Not really, but yeah, if anything it would be the other way around since the F10 has more utility (seats three in back instead of just two, and has more rear head room). However, by extending that logic, we could also say that a sedan also defeats the purpose of a coupe, or that a touring defeats the purpose of a sedan.

In other words, yes, clearly this gives up a little utility in trade for what is intended to be more exciting styling. But that tradeoff has existed for decades in the automotive world - nothing new here.
