lighting has to do a lot with it, as you can see its raining so no sun light at all...color looks great!!!

I detest that color, and the front of the quarter panel right behind the rear door will require either constant repainting or clear mask, but other than that I love it. It's going to be a bitchin' ride.

The good news is that if you don't like it you can buy an e90 or an e46. Both great cars, and many people like myself like keeping a car for a long time and get satisfaction out of maintaining and modifying a car over many years and miles.

Funny...I feel the opposite (..minus the strong verbiage). Everything up to the rear quarter panels looks good to me. I think the ENTIRE sedan looks good, but I'm not a fan of the front bumper on the upcoming ///M cars. Fortunately it's not a deal breaker.

why ugly muffler again bmw?

Saw a 428i on the road today and without the M-sport aero kit, it truly does look like s--t. The E92 pre-LCI was so good then BMW goofed up with the LCI and the base 4-Series bumper is even worse.

I still don't understand this...it would be nice to hear the exact explanation as to why the good line cuts across the hood, rather than in front of it. I'm sure I missed a post/article. Doesn't Audi have to conform to the same requirements as BMW? But somehow they managed the design right, at least on the A4.

RoboM · 11-06-2013, 07:55 PM

That hood line looks pretty thinner than the M4 concept.

Bokke · 11-06-2013, 08:03 PM

SO FTW!!! My M4 will be SO!!

Mako · 11-06-2013, 08:04 PM

is it just me or does the side shot make it look like that car also has sakhir orange seats? you can see the trim just behind his head before the black of the back of the seat...

Jadar · 11-06-2013, 08:14 PM

Looks so muscular I like it.

khanyam4 · 11-06-2013, 08:38 PM

Can't wait to see the return of the king

parky1215 · 11-06-2013, 08:44 PM

This color isn't as attractive as ymb or ay to me.

Sakhir is ok but not a true red replacement.

My .02

Agreed. Not too crazy about this color. Anytime I see an Imola E46 or Melbourne E92 in the sun I begin to drool. Too much burnt orange in shakir IMO.

No true red in the M5/6 line either, a bit surprising. But not as shocking as no blue alternative to YMB, baby blue isn't for everyone...

I think it looks better than it does on the m6.

basscadet · 11-06-2013, 09:46 PM

Wow, the coupes are just downright wimpy looking. Very soft and feminine. Is there any doubt the sedan looks 10x better?

And this orange color is just terrible. Where is Hellrot Red, BMW?

Mineral Gray is looking to be the only viable choice for the F80.

The Color of LAVA!

There's definitely something up with that trim, isn't there? There is a Sakhir Orange interior offered in the dealer guide, but the inside of that car is most definitely black. It's probably a tarp that's covering the interior, but that orange/rid trim around the seatback and under the nav is interesting.

Once the camo comes off the M4 will look more aggressive. The sedan definitely looks muscular even in camo.

It definitely has an athletic look to it.
