a VERY reliable source said this last week

"All to known coupe-cabrio as 4er - BMW have now changed their mind and will develop a new 4er car from the ground up - What shape this is to be in is not known as yet "

4 Series was first supposed to be the coupe/cabrio version of the coupe with a folding composite roof

probably a car thats more 'lifestyle' like to go and battle the audi TT and benz CLK. that would be my assumption
