With many luxury automakers debuting four-door coupes, like the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes CLS and upcoming Audi A7, it only makes sense that BMW would follow suit when it debuts the Grand Coupe in 2012.

According to Automotive News, BMW’s development chief Klaus Draeger has confirmed that the company will put its Grand Coupe concept car into production. The four-door vehicles will be based on BMW’s 6-Series, which is set to debut a two-door model in 2011.

Draeger told the news source that the pricing and technology will be close to the 6-Series, which is expected to retail for around $93,560. The company is also considering a hybrid option.

“We are in position to bring out an additional hybrid version since we are using the same powertrain architecture as the 5, 6 or 7 series,” said Draeger.

BMW says that it is aiming the Grand Coupe at sedan fans who also appreciate the ability to get behind the wheel and drive as opposed to the “chauffeur-driven” clientele of its 7-Series.

Drivers who see themselves in a BMW don’t need to break the bank in order to achieve that dream. There are many used BMWs available that may fall into a more affordable price range.
