Cheers.

Or that it isn't quite "done" yet...hence the blacked out windows?

UNO///M · 11-20-2013, 02:10 PM

Looks great. But I wished it would have a wider rear just like the M3.

richb811 · 11-20-2013, 02:23 PM

Stunning. Love that paint!

cjwb1984 · 11-20-2013, 02:28 PM

Common BMW, can you paint it a different color? JK

krnnerdboy · 11-20-2013, 02:43 PM

I believe it's been said somewhere that the 20" wheels on the concept would not be available for the production version. 18" wheels are standard, with a 19" option that also comes in black.

Sick! See a few new details. And the windows are down but no interior shots?!

What will the production models bring? The M4 Coupe will essentially retain its concept form (minus some of the fancier carbon fiber add-ons), while the M3 Sedan will look just like the recently spotted Yas Marina Blue M3.

Final performance figures and specs will be revealed at Detroit and they should be close to the preliminary stats already released by BMW.

Enjoy our photos!

Any chance of get detailed pictures as these for the M3 ?

It's weird, but aren't the windows opened in some pics or are my eyes playing tricks?

No, because there is no M3 concept to take such pictures of. Once BMW reveals the production M3 in Detroit, you'll be able to see plenty of live shots here at BimmerPost. And we are likely to get some BMW studio shots even before that.

Agreed. We're probably the largest market for //M cars, and BMW always introduces //M cars at Detroit. Porsche doesn't even do the Detroit show anymore.

Anyone notice the Mcolor stripes on the carbon roof? These were not there at pebble beach. did they add them just for Tokyo? Pretty weird thing to add to the M4 Concept...

harder than you think since that exhaust won't be on the production car

Bam226 · 11-20-2013, 04:14 PM

Any ideas of a price? Car looks incredible.

basscadet · 11-20-2013, 04:16 PM

Hate to say it, not feeling the shape of this car. It's missing some of the masculinity of the E92. Looks too luxo-cruiser, M6-ish for me.

The Yas Marina blue M3 in that motorcycle vid is still the bar that has yet to be passed.

This is the same M4 concept as at Pebble Beach. Same car, so same M color stripes that were there originally.

There was a lot of discussion about the stripes when the concept debuted, actually. Here's a pic straight from the concept thread stickied at the top of this forum

Definitive · 11-20-2013, 04:34 PM

Gotcha, I guess I missed that discussion earlier on.
