Here endeth the lesson....
By that logic, 4 Series Convertible should be called 3 Series Convertible, and 4 Series Coupé can stay that way. Round numbers are supposed to be niche cars (Coupés, Convertibles), odd numbers mass market (Sedans, Wagons, SUVs, MPVs). A roadster which is a 2 seat coupé with opening roof is a niche model. Look how badly Z4 sells, worst selling BMW ever.
