BMW Concept Gran Coupe divulge live in Beijing

BMW unveiled its new four–door Gran Coupe concept. To be more precise, they revealed the car in the Chinese city, but not at the show itself. At the time, we scoured the BMW stand and the only new vehicle we found there was the 535Li extended-wheelbase, with no sign of the new concept. It turns out that BMW held a private reception the night before the media day at the show, and there the concept stayed.

In a 'better late than never' move, one of the attendees has posted a video of the reveal, and we're sharing that with you now. Designer Adrian van Hooydonk and Chairman Dr. Norbert Reithofer opened the doors on the Gran Coupé in an extended (albeit not particularly awe inspiring) manner, but the concept still looks pretty great regardless, and it also looks very nearly production-ready. Hopefully we'll get a chance to check out the Gran Coupe live somewhere soon, but in the meantime, check out the video after the jump.
