Coupe or GC

[brad850csi]

We need to split that between 640i, 650i, M6 and in the rest of the world 640d as well.

The reason why the GC is less in 2012 is that they didn't start shipping them until part way through the year.

But not too shabby in pictures either

I would greatly contemplate getting a 640d if only it wasn't for the ugly digital cluster and the fact that they aren't available in the US.

Otherwise, value is great and MPG is
Would be a heavenly grand tourer

Easy! The 6 GC is the best looking car BMW has made in years hands down.

itching to put a pic of mine up, in for paint correction so hope its sunny saturday for a pic, min is Ruby Schwartz (black with red sparkles in english )

back from the shop, no sun as its England

but GC for me, i like the lines the extra doors give and the longer sleeker appearance

The ONLY thing I like about the GC is the center brake light on top of the rear window.
But for me it is COUPE, from every angle, on any day, hands down!
One says "The Brady Bunch" while the other screams "James Dean" - you pick...

I always found it weird they didn't stick with one brake light design on all F06/12/13 chassis, IE putting it into the boot lid.

I do like that design feature on the F06 though.

I wanted a coupe as preferred the look and my wife wanted a GC, having 2 teenage daughters and growing fast.....


....so we comprimised and I got a coupe

GC is the best looking 4 door out there though.

So sales figures matter, why?
Some folks are undoubtedly compromising and setting aside their first pick in order to haul kids n groceries. Probably all of 'em.. ;-)

Quite a few posts pandering to what others think as a determinative factor...that wasn't why I bought what I did.

It's all personal preference. I wanted a sporty/hot rod looking car so I picked the 650 coupe. Both styles are great looking but one is definitely more sexy than the other.

Great colour combo too, white on black rims (not bias at all )

Sorry but 4 doors messes up the lines of the car.

no way. If anything, looking at the side profile, I think the GC completes the lines of the car, as it smoothly tapers off towards the back. The coupe looks like it was abruptly cut off short. Everytime I see a coupe, it just looks "short" to me. The two cars are very close (I think within 4 inches) in length, but the coupe's proportions isn't right.

The market's already decided that the GC is more desirable for many different reasons. There's a significant difference in pricing in the used market.

Sorry but "looks better" isn't one of them.

Coupe is a great thing thing...Gran Coupe..is a great thing that can carry 4 people (3 in my case as no one sits behind me unless absolute emergency... i treat it just like a 2 door anyway.. I had posted somewhere before.. that this f06 platform gives you stunning style IN a sedan wit the capability to have over 600hp... cant go wrong either way....

[babaikram]

Well as a neutral, i would say the coupe looks sexier but I would buy the GC because of functionality

Sexier being the key word here.

I've always been a coupe guy, but personally I like the GC better. But different strokes for different folks

[Giggs11]

Just left the car show few days ago and was parked next to the beautiful GC, but according to people specially younger crowd most attention was on coupe , some of the comments- GT car needs to be two door car,GC reminds me of 5 series , will still buy coupe and leave kids at home lol,coupe is sexier,looks better , more sportier ,can't afford nether,Less door last chance for something to break LOL, etc etc .... will post vid in a few days - YouTube - project650

I’m considering a m6.

Spec will sway me more than body style as I like both. I probably slightly prefer the GC though. Proportions are just right.

Nothing much between the used prices from what I’ve seen in the uk. They’re big and thirsty for uk roads so they’re virtually the same price as a m3/4.
