I'd consider the M4 Gran coupe if they made it. Love the M3 as is. Doubt BMW will make it as it would for sure take away M3 buyers.

Why would it cost $8k more? It would be the same or similar as the M4 (based on F32 vs F36 pricing).

The 4 series GranSedan is cheaper than the coupe. So the M4 GranSedan should be a little less than the coupe, not the same price.

I know it's nomination is Gran Coupe, a lot of people on this forum call it either a Grand Coupe or Gran Sedan. Just wanted to point out the right one..

this issue with the M4 vs M3 is that the rear fenders of the M3 look way more aggressive. Why is that? Some of you may ask. Well its because BMW didnt want to alter the rear doors specific for the M3. Hence the dramatic FLARE of the M3 vs the smooth flare of the M4. Now consider the M4 Gran Coupe. How in the world would the give it the same flare as the M4 without altering the doors? Another way to word it is, how could they make the rear flared without starting the flare in the doors themselves. Answer is.... they dont want to or according to their financial department. They simply CAN'T. UNLESS they figure out a way to flare the rear after the door. Which wouldnt look right as the standard 3 series and 4 series gran coupes would have much different "lines". Thats why I think and M4 Gran Coupe is out of the question. Anyone Agree?

I would agree completely with this statement. This is the hurdle that can prevent an M4GC. Essentially, all new body work. There is no way to flare at the rear like an M3 without major surgery on the body of the 4 series GC.

The OP did a great to make us fantasize. The M4 GC looks fantastic in the render, but it is impractical for the above reasons... most likely, and also due to market competition. Not to mention that this car looks like a sexy M5 on a diet, a M6GC on a diet not just a sexy M3.

The 4GC is beautiful and an M version would be subtly more beautiful than the M3 or M4.

BMW is getting very redundant with this "Gran Coupe" Bullshit. It's the M3 with a vent on the side and a different rear. WHY?
