after viewing the concept video i am more in loved with the design. the LEDs, and where the door handles are make the car even more hotter.

So its another 4 door coupe. No, got damnit its a SEDAN that was styled with a coupe in mind.

I do find the CLS to be superb so I am sure this will be too.

I agree to much front end realestate. Makes for a good bug hit platter though.

I don't see the GS though. Care to point out where? Besides the rear doors I don't really see it.

To me I see it in the roof line, that long low slung slope ending with that short hatch like trunk.

Yet, still, THAT DAMN i-DRIVE!!!

Where's the Nav?

Yep, is what I thought. Gills like the Cayenne, rest of exterior, esp. headlights, like AM.

But yeah, the name "4-door coupe" is an oxymoron, lol. I guess it would be hard to describe it with another term.

4-door coupe sounds better than coupdan or sedoupe, no?

Great videos. Thanks!

I like it even more now. The whole rear end is just amazing. The best rear BMW has ever done by far. Just make the grill smaller and change the headlights and you have a great car.
