That is strange. They styled the car without regard to the frame tow hook location, so the designers just had to make it work. Gotta love the styling team messing with the engineering guys.

Can't wait to hear of impressions in the flesh and, more importantly, engine details!

I was thinking the same exact thing..............Phil

this thing is amazing. cannot wait for the specs.

W12x · 08-15-2013, 11:43 PM

Are those the standard brakes or the upgraded carbon ceramic brakes?

Fellfromdsky · 08-15-2013, 11:44 PM

That front end!!! O.o I can't wait to drive one...

Maz335i · 08-15-2013, 11:46 PM

Just wanted to say this M4 is pure sex!

I have found my car and totally ready to order this...I don't need all the available options; just the standard dct, nav, pdc, upgraded sound system and I'm pretty much set. If this totals to $80K here in Canada, I'm ready!!!

Get real.

I bet a sandwich an M4 with DCT, nav, and premium is 70k. That is good.

-yes I know there will be a plethora of NEW options to make it more expensive, but do not forget that those are NEW and EXTRA so they do not account for the basic price of a car. You can always mod, now BMW is selling the mods.-

I bet a sandwich it's more. Base I bet will be $66k and then add options. $75 k minimum with DCT, Nav an Premium.

Car gets lighter=more $$$$.

Lord I ask for many things, no sense stopping now. I love this beauty.

As with the M5 and M6:

Gold = M carbon ceramic brakes
Blue = standard M brakes

jlstyle · 08-15-2013, 11:52 PM

Damn this looks expensive.
Details are too good for a production car at this price range...of an old m3.
I think unless they bump up the base MSRP up to mid $60k to low $70k, I suspect all these goodies will be an option.

shatty · 08-15-2013, 11:54 PM

C7 VS M4.....Hmmmm......
Exterior goes to the M4

Interior goes to the C7 based on a 335i interior which it will look like except for some m badges...
I'm sorry but I am completely in love with the new interior of the C7. But of course since the M4 is German, the quality is better

Powerplant and Performance...TBD

Price....C7...This car is going to be expensive

My choice...I HAVE NO FRIKKEN IDEA...I like both and in a year I will be buying one of the 2
M4 vert or C7 vert or coupe
Again..just my opinion and speculating

Don't think I'll buy one though because the F3X interior is just too "cheap looking." I'm thinking M5 next.

Spot on.

Why!?!

+1

typical reply from a 2013 owner lol....you should of waited man this car blows the e92 miles away

solstice · 08-15-2013, 11:59 PM

Nice pictures Jason, I especially appreciate the detective work with pictures of the underbelly. Looks like it might have dual exhaust pipes much further than the F30 335i. It looks more like the N54 pipes even if we can't see if it has dual parallell cats as well or if the pipes comes together prior to the cat/s.

There also seems to be EDC cabling.

Did they run the car? I.e could you hear it running and revving?

blisstik · 08-16-2013, 12:00 AM

My next mod is to tint my windshield!

SukSqueezeBangBlo · 08-16-2013, 12:00 AM

Looks like the M3 will be coming soon also?

It looks nice, I really like the rear. The subtle duck tail works, i wish they painted the mufflers black like on the 2014 Jeep GC.
I also like how low it looks.

MrFargo13 · 08-16-2013, 12:03 AM

I think I could leave my wife for this car!

Beautiful!!

Unfortunately no

VTECaddict · 08-16-2013, 12:07 AM

I'm waiting to see the M3 (and M4 Gran Coupe). Overall it looks great, but the rear flared fender arches are too subtle due to the gradual taper throughout the whole quarter panel.

The M3 should have much more aggressive looking rear haunches with a more abrupt flare assuming they use the non-M F30 rear doors like they did for the E90M. M4 GC may or may not since it would have all new rear body panels from the F30/F32
