Updated my M4 coupe render with the new F80 M style bumper, not exact but very similar because obviously both cars wont have the same bumper. you can view it in HD under my DeviantART.com page the site is written on the bottom left of the photoshop.

WOW!

Thanks E92Alpine! Well done!
If the new M4 looks anything like this, I will be adding this beauty to my garage!

no problem buddy. i think this front end with the lights fits a coupe more than a sedan in my opinion.

Updated With F80 M3 Renders in White: Many members asked for a preview of a white F80 M3, so that's what we've added below. We had a little bit of fun with black/dark wheels and a black roof, but it does not represent carbon fiber as we do not expect the F80 to be fitted with a carbon roof. We do expect the F82 M4 coupe to feature it, however.

Yes please!

DrivenByE30 · 08-10-2012, 10:52 AM

Long Live the 4-door M3 !

Blip Bavarian · 08-10-2012, 11:09 AM

Looks Fantastic!!

Chico · 08-10-2012, 11:26 AM

this car is worth the painful wait.

Nope. As the updated first post says, just having some fun with some modifications and different looks.

Bimmerlover76,
Take a look at this pic. Don't tell me that the e92 m3 is more aggressive. To each his own. Anyways, I actually asked my 6-year-old nephew which looks meaner today. He pointed at the F30 3 series.

I do see your point and I will concede that there are aggressive points of the new gen, but there are a couple of things that give me pause.

First, the straight hoodline that cuts into the flow of the metal. I'm not sure how they could have fixed this, but I am sure that it doesn't work well.

Second, I think a spear tip or sword edge is more aggressive looking than the blunt end of a hammer or any other blunt object.

DoD74 · 08-10-2012, 01:11 PM

I think it looks fantastic and I am also an E generation owner. I like that BMW is trying to keep the sedan version comfortable and luxurious as well as sporty and aggressive. Isn't that supposed to the the point of an M3? Equal parts luxury car and sports car, best of both worlds...

phillye30fanboy · 08-10-2012, 01:12 PM

looks a lot more aggressive then the E9X, but im feelin the renders so far. Curious about what the back of it looks like.

I love everything but just not feeling the hood. Looks too square to me. However the rest of the car is beautiful and I actually have no issues with giving up my v8. After driving the 1m, I'm quite excited to see what they are going to do.

ES_TRADER · 08-10-2012, 03:34 PM

sure, why not, ill buy one

Thrumcap · 08-10-2012, 08:25 PM

I don't understand why the carbon fiber roof is limited to the coupe. Is there a reason?

M3chaser · 08-11-2012, 03:39 AM

This render is a pure piece of art no doubt

However , the wing mirrors are taken directly from the M5/M6 which I doubt would be the case.
M3/M4 will definitely get its own wing mirror design, my bets, more flashy and sporty, but I think we will have to wait until Frankfurt Show 2013 to find out, just like the M5 the final wing mirrors were not shown at the concept stage about 6 months prior to its production world debut.
My predictions though.

Because there is too much demand for a moonroof/sunroof option in the 4 door.

It will definitely have more aggressive looks compared to new M5 & M6.
The rear bumper will most likely have the design details of the front bumper.
The front center "mouth" opening should be larger than shown in this rendering.
Will it have fog lights? I would say yes.
And I think headlights will be different shape at least on the 2 door M3.
Oh and let me mention again regarding seats and side mirrors, hope BMW is coming up with something sportier to better match the M3.

You completely lost me when you said you think it will have fog lights . BMW stopped putting fog lights on the M models since the E46 and the E39.

Hell, the F30 M-Sport doesn't even have fogs anymore, why would the actual M car?
