| World Premier in Beijing: The BMW Concept Gran Coupe
- New BMW Design concept aimed at giving direction to future BMW design trends in the midsize and premium markets
- The underlying theme is the most sporty and elegant high performance 4-door on the market
- Flat and coupe like proportions
- Over 16 feet long (5 meters)
- 4.6 ft tall (1.4 meters) [this is 3" lower then a 5 series]
- Frameless Windows
- LED Detailing

Munich. With an exclusive Design Night on the evening of the first press day at Auto China in Beijing (April 23rd to May 2nd 2010), BMW provides an in-depth insight into its design philosophy and development strategy. The program of the BMW Design Night is modular in structure and presents extensive background information on the premium automobile manufacturer’s innovative design culture. In addition to highlighting the long versions of the BMW 5 Series developed specially for the Chinese market, the main focus is on an elegant 4-door vehicle with striking dynamic proportions: the BMW Concept Gran Coupé.
The concept study on display symbolises the outstanding design expertise of BMW. The BMW Concept Gran Coupé concentrates the fundamental values of the brand. Its body design authentically captures a sense of superior dynamic performance and high-quality elegance. The shaping style, which follows a coherent pattern down to the last detail, convincingly visualises BMW’s philosophy as an automobile manufacturer. As with the Concept CS 2007, BMW once again sets new benchmarks in the design of 4-door coupes with a distinctive sporty character.
Based on a powerful tradition in this segment, the BMW Concept Gran Coupé carries the essence of brand values and the genes of BMW design into the future. The concept shows the classic features of all BMW coupes: the long wheelbase, the vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, the set-back greenhouse, the flat silhouette, the coupe-style roof line and the short front overhang reflect the dynamic potential of the vehicle. The surface structures and the fact that the design quality is geared towards perfection illustrate the aspiration of the brand BMW to build 4-door high-performance coupes with the sportiest proportions and the most elegant design.

Stunning looking concept! This is a great departure from Bangle's 'flame surfacing' direction with this new design identity. It seems like they're going forward and Mercedes is just catching on this whole 'flame surfacing' thing.

Hope the new 6 serie is somewhat close to this design in 2 door. If so, BMW might have a winner.
Or maybe this is what next gen 3er will be?

A sedan with classic coupé-like proportions. The designation was first applied to a low-roof model of the Rover P5 from 1962 until 1973[7], but was revived by the 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLS, as well as other models including the 2009 Jaguar XJ[8]. However, the low roof design reduces back seat passenger access and headroom
