Got a chance to test drive this AW 435i GC with the M Sport Line Black interior fully loaded.
I can see why people don't think is sporty but you need to see it in person in order to see the difference between the 3xx & 3GT, it's no where near close to the GT. Can't wait for my 4GC to arrive in the next few weeks..
For those who use IPod classic to play out music:
I was able to plug in my IPod classic and it worked just fine. I used the white Apple cable and I was able to display the art work.
I have a 160 GB IPod.

Hi. I agree it looks different in person (and very good!). But I have not driven one. What did you think was not sporty? Or more importantly what (if anything) was less sporty than a regular F3x (which almost no one considers as sporty as the E9x anyway)? Thanks!

The car doesn't picture right, but in person it has similarities to the 6GC and that's where you can see that it is very sporty... The drive was great it doesn't feel heavy at all...I've had the E46 & E90 the steering wheel as we know is different but to me the sportiness is there no doubt about it.

People keep saying that it looks like a 3GT but I disagree 100%, the car sit low the roof line is similar to the 6GC...all around a different and good looking car.. I'm waiting for my MG/Coral Red 4GC.

I disagree 200%!!! How can they compare the big and heavy 3GT with the slender and aggressive shape of 4GC?

The same people that don't agree with BMW renaming their cars, or adding new choices (i.e. 4GC) are the ones making the comparison.
IMO the car looks great, feels great and it's a good choice to have.
I was about to order the 4 Coupe but once I saw the 4GC I knew that was going to be my next car.

Agreed Totally!! I had the choice between a 3GT, the 4GC, and the x4. And the went with the 4GC it's one of the most beautiful cars out there. Most of the Online Reviews say so as well. The 4C just got what car coupe of the year.

Its a little low for my tastes and present road conditions, but gladly make the sacrifice for all the Pluses it has!
