BMW 3-series convertible, coupe to become 4 series

摘要

BMW's redesigned 3-series coupe and convertible will be renamed the 4 series in an effort to create more exclusivity and command higher prices for the two-door cars. The 4-series coupe is expected to go on sale in mid-2013, followed by the 4-series convertible in the fall. They will be joined by the X4 crossover that goes into production in Spartanburg, S.C., late next year and hits U.S. showrooms in early 2014. BMW also markets a Z4 roadster.
