These spy images present a more recent model of BMW’s smallest sedan that appears a bit extra previous guard than avant-garde.
Contemplating how restrained the adjustments to this Gran Coupe prototype are, we’re betting it is extra a mid-cycle refresh than a very new automotive. This could additionally match with the very fact the Gran Coupe was solely launched right here for the 2020 mannequin 12 months.
