Detroit 2014: BMW M4 F82 in Black Sapphire and Austin Yellow - World Debut

EdM5 · 01-13-2014, 01:43 PM

Looks great in Black but AW will be the best choice I guess.

MrBeranek · 01-13-2014, 02:06 PM

Don´t like the black/black combo, looks so depresing. But in AW or MW with non-black wheels it will be perfect.

Like the interior, carbon/leather combination reminds me of the M5/M6, which looks very good.

can any explain all these console buttons?
1. Traction Control Disable
2. HUD???
3. Dynamic Damper Control Adjustment
4. Electric steering weight???
5. Front parking camera
6. Parking Assist

Notice the grouping of 2, 3, and 4. I think they're all related to performance parameters:

2. Throttle response
3. Dampers
4. Steering assist

These are three parameters that all previous M-dynamic systems altered as well. BMW has gone back and forth over the years with varying degrees of independent adjustability for these parameters. I suspect there will be presets with some off-the-shelf configs, as well as the ability to program and store your own presets.

Black

The camera button above the one for the PDC is for the side and top view cameras

M4Trojan · 01-13-2014, 02:58 PM

What a beauty!

I wouldn't think the SS would look bad. I'm looking at the SO with SS interior

Agreed.
The M4 in black is to anonymus!
The M3 still has the edge imo.

Phoenix Yellow really varied tremendously on the lighting - it could look like the inside of a dirty diaper sometimes. I think Austin has some of those characteristics, but looks like it might not be quite a muddy. One of those you need to see in person under different lighting conditions.

Is the window trim on the black M4 gray/aluminum? The yellow one has gloss black like the E90/92 M3 right?

Or is it just the photos?

Wah · 01-13-2014, 03:27 PM

So how many years do I have to wait to get LED tail lights? Why does my 4 yr old M3 and my previous car (a 2004 330ci) have LED tails and this doesn't???

esquire · 01-13-2014, 03:29 PM

Judging by the photos of the seats - looks like there is NO leg extender. People who actually used the leg extender, know how major of a loss that is.

THE JEDI · 01-13-2014, 03:31 PM

UM the black is just demonic..yes take mine wine beige interior

I never used mine, so I won't mind.

Black Sapphire, I think I just creamed my pants!!

Neither of the previous models had them at launch - came with LCI after 1 1/2 - 2 years (2003.5 for the E46 M3). This post of mine from 3 1/2 years ago was prophetic:

I never drive without it. My friends think I'm retarded but once you have used it, it just feels uncomfortable not having it.

That engine bay is also very cramp and tight.

I can only assume that BMW uses the same symbols across all cars. If so, the last two deal with cameras. The first camera button is the "Side View Camera" this should run the cameras (left/right) fender/bumper. Those are the tow cameras in between the reflectors and the wheel arches. When you turn them on, you can see right and left. I only every used them once and that was when I was coming out of a blind alley way. You can stick your nose out and see what is coming down the street... Pretty much useless.

The second one is PDC Park Distance Control/top view camera.

Back end has potential although it will take time to get used to the new shape. Black is nice but is it me or does that thing pick up & show every speck of dust???
