Yesterday evening I was looking at (while passing with some friends) a BMW coupe-style machine on a garage forecourt near my house. Couldn't quite work out what it was, looked about 5-series size. Turned out to be a 6-series but a 4-door with a sloping back but only a boot not a hatchback, so a saloon. Called a Gran Coupe apparently! The badge said 640d which I gather is actually a 3-litre diesel. Really struggling to see what market segment that is aimed at.
