BMW has finally released its pricing on the entry level 640i Gran Coupe and then 650i xDrive Gran Coupe. At $76,895 it’s not cheap but it’s still a lot of style for the money in our opinion.
Official Release: BMW of North America today announced pricing for the all-new 2013 BMW 640i Gran Coupe. The $76,895 (including $895 Destination and Handling Charge) TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder powered 640i Gran Coupe is the initial model of the range, and arrives early this summer. Later in the summer, the TwinPower Turbo V-8 powered 2013 BMW 650i Gran Coupe and the all-wheel drive 2013 BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe will join the line. Pricing for the V-8 powered models will be announced closer to the time of launch.

First with the 1 Series coupe moving to the 2 series nomenclature and now with the rumor that BMW will introduce a 4 series.
