I hate to break this to you, but America is not the only car market in the world. It's not even the biggest anymore. And it certainly is not the most important to BMW. BMWs margins are high enough that it makes sense for them to sell niche cars like the GTs here as well - it just doesn't cost them much of anything to bring them over, the work is done for the more popular variants anyway. And you pay a BIG premium if you do happen to buy one of the niche cars - pure profit for them.
As for those who think BMWs are somehow too common these days, you do realize Toyota sells *100,000* more Corollas in the US than BMW sells cars in total here, right? JUST Corollas. BMW sells about 300K cars in a market of 15 MILLION, plus or minus.
And once again - "coupe" does not signify the number of doors. A coupe is a car with a lower roofline, and thus the new 4-series Gran Coupe is a coupe. And so is the 6-series Gran Coupe.
