What a current gen M2 Gran Coupe could have resembled
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com IMO, it would be easy to increase the wheelbase of the current M2 to make a Gran Coupe. BMW has done a long wheelbase 3 series version for the China market (which 3 series GT platform)... Below renders with animated gif to show the difference... The elongated body makes the car look more elegant IMO.

3/4 view now.
To make the Gran Coupe stand out from the regular M2, the kidneys are bigger and the lights are LED. Car is lowered and gains M bits such as carbon roof, M mirrors () etc... Original car, then Gran Coupe version and animated gif to show the changes.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That said, they should've made an M4 Gran Coupe.

This is impossible. This would bring the length to the dimensions of a 4 gc. This will only be made in a 4door hatch back, not a gc to keep the length well under that of the 4 series. 4 door gc is physically impossible at that length but it looks awesome. I don't think anyone would buy an m3/4 if this existed with these dimensions and looked like this.

This is light years off the mark, just wishful thinking. If the 4-series Gran Coupe looks so bad with a back hump, resembling the 3GT, imagine a 2-series Gran Coupe. That's why they didn't build it, because it would be too ugly and unbalanced.

if there was an M2 sedan...it would have the same wheelbase as an M2. the M3 and M4 have the same wheelbase. The 4-series Gran Coupe also has the same wheelbase as the M3 and M4.
thus the rendering is totally off. |
