BMW decides not to cede the 4 door coupe market
BMW is showing a 4 door coupe at the Shanghai auto show, it’s a hot car and will make the 4 door coupe market more competitive.

I don't really like the grill/front end, it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the car. It looks like they just took the 750 and added some racing inspired lines. I was hoping for something a little more sleek instead of the muscle look.

When on sale?
When will this be on sale for GP? Looks good, but need to see it in person.

It does make it pretty clear that they are sticking with the flame surface styling. I think the muscle car stance is also reflecting the fact that this is probably an M class (8 series?) on display in Shanghai with a 6.0 liter V-12. Also, it is built on a 7 Series platform, which means this is more than a concept, maybe an ’08 model.

Here are some additional photos/comments from the same 'spy/spec series'. Sounds like firm details and actual photos may be available tomorrow.

Nice pics
Nice pics, any word on price? Actual specs? I am searching for some answers....I think I will stay with my quest on the CLS as my next car though.

A dodge charger is a vehicle made by the Chrysler group. A four door, real wheel driven, Mercedes parts sharing, HEMI Engine as the power plant, 340HP muscle car (SRT8 340HP and HEMI 425HP based are the only platforms worth buying). Google it to see pics and specs.
I was considering getting the charger when it first came out, but it suffered the fate as most domestics, which is poor quality interiors. It is a fast cheap ride, some love it. Some hate it. Oops..long answer. Let me stop. LOL.

To add...
I hope that this BMW will be definitive. So far, I remained unispired by their new line. This looks cool, but as some mentioned, it looks like a Charger and a CLS had a baby? Does that sum it up?

Thanks for the post 55! More to look at now, these guages look kinda funky! Hmmm... I am not sure on this one.
