The most beautiful sedan ever?

[Qsilver7]

In regards to the 3rd brake light...win goes to the GC. I find it more interesting than the small 3rd brake light found on the vert’s and coupe’s trunk lid like many other vehicles.

And the GC’s rear “pass thru” rear seats (fold down) are interesting...but I was always curious as to why they only have one design. If you’re in Europe or other markets that got offered the front sport seats...then the rear seats “match” on the GC. But if you live in a market (like the US market) where the comfort front seats are standard equipment...then visually the front seats and rear seats have mismatched headrests.

The verts & coupes have rectangular rear headrests that match the rectangular headrests of the comfort seats.

The 1st pic below is the f06/f12/f13 front sport seats (not available in the US market)...but note how they match the rear headrests found in the f06 GC (2nd pic). In. The 3rd pic below you can see the GC’s front comfort seats with the standard fold down rear seats where the headrests don’t match:

the coupe reat seats kust looks more appealing to me. yea ots small and not roomy but the reat seats of the grand coupe doesnt looks as good and the f10 5 series or any other bmw i have seen

im more so talking about the seat bottom the stitching. the lines are not of the usual bmw styles in the past

those two feature made me get the coupe. i dont have kids. even if i did i thats what the wife/ gf cars are for. they usually have sedans and suvs


also still have my e34

As much as I like the coupe's design overall, I'm also of the opinion that the small 3rd brake light doesn't go too well with the car. Not an eye sore by any means, but I think they could've done something better considering how beautiful the rest of the car is. Perhaps that's partially due to recent design trends on 3rd brake lights, which would also be a shame considering how well the rest of the design holds up, and probably will continue to hold up.

I'm not particularly fond of the implementation in the GC either, but if I had to pick one, I prefer the GC when it comes to the 3rd brake light. Placement aside, I think the size goes better with the car.

Dam those front "Sport" seats looks nice as hell

If you have the upper articulating back (see #4 in pic below of seat control module)...then you have the 22-way comfort seats.

• 4-way lumbar support
• 2-way side bolster support
• 2-way upper articulating back support
• 2-way seat back movement
• 2-way headrest movement
• 8-way seat bottom movement (fore/aft...up/down...front tilt up/down...rear tilt up/down)
• 2-way extending thigh support

And to me, the quality of the gc rear seats is just too nice to cart my 2 or 6 year old in on the regular, making me realize that I just love this car too much... maybe it’s the brown Napa leather, or just that this is the most dreamy rareish car I’ve ever owned, but I think the rear luxury is on par with the rest, down to the powered sunshades.

I agree wholeheartedly with you—-much more prefer the spoiler above the rear windshield. And the four doors makes this an elongated beauty. The two doors definitely look too small for the car's length.

Yeah! And I love the contour and stitching, so plush and comfy.

I just wish the side bolsters up front squeezed a bit more... but I guess us obese Americans don’t get that support... lol. The euro sport seats look amazing.
