wow!

RussRamz · 09-26-2013, 03:00 PM

Lecker!

tbensous · 09-26-2013, 03:19 PM

Did anyone catch the mention "Basic Engine" spec ?

Sounds like there will be a M performance upgrade of some sort... Or maybe for a csl version ?

esquire · 09-26-2013, 03:27 PM

slick video. nicely done and informative. but why the need to replay the same intro animation over and over again? also, why is there still camo on this car? we've already seen the car fully unmasked for all intents and purposes with the concept car

pkimM3r · 09-26-2013, 03:56 PM

Pfetty cool. Was waiting for that dumb bmw chime at the end and pleasantly it wasnt there! Was this bpost made?

If I was to buy an ///M4 (which still sounds awkward and very audi-ish) I would definitely change the badge to make it a ///M3 coupe. I would even do it on the base model 4 series. It just does not seem quite right that they changed the name of a legend and made it a weapon's name.... Also I still believe S55 won't be a very characteristic engine as the S65 was, sad to see bimmers getting turbos in ///M cars as they have done the e39, e60,e90 and even the e46. They sounded cool and especially e60 and e90 were hell of an engines. I personally don't like the styling of the e60 but these engines made me want both of them in sound and performance-wise.

amazing video!

The yoga/massage music was an interesting touch, the CFRP drive-shaft, a welcome surprise!

Get over it. Buy one. Drive it.

Did not read or see this anywhere, Is the engines crankshaft/rods and pistons Forged???? I don't understand the M optimized means.

Forged crankshaft, per our Technical Guide thread.

They took the music from the Star Walk app. I can't believe they did such a cool vid and then just lifted some music you can get from an free app

Why rebadge it for something that it is not? Makes no sense. It's a weapon's name, because it is a weapon..taking out those Adui RS5s

You know what? I own a house. Houses are overrated. Get the M4. I'm trying to figure out which organ I'm going to sell to be able to afford the M4. Maybe I can sell one of my kids...................

That video was awesome. I was mesmerized. It made me get over the loss of the M3 moniker. The car is fucking amazing, I don't care what they call it.

Jason yaco · 09-27-2013, 10:16 AM

Very nice!

rave426 · 09-27-2013, 10:57 AM

With all the trends in interior tech nowadays I bet a CSL version would be epic. Removing the stereo and plush back seats would probably eliminate 150lbs alone. Remove a bit of sound deadening, glass rear windows, and lighten the wheels and we got a M4 CSL at 3100 lbs

John Tanglewood · 09-27-2013, 11:01 AM

I'm now dizzy.

dreamsongs · 09-27-2013, 12:54 PM

Cool !!! Now release the car already.....
