So probably there will be an M340, but eventually will there be a M440Gc? Will there even be an M440? Since 2018 is the LCI, is it correct to assume the G2x version will be a 2020?

Probably not. BMW wants to combine the GT and the GC.

It's just a badge, they don't really do much other than the usual M Sport models

I think it's more that the 4 series GC won't exist in 2 years.

Most likely with the way BMW is going. They try to stamp the M on everywhere like AMG.

Yes it is very likely there will be an M440 with 4 doors, however the form factor is unknown... as noted above BMW plans to merge the 3GT and 4GC into one model. My money is on the merged model being more toward sleek 4 than bulky 3GT

Considering the 4GC is accouting for 50% of the 4 series sales, it's a model to stay.

Much as I'd like that to be true...I think it's doubtful.
I'd expect a 4 Series GT in 2021 because..:

a) The 5 Series GT has been re-badged 6 Series GT and...
b) There are no new SOP dates for replacements chassis for either the 3GT & 4GC;;
but EOP for current models are both 07/20.

....but still with the LWB to allow bigger backseat room.
