Resident digital artist Jerry Alvarez has put together these speculative renders of the F82 M4 coupe.
The updated white M4 coupe render now incorporates the M6/1M styled front bumper with air curtain vents
recently spied
on the F80 M3 sedan. Not reflected in the renders however, is an expected sleeker front fascia and headlights (compared to the F30 3 series). The F82 M4 coupe is also expected to feature a carbon fiber roof.
The F80 M3 / F82 M4 will not be constructed extensively from carbon fiber (CFRP) as some earlier reports had speculated. Because this next generation M3/M4 began development two years ago, it's said to have been too early to take advantage of BMW's CFRP developments with the later introduction of the BMW i cars/project. The first model (besides the i cars) that will have extensive CFRP incorporated into its construction will be the next generation 7 Series, as reported earlier. Even without extensive CFRP construction, the next M3/M4 will be lighter than the current M3 sedan and coupe however, owing to its new aluminum chassis, and aluminum and reinforced plastic body panels.
The F82 M4 will share the same powertrain as the F80 M3 - an inline 6 cylinder engine with multiple turbochargers, pushing the engine's output to approximately 450 horsepowers.
We expect the M4 to hit the market no earlier than late 2014. For all M4 related news and info see:
