Black Sapphire BMW M4 also appears at Detroit Auto Show

///M ARMY · 01-13-2014, 07:50 AM

Looks good. Looks like it hides the lines of the car.

lucas.kent · 01-13-2014, 07:52 AM

It is stunning in person.

cs4444 · 01-13-2014, 08:05 AM

Black looks great, I love everything about this car.

I agree

dmk08 · 01-13-2014, 08:26 AM

Could be the light but in this pic it looks a bit like Ruby Black Metallic

yomny · 01-13-2014, 08:36 AM

The car looks massively long from the side, could be the picture. Definitely going for the M3, looks great though.

zuggerat89 · 01-13-2014, 08:38 AM

I just can't excited about it, maybe I need to see it in person

The rear of the car behind the B pillar is SO LONG. It looks so disproportional! I don't know what is stunning about it. The M3 looks much better.

3M TAPE · 01-13-2014, 08:47 AM

Black does look good (and simple) on this car, hides a lot of "boring" lines..
Simple > boring
Can't wait to see it in person!

You will also notice that in those photos the Blue m3 they brought has a CF roof. I am guessing they brought 4 cars. 1 black and 1 yellow m4 and 2 blue m3

cgaffney004 · 01-13-2014, 08:58 AM

looks massive.. would like to see it side by side with the e30 M3, so we can see how bloated this thing has become.

Cl0ud7 · 01-13-2014, 09:00 AM

Rear 3/4 panel looks meh...Gotta see it in person before final judgement though but, def looks better than piss yellow.

Ffs630 · 01-13-2014, 09:03 AM

100x better than that snot yellow!! Still dont think the back of the car matches the front. I really cant wait for the M2! Now that is going to be an amazing car.

It may appear "bloated", but its weight is inline with the E46. The E92 was the peak of M3 weight.

Thanks for that link. This confirmed my final combo...M3 SO on SO extended.

Alan l. · 01-13-2014, 09:38 AM

I hate how the rear tails aren't full LEDs. BMW needs to stop playing this stupid game with giving the latest cars crappy lights until the LCI comes out....

Other wise the car looks ok in black. Wheels aren't aggressive enough (width/offset) and it should look tons better in white, blue or red.

The m2 would be great if they chop some weight off the m235i. As it is now the m4 and m235i both weigh about the same.
