in the dashboard for the screen.

The BMW 4 series is for Americans like me who are too big to want the 3 series. When I sit in the 3 series I can easily reach back and touch the back support of the back seat. A man who is 6'5" should not drive a car that small. That is the main reason why I bought a GS350 back in the day rather than going with the 335

This car is growing on me quick. I really didn't like it in the beginning, and thought it was pretty plain and boring. A lot of say E92 owners are bias toward this car, and I thought i was guilty of that. Now I can see myself having one. Can't wait to see next M3/M4
The //M(arketing) badge on the side gotta go tho. This car can also seriously benefit from trunk lid spoiler.
