BMW will replace the 3-series coupe with a dedicated two-door, called the 4-series, that's set to be unveiled in concept guise at the Detroit auto show. North American sales of the next-generation model get underway in late 2013.
"The 4-series doesn't just mark the start of a new cycle; it marks the start of a model with its own individual character and a stand-alone design," says BMW. "It stands for greater sportiness, added exclusivity and even clearer differentiation from the 3-series."
While described as a design study, the 4-series coupe concept is understood to closely preview the look of the upcoming production version. Only detailed changes are expected, including less flamboyantly styled bumpers and the incorporation of more conventional exterior mirrors, door handles and tailpipes.
The future two-door is longer, wider and lower than the outgoing 3-series coupe. It also rides on a larger chassis than the model it replaces, with the wheelbase extended by about two inches and the front and rear tracks increased as well. BMW hints this leads to improved interior packaging and greater levels of accommodation.
Despite aiming for a more individual look, BMW's designers have clearly taken inspiration from the latest 3-series in creating the look of the 4-series. The two cars share a similar front end, side lines and window graphic treatment. But with more acute screen angles, greater curvature to its roofline and a shorter trunk line, the two-door boasts a distinctly more sporting profile than its four-door sibling. The surfacing treatment also differs with greater contouring within the hood, added structure within the flanks and more defined shoulders.
