new 4-Series?

is it true? BMW has new 4-series???

It has been said that the next generation 2-doors based on the 3-Series will be the 4-Series. BMW, apparently, is going to even numbers for 2-doors (4-Series, 6-Series)...and odd numbers for four-doors and wagons (1-Series, 3-Series, 5-Series, 7-Series).

The pictures you posted are the 1-Series-based coupes (probably 2-Series), I believe.

Thatd be cool if BMW finally came out with a hardtop convertible.

That's not a picture of a hardtop convertible. Those are two different vehicles or concepts. Notice how large the rear window is on the coupe...you'd never fit that behind the seat of the convertible.

Is BMW really doing away with the 3-series?

No. The 3-Series will be the 4-door (sedan and wagon) versions....and the 4-Series will be the 2-door (coupe and convertible) versions.

I sense a bit of photochop on the pic of the hardtop coupe. That's not a BMW roof, looks more like a MB.
