We’re still marveling at the new 6-Series Gran Coupe, but already people have started speculating about the the next member of BMW’s Gran Coupe family, the 4-Series.

The 4-Series itself is yet to make its official debut as a new BMW model, and it probably won’t be doing so in the next two years. When it finally arrives though, it’ll spawn a Gran Coupe variant, which might look like what you see here in this rendering. It’s based on the new 5er, but it’s the face of it that matters, and in that terms it looks like a properly beautiful BMW.

Sure, by the time the 4 Series hit the market to compete with cars like Audi A5 Sportback and Mercedes’ upcoming BLS, the rivals have already established themselves, but the 6-series Gran Coupe is also late to the game, and no body seems to really care about that.

It is expected to steal a big chunk of the market from Mercedes CLS, which for years has been the king of this class.
