The Gran Coupe is a handsome five-door based on the 3-series sedan, with the added practicality of a hatchback and a folding rear seat. Power comes from your choice of two turbo engines: either a 240-hp 2.0-liter four or a 300-hp 3.0-liter inline-six, both teamed up with an eight-speed automatic. Sadly, a manual transmission is not available; rear-drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Handling and braking are below what we’d expect from BMW, however, and steering is vague.
