Pictures of Austin Yellow in natural lighting from Daytona

tommy94gt · 01-26-2014, 06:09 PM

Looks like they knocked off the Challenge trunk from the E92.

Dking078 · 01-26-2014, 06:25 PM

Even though the color in those photos is crazy off...It makes the M4 look like Ontario Gold... which aint half bad!

WWM3 · 01-26-2014, 06:28 PM

Looks good in these pics. More muscular.

JB3CK24 · 01-26-2014, 06:29 PM

Such a nasty color. BMW has to come out with more colors instead of this..

kenbrinkman · 01-26-2014, 06:30 PM

I have a few shots from last night from my iPhone. It was pretty tucked away and no where near the rest of the BMWs and BMW tent. Couldn't find the blue M3 though, just the M4.

This was during the 90 minute red flag. I was about 50 feet away from the crash, pretty scary stuff. Took a minute to realize what happened.

This was the Ferrari that got hit. Tough to take a picture with the sun behind, must've been even tougher to see at 100+ mph. Definitely was a major contributor to the crash.

cotmfk · 01-26-2014, 06:35 PM

That color looks like junk unless it is 100% clean, and then I still would order a different color.

R N M · 01-26-2014, 06:36 PM

This is a color that is nice to have 5 times a year.

Cant imagine having to look at it everyday!

cap_freez · 01-26-2014, 06:40 PM

actually the color in the ''off balanced pics'' looks better than the real one lol

Yay-Z · 01-26-2014, 06:55 PM

Looks really good, liking m4 more and more

shivaswrath · 01-26-2014, 07:21 PM

Those black rims are hideous...

Luminor513 · 01-26-2014, 07:22 PM

Color seems to have much more gold to it in natural light. Color def looks good on the car, just not sure I would pic this color for a daily driver.

Oaktree · 01-26-2014, 07:23 PM

Location Daytona Florida

The blue sedan didn't have any logos so I'm not sure what it was...

Reposting from the Houston link I responded to.
I'm posting because I wanted to tell any coupe owners that were thinking of swapping to 4 doors due to the M3s aggressive stance not to worry, the M4 looks great. I really questioned the stance and overall bruteness of the M4 but It looks wide, low and very mean. I think in a dark color it would be a pure menace on the road. The M3 also looks good but after seeing them I do not want a M3 anymore. I need to keep two doors.

riel_bmw · 01-26-2014, 07:24 PM

I need this car in my life! Love it! Thanks for the pics.

runthis · 01-26-2014, 07:36 PM

Looks good but need a drop baaaaad!

aajami · 01-26-2014, 07:50 PM

Guess it wasn't "for sure" gold after all

dhoggm3 · 01-26-2014, 07:55 PM

AY looked a lot more like gold in person than the horrible light green that it seemed to be in early photos.

Racer20 · 01-26-2014, 08:02 PM

Do we KNOW that all-black wheels won't be available in the US?

gonoyaro11 · 01-26-2014, 08:05 PM

looks like 435 m package lol

US///M3 · 01-26-2014, 08:22 PM

Not exactly a head turner like the E46 M3 when it came out.

zuggerat89 · 01-26-2014, 08:22 PM

Seeing the car in true daylight, set back, as you would in real life makes a huge difference! The M4 looks awesome, these pictures have totally changed my opinion of the car.

e85sbm · 01-26-2014, 08:34 PM

Looks a lot like Phoenix Yellow in some photos. Hopefully looks better in person

barcius13 · 01-26-2014, 08:38 PM

Hate the rims. Look very Honda Civicy for me
