Latest BMW M4 Spy Pics Reveal More of Bumper and Mirrors

What was the purpose of the top prong of the mirror not being connected to the A-pillar? Is it to reduce whistling?

It's likely a folding mirror. The E9x M3 also has a gap (though it's hard to gauge how big or small relative to the F8x) if equipped with power folding mirrors. Aesthetically a bit tawdry, but you get over it.

Folding mirrors

georgere · 08-14-2013, 08:47 PM

are there similar shots for M3?

Baby got back. Nice arches too.

And front!

Looks awesome. The mirror is a bit weird, hope the gap looks a bit less noticeable without the camo.

I too wish it had vents next to the power dome. Looks pretty mean on the E92.

Looks absolutely incredible!

Thanks for the pics. I'm still not a big fan of what BMW had to do to the front of the 3/4-series to comply with European pedestrian safety regs but that wouldn't keep me from getting one. I definitely like the wide track.

To anyone on here, are we going to get the LED lights shown on the 4-series concept? Those were awesome.

I'm sure BMW will change it's designs if they catch wind that great GJM127 has been disappointed.

I can't give out my opinion now? To me, hood vents drastically enrich the sportiness of the car. What's wrong with me giving my opinion out on a forum to discuss?

steam rollers in the rear with those fender flares!

Totally agree, those rules have taken styling of almost every car down a notch. The hood has to be so high and trying to keep frontal area low/in proportion has created this squinty/pinched look. Plus that cut line for the hood... ugh.

Still, let's see how it performs!

2 links to 2 renders of the M4 on my DeviantART page.

Horrible mirror design

bosz · 08-14-2013, 10:27 PM

all i can say is the difference between 435i M sport vs M4 is narrowing big time.
