BMW has further neutered 2015 and on 3GT sales because of how they positioned the 4 series gran coupe...It can be had cheaper because 3GT still isn't available as RWD. The 4 gran coupe is a better looking and more dynamic version offering similar utility (a hatch). Of course it has less space, but the point is it's not going to help perception of the 3GT.
Totally agree with both comments and I will be shocked to see the 3GT produced past 2015.
