Before the year is out, the long awaited next-generation BMW M3 and M4 will debut, bringing new tech and a new bodystyle: Autocar has info on an M4 Gran Coupe. In 2014, M GmbH sales chief Jörg Bartels told Cars Guide in Australia, "It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe." At the time, it didn't make sense to upend production logistics with a niche model for a car barely a year old. Since then, appetite for the standard 4 Series Gran Coupe in the U.S. and China has put the sales mix at roughly 50% for the four-door, the coupe and droptop splitting the remainder about evenly.
