What?

HOLY SH!T!!!!!! This is like when I saw the E46 for the first time. I was over ///M's until I saw this beautiful creature. I guess I might hold off on the Tesla S. This thing is great.

"BMW unveils new M4 performance sedan"

Anyway, this thing is outrageous, I can't see the production model being any different from this "Concept", it's nothing like the Concept 4-Series was... this one has production style mirrors, door handles, headlights...

One thing I can see them changing for production is the exhaust tips, those just looks too insane for an OEM application, in a good way though, I'd actually love to see all this go into production.

One thing Im puzzled about is the deal with the body codes, why is this F80, and the 4-Series is F32?

I'm with you on this. I absolutely hate the profile hood pic of the new 3/4 series.

I'd be okay if BMW said they're taking this car in a new direction, but to couch in a 'Motorsport' history that is non existent for this car is kind of silly IMO.

All it is, is a M3 coupe with a different name, so it does have "Motorsports History" behind it...as this continues the lineage of the M3 coupe, except they did a legal name change...Muhammad Ali was still Cassius Clay.
Besides, anything from M has Motorsports history behind it. That's like saying the S1000RR doesn't have racing heritage behind it...the bike itself doesn't, but bikes before it have.

I want real photos! This still looks very processed and "render" like (possibly why people think there are no apparent fender flares compared to the 4).

[solstice]

I hope this isn't all we are getting today? The pictures sure are nice but isn't there going to be some technical info as well? Jason, Scott is this it for today?

I actually have zero doubt about this either. It will have a better power to weight ratio, improved suspension and wider and perhaps stickier tires, the first detail being the most important.

Now a thrilling experience due to a high redline and wonderful sound is much less certain (and certainly those will be inferior, unfortunately).

the guys who bought the 2012's, 2013's will get out of their leases or financing just in time for the LCI M4

[M3sicko]

Is it just me? i am not yet feeling it for some reasons. Oh well, i guess i need some real pictures first and after all, the specs!

[blueridger]

After it's available I will decide whether or not the M4 will replace my e92 M3. Until then it's just another set of pretty pictures on the Internet.

[Imcfarlane5]

I love my M3 what are the collective thoughts on the M4 vs the M3

[greekcs]

It's strange seeing the red reflectors in the rear bumper. This is usually something reserved for the lower models.

I will be the first to admit that its easy to "throw stones" once a new M is announced. In the end the new car is a, on paper, measurable improvement over all previous generations. That being said, this is a digital M3 when all previous generations were mostly analogue. I miss NA motors in these cars and I am sad to see them go. I will also miss simplicity... These new generation of Ms are very complex and thus you have to question the longevity, read reliability, of this platform.

F10 M5 & F12/3 M6's have those reflectors as well. Pretty sure its reserved for all the F-Chassis vehicles.

I agree that it would be a step backwards, but it won't have LED turn signals in the rear. The E46 LCI had LED rears and then they were pulled for the E92 debut. Same thing is happening here: E92 LCI has LCD rears, and they're being pulled for the F32/82.

[DGod]

It kinda annoys me that my F10 M5 has floating calipers on the rear brakes when even the new M3 has 4-pots...
Car looks sweet, but as it happened to the E9x I think the sedan will look better, these coupes are too sleek, can't match the stance of the E46.
Can't wait for the engine specs!

[CaptChaos]

I like what I see. How close the concept is to production remains to be seen.
