The second-generation BMW 4 Series Coupé has been spotted undergoing dynamic testing at the Nürburgring, ahead of going on sale early next year.
The new two-door Audi A5 Coupé and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé rival, previously spied on a truck near BMW's Munich headquarters, displays a clear family resemblance with the larger 8 Series. It features a prominent bonnet, heavily curved roofline, angled rear window and a pronounced shoulder line over the rear wheels.
Alongside the coupé model spied here, BMW is also developing a successor model to the 4 Series Convertible, which will feature a fabric roof in place of the metal structure used by the current generation, and a follow-up to the four-door 4 Series Gran Coupé.
The 4 Series Coupé is based on the latest variant of BMW’s CLAR (cluster architecture) platform. It supports both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive although, unlike the larger 8 Series, developments such as air suspension and four-wheel steering are not planned to be offered during its seven-year life cycle.

What possible reason is there
It is like disguising a new table tennis ball.
We know what it will look like.
We know what engines it will have.
We know it will be longer and wider.
We know it will have more irritating 'tech' crap on it.
We know it will make fake engine noises through its speakers.
Absolutely none of this is good news.

I confidently predict it will be better than the 8 series. But possibly not as good as its predecessor.

It sounds more like having a rant than expressing an opinion.
Regardless, Autocar don't only express opnions, but also report car/car related/auto industry news. As such this article is not supposed to be a review of the new 4 and what Autocar think of it, but merely reporting the news of its soon to be launch, probable specification, details etc. So, why get so het up about it?

Hot air....
I’m not a fan, I don’t like the way the rear deck has been done, otherwise it’ll be standard BMW fare, good to drive, nice to sit in.
