Hi all, i'm new here.

I 've to say this car looks waaaay more better in real life then on picture's, this is a really baby 6 serie Grancoupe for sure!!!

The rooflines from coupe looks stunning!
Way more similar to 4 serie coupe then the crap 3 GT.
Check out the pics. I think AW looks the best, some guys from the dealer are agree with that.

Congrats, looks great!

sr5959 · 06-27-2014, 06:03 PM

Just been to the dealer to look at the first 4GC they got in, a loaded ($65k sticker!) 435GC in Mineral Grey with 19s. This thing looks absolutely fantastic! Easily the best looking of the F Series cars to me, and a cheaper version of this will almost certainly replace my F30 around Dec/Jan, might even do ED.

Space-wise, it is slightly more cramped in the back seat than my F30, but still plenty of room once you're in. I am 5' 11" and with driver's seat adjusted to my liking I had good room in the back. Slightly awkward to get in through the smaller doors but once I was in it felt fine, just lightly brushing my hair on the headliner.

Beautiful, congrats.

One thing that I realised while specifying my Porsche Macan (which I cancelled in favour of the 4GC) : if the car looks good in any colour, then the design is good. If it only looks good in one or two colours, then the design is poor. I will only add that I would have been happy with almost any colour 4GC (Bim4live888 your white 4gc looks awesome!), but the Macan I struggled to find even a single colour that worked well.

Bim4live888 · 06-28-2014, 04:19 AM

For those on order a m-sport Grancoupe ,
M brakes is a must have!!
I owned a e60 M5 and this on my Grancoupe do very well, it's even surprise me!!
And it's looks great too..
The car drive really like a M car too, only sometimes you miss the punch. Active sound module doesn't disturb me at all, but sure they change something in that way.

Looks great these wheels, it match very well with this car, a little bit more close to the real M cars wheels!

Not sure about your country, but the darker wheels are only available with the msport plus package in the UK which comes with msport brakes, but you can buy the brakes separate and still have silver wheels, I’ve driven a 428i with standard brakes and they are more than good enough, I’ve not really noticed any difference on my 435i that has the msport brakes fitted, but they do look better

Yeah I ordered mine with the m-brakes, so I was wondering if I had the option of changing the wheel color?

yes exactly, in everywhere it's same, you have to get the m sport pack and m sport brakes to get this darker wheels.
by the way, did you see darker wheels ? how does it look in real life ?

it's a pity to hear that we purchased m sport brakes for nothing just the look. i have paid for it around 2500usd in turkey.

Ok, cool sounds good, didn't want to go with 19"s on our roads. I'm running 18"s on my vehicle now and they are just right. But guess can always upgrade those later on as I see fit.

Enilder · 06-28-2014, 09:10 AM

Second and third photos are the reasons why I love this car. 4 and 6 GC are definitely winners out of others.

I wouldn't say we purchased the msport brakes for nothing, they are a bit little better but not that much, and it's not a very expensive option as far as BMW goes, they brakes probably don't fade as much if you push the car hard, but I never do, and they do look nice

Just adding that the msport brakes are only $650 on there own

beto_L.A. · 06-28-2014, 01:16 PM

Here is what we get in the U.S. when ordering the M Sport line when it comes to wheels:
18" model 441M style wheels (ferric Grey) it adds automatically the M brakes.
18" model 440M wheels are no longer available based on the changes made for July 2014 production...
My GC is getting the 441M wheels with the M brakes, my car's production just finished.
I was told that the 440M wheels were back order and they had to add the next wheel available...
And I won't be charged for the M Brakes....
