What's the issue? 4-door coupes get even numbers too. There will be a 4 door 4 series coupe and quite possibly a 4 door 2 series coupe also. It makes perfect sense - well to the extent that calling a car with four doors a coupe makes sense. But you can't blame BMW for that one, they are just staying in the game with Mercedes and others.

By the way, don't count on a 1 series sedan, at least not for the F2x generation.

1-series = sedan, hatch, and GT
2-series = coupe and vert version of 1er
3-series = sedan, touring, and GT
4-series = coupe and vert version of 3er
5-series = sedan, touring, and GT
6-series = coupe and vert version of 5er
7-series = sedan

WTF is a 4-door version of the 6er doing being referred to as a 6-series? Shouldn't it be a 9-series or something?

BMW is about to f-up its own nomenclature...
