I really like the W212 saloon design but I think the coupe looks apallingAs for the 4er CC vs. A5 its very close, the 4er wins wearing its concept trinkets IMO, but without it I might prefer the A5, both are very attractive cars. ( As a sidenote I have to add how incredible the 4 Series alloys look:
I like those alloys too but those alloys are 20 inch. I bet they won't be available on the production 4 series. The last M3 only came with 18s, or 19s as an option, so the standard 4er is unlikely to be offered with them (from factory).
This poll isn't a like4like comparison, whoever made this poll has mixed some S5 pictures in there too. The concept 4er is better looking than the standard production A5 and E coupe. I will have to wait for the final production model and like4like comparison to make the choice a bit more meaningful.

The F30 is available with a couple of 20" rims and the 4er will be also
AFAIK you cannot configure an F30 with 20 inch rims from factory. You can only buy 20s as an accessory to be fitted by the dealer, e.g. M Performance wheels

That is what my local dealer told me. I am aware dealers are not the best source of info
PS. I test drove an Estoril blue M135i with those M Performance 20s. The M135i looked awesome with those wheels (despite the £43k price tag), they are the perfect distraction from the ugly face of the 1er!

I can't compare a showcar with real productioncars. As far the two productioncars are concerned; the E-Klasse Coupé. By far the classiest.

The 4 looks more elegant and dynamic, the A5 looks sporty and the E just looks like it doesn't belong in this comparo.

"Unwatch thread"...Comparing Concept to production is just foolishness.

As ACE correctly points out, the F30 is only available with 19" wheels as a maximum. Dealer fitted accessories do not count. Even the F10 5 Series only has 19" available as an option.

But does it really matter where it's fitted
You just pay for bigger rims and also have the standards for winter Satisfying to know that 100,000 readers of Autobild magazine voted the E-Class Coupe the best looking model in it's category.
I had to do a double-take when I read this.......and sure enough, you're right! Amazing that they haven't.
But does it really matter where it's fitted
Yes it DOES matter I'm afraid.
A dealer fit accessory is NOT the same and it doesn't constitute that car being available with 20" rims as an option.

Ok, I agree
PS: For me it's good to have original 20" BMW rims as an option no matter where they are fitted
