The idea follows the larger car matrix which is modular that existing concepts can be spun off using a central piece which can then be lengthened or shortened with added modular parts to accommodate each vehicle.

If the end goal for BMW is to let consumers customize all car dimensions then I'm all for it. In my eyes they just seem to be in flux with the whole naming and numbering system.

I'll agree to disagree, how can you just redefine what is considered a coupe and a sedan in the same line up. To me a coupe will always be 2 doors and a sedan will always be 4 doors. Calling a 4 door sedan a 2 door grand coupe just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It just makes it harder to figure out what to call the next car that I want to purchase.
