So the new coupe will likely have a full inch longer wheel base than the big old 650i. That is crazy. No wonder it seems so big and looks like a 6-series going around the track.
I'm sure it will be a good looking car, but I don't think I want a coupe much bigger than my E92.

I think the 4e r will have a 108" wheelbase. Reason being, the a5 has a shorter WB than the a4, and the 6er shorter WB than the 5er. Now that they are distinguishing the coupe from the sedan, i think there will be significant dimensional differences. Rear seat leg room is not a major priority in the f32/f82.
