<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> sure seems to take pleasure in confusing the hell out of us. It used to be pretty simple: if you wanted a compact Bimmer, you had to look no further than the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/3+series/">3 Series</a>. Then it was just a matter of which bodystyle you wanted. But the smaller end of BMW's lineup has gotten more complicated lately. Never mind the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/1+series/">1 Series</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/2+series/">2 Series</a> (in their various iterations) that have slotted in below it - now the 3 Series has been split in two: Want a four-door, get the new 3 Series. Want a two-door, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/4+series/">4 Series</a> is your address. Right?<br />
<br />
Almost. Because now there's a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/01/2015-bmw-4-series-gran-coupe-official-photos/">4 Series Gran Coupe</a> that keeps the two-door's roofline (or some approximation of it) but adds an extra set of doors in the back, thereby bridging the gap between the 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe. And it's just made its public debut here at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show/">Geneva Motor Show</a>.<br />
<br />
The difference between this and the two-door 4 Series is plain to see: it's got two extra doors. But what's the difference between this and the 3 Series sedan? About two or three grand, to start with - depending on which version (428i Gran Coupe or 435i Gran Coupe) you choose. But it's also sleeker, more muscular and altogether that extra bit sexier. Which is a good trait, as you can see from our gallery of live shots above, to have in your European sports sedan, coupe, or whatever you want to call it.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/04/bmw-4-series-gran-coupe-video-geneva-2014/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe blows the doors back on [w/video]</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/04/bmw-4-series-gran-coupe-video-geneva-2014/">BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe blows the doors back on [w/video]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:02:00 EST.
