Arrow F80 M3 / F82 M4 Spy Photos, Videos, and Facts/Rumors Compilation

Expected to hit the market in 2014, the F80 M3 has been conducting road testing since the summer of 2011. Here is the most up to date facts known about the F80 M3 (as of February 2013):
  • Lighter than current M3
    • targeting E46 M3 weight (source)
  • More powerful than current M3
    • approximately same HP (confirmation?), but around 100 lb-ft more torque (in range of 395 lb-ft) (source)
  • Faster than current M3
  • More efficient than current M3
  • Powered by "S55" inline 6 cylinder multi turbo engine (source, source, source)
  • Nearly 8000 RPM redline (told to us by high-ranking BMW M Official intimately involved in BMW M3/M4 development - source)
  • DCT and manual transmission options
  • Optional M Carbon Ceramic Brakes
  • Rumored Electric Power Steering (completely reworked for precision for M3/M4)
  • Prototype Tires (from prototype) - Michelin Pilot Super Sport: 255/35/19 (front), 275/35/19 (rear)
  • Front styling to feature elements from the M6 and 1M coupe, with Air Curtain technology
  • Hood features power bump / dome
  • Kidney grilles feature double-slats with M3/M4 badge
  • Carbon fiber front seats
  • Both F80 M3 and F82 M4 will feature double-bubble sculpted carbon fiber roof (like M6 Coupe) with optional sunroof and carbon fiber trunk
  • M4 features CSL-style trunk
  • Concept M4 Coupe debuted at Pebble Beach Concours in August 2013 (see our coverage)
  • Production M3 and M4 will be introduced together at Detroit Auto Show 2014
  • Ordering for M3/M4 begins in January-February 2014
  • Production of M3/M4 begins sometime in March-May window
  • Regularly delivery and European Delivery begins late Spring - Summer 2014
  • Pricing: BMW is trying its best to hold pricing close to the outgoing M3, albeit with adjustments made to reflect additional standard equipment that the F80 M3 and F82 M4 will come with. No promises here though.

Stay tuned for more information on the F80 M3 sedan and keep track of our ongoing coverage: http://www.bimmerpost.com/m3/f30m3/

Closest Look Yet at the BMW M4 Coupe. Now Testing M Carbon Ceramic Brakes - March 13, 2013


We have spied the F82 M4 coupe again and here is the most revealing look yet. With the great look that we have here, here's a list of notable elements that we see.

• Double slatted kidney grilles
• M4 badge on kidney grilles (a la M6) (currently covered)
• LED headlights
• LED tail lights
• Carbon ceramic brakes (optional) being tested in signature gold color (just as on F80 M3 prototype)
• Hood power dome/bulge
• Sculpted double-bubble carbon fiber roof (like M6 Coupe)
• Production side mirrors (still under camouflage)
• Integrated trunk spoiler
• Wide fenders
• Slanted exhaust tips
• Production sideskirts
• Wearing Continental ContiSportContact tires - 275/35 rear (like F80 M3)
• Gap in front fender for air breather vent? Location is too high to be the same 'boomerang' vent seen on the 3 Series GT and 4 Series Coupe prototypes, but it could take another form on the M4.
• Rear bumper design more clearly seen through camouflage now, which appears to have an aggressive squared-off design at the edges - a bit like the the F30 M Sport rear bumper.

• Double slatted kidney grilles.
• LED headlights
• LED tail lights
• Sculpted double-bubble carbon fiber roof (a la M6 Coupe)
• Production side mirrors (but still under camouflage)
• Integrated trunk spoiler
• Deliciously wide rear stance

BMW cannot go wrong with this car.
Even the stock F30 is looking good.
