VIDEO: BMW's Gran Coupe, How MUCH Will It Influence Future BMW Designs?

The funny thing about BMW is that it is a brand that tends to show a lot of what is coming forward with its concepts. Usually the "Concept" winds up being the real deal with a few practical tweaks.

And, if you had not noticed, a lot of other brands are starting to bring forward cars that bear likeness to its concept.

For example, General Motors brought forth the Camaro, which looks nearly identical to its concept. Additionally, Audi's recently launched A7 looks pretty damn spot on, when compared to the Sportback Concept, which debuted at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show.

Back to BMW. With the recent relevation that the Gran Coupe has been given the go ahead from higher-ups, we can now take a look at its design and understand what it exactly means for the Bavarians going forward.

How much do you believe will be inherited across the line up? We know that the upcoming 6-Series will look pretty close to the Gran Coupe, but what influence will the Gran Coupe have on other models?
