There are plenty of inexplicable choices, like the incredible stupidity of programmable M-buttons (like going to a 3 Michelin star restaurant and ordering a build your own topping pizza) but different looking cars that also have different names, and different prices is not one of them.
What I don't understand is that they will build a 6 series Gran Coupe, and a M6 Gran coupe, and a 4 series Gran Coupe (but no M4 Gran Coupe, Hmm wonder why?), X4, and soon an X2, yet they will not make a 2 series Gran Coupe or M2 Gran Coupe, until the next 2 series. Mind you, BMW in their infinite German wisdom with their naming system, makes a sedan version of a coupe version of a sedan, and uses even numbers for that, yet odd numbers for the original sedsn version.
