2016 August-September

Model year 2017 I would expect. Whenever they decide to start production.

sandwi54 · 10-21-2015, 04:49 PM

Production for 435i stops 3/2016 and after that it's 440i

in your dreams

I know it won't happen, but I really wish they would offer a 6MT with the 440i GC.

RichReg · 11-10-2015, 03:29 PM

Isn't there supposed to be an M440i GC ...like the X4 treatment?

greekcs · 11-10-2015, 04:15 PM

must order 440i badging.

newoldbeemer · 11-11-2015, 01:10 AM

M240i, 440i, 440igc.. I guess we will see them slowly one by one. Then we will wait for mppk. BMW is doing drip irrigation.

I hope they never ever build a coupe with 4 doors!

Luckily, they don't. Because that's a contradiction.

coupe
[koop]
noun
1.
Also, coupé. a closed, two-door car shorter than a sedan of the same model.

They make a 4-door hatchback, and inexplicably call it a coupe.

Then again, I'm the guy that refuses to say "Tall" when ordering at Starbucks, since it's the shortest friggin' cup. If they won't make me a "small", I just leave.

Technically starbucks has a size smaller than the 'tall' called the short. That is why the tall is called what it is. Because it is taller than their smallest size however both are considered small sizes, by american standards, so they differentiated by using short and tall.

That's actually not accurate. It's simply a 2 door enclosed vehicle. I'm not sure why they referenced it being smaller than a sedan counterpart of the same model. That's wholly irrelevant and not universally true.

MPPK and associated MPE should be available next month for the 340i which means MPPK should be available right away for 440i/gc.

I hate timing. Our f36 is floating in the Atlantic right now.

Apparently in the not USA coupe means different things. Saw a video on it.

Copied & Pasted from Wikipedia:

Four-door coupé
A luxury sedan with classic coupé-like proportions. The low roof design reduces back seat passenger access and headroom.[23] The designation was first applied to a low-roof model of the Rover P5 from 1962 until 1973,[24] but was revived by the 1985 Toyota Carina ED, the 1992 Infiniti J30 and finally by the first model 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLS, which stands in Mercedes hierarchy between the E and S class, and has the appearance of a classic coupé and sedan. The term was also used partly from marketing reasons. German press accepted the concept of a four-door coupé and applied it to similar models from other manufacturers such as the 2009 Jaguar XJ.[25][26][27][28] Also, other manufacturers accepted it, producing recent competing models like Volkswagen Passat CC, BMW F06 and even five-door coupé, Audi A7.[29] The organization ADAC on its website also adopted this concept.[30] In Germany the definition of the coupé was finally divided into the classic coupé and 4-door coupé. This definition and concept of four-door coupé (instead of saloon) are evident in Germany, but they are not widely known in the rest of the world.
