BMW says no M4 Gran Coupe planned

Carsguide reports that there is no BMW M4 Gran Coupe planned and it was just a misinterpretation of CEO Norbert Reithofer’s statement in a press conference.

At the Australian launch of the new M3 and M4 models, BMW’s M sales boss Jörg Bartels confirmed the decision not to build an M version of the recently launched 4 Series Gran Coupe.

“That is a negative. It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe. Part of the reason is expected production volume, but also the 4 Series Gran Coupe is built in a different factory to both the 3 Series (sedan) and 4 Series (coupe), so there is a lot of challenges there.”
