If I had the $$$$ for a new BMW but not enough for a 6GC this would be my first choice.

Nice looking vehicle, very beautiful, much better looking than the 3GT, it actually renders the 3GT useless. I like the fact that they didn't make the 4GC to look like a baby 6GC. It resembles the 3 series but much sexier.

I say ditch one of these 3series variants and give the fans a Z4 M-Coupe, instead of some Toyota/BMW concoction.

I understand that the reason for all these variants is it relatively cheap with modern production techniques and panel sharing/replication to create different models on the same platform. So for BMW they don't have to outlay a lot of R&D to create these variants. Makes business sense but definitely a lot of fans have been scoffing at the idea. My personal opinion is, long term, a lot of fans will be steered into other BMW models i.e. 1series or 5series or other brands, due to the similarity of design of the 5 types of "3" series you have. In all honesty, my opinion, commonness on the road causes a car to loose its appeal, no matter how good/fast it is. Lets count:-

3series sedan
4series coupe
4series convertible
3series GT
4series Gran Coupe

5 designs all of a similar nature. I'd choose none of them, as 5 years down the line, these will be common as Toyota Corolla on our roads.
BMW are milking a cash cow here to death...........

But at least the A5 has its own unique look over the A4, different front end, fenders, headlights etc. The only difference with the F30 and the 4Series GC is the plastic boomerang in the front fender and the thicker bit of chrome on the c-pillar at the rear, yes it does have a lower and more sloped roof, but to the layman, or non BMW informed person, both cars will look identical.

Battling to work out why anyone would buy this over a normal 3er?

The same reason someone buys an A5 Sportsback over an A4 Sedan.
