I cannt see how people think the M3 looks closer to a regular 3 series than the M4 does with the regular 4...

To each his own i guess

Every time I see a 4 series M sport I freak out thinking I've caught a M4 prototype out in the wild..... Never made that mistake with a 3 series.

1) Could have been pictured south of the equator, since it's almost fall down there.

2) Good 'ol Photoshop.

When I bought my 328i M Sport in 2012, I got asked constantly if it was an M3. It actually became bothersome to have to explain that "it's not an M, it's just an appearance package".

I like m3 better because it doesn't look like a 3 m sport nahhh the m4 is better because it doesn't look like a 4 m sport. The more pronounce rear fender is better on the m3 hilarious. Buy what you like and you can never go wrong.

Looking at these picture I think the M4 is one of the best looking sport cars to come out in the last few years. I can say with certainty that I will never mistake an M-sport for an M of either the 3 series or 4. The front & rear bumper/splitter/spoiler assemblies on both cars are completely different between M-Sport and M. I really don't see too many similarity at all in these areas. How could anybody that calls themselves a BMW enthusiast not be able to clearly see the difference? Maybe if you don't think that enough people will know you have an M car you can get a huge ///M logo wrapped across the car.

How often do you see 4 series M-Sports? Are you confusing the back view or the front? Why do I ask? Because I can't understand how you could be that easily mistaken. Especially from the back. The M-Sports has a large portion of the bumper painted dark gray with 2 black exhaust tips near the out side edges of the bumper. The M4 has a monochromatic bumper with 4 chrome exhaust tips located closer to the center. Those are just two really apparent telltales. The front view isn't so easy, but still I can't see a mistaking it. I would understand my mother mistaking the two but she isn't a car enthusiast.

Sounds good I'm thinking of getting another M4 as well in 3/4 years just so that I can get some individual frozen paint and do ED for what will be my 2nd time. Can't wait to hear more info in regards to our group ED

First official photos of a white M3/M4! Looking good, I think this should have been the color at release. Also, is Bruno pretending to drive here? Tach and speedo appear to be at 0 LOL

Great shots!

I used to think the M4 looked close to a 4 series, but the M4 rear fenders do appear a bit wider, also I think in person there will be no mistaking

You and me both. It's been painful with delays.
