Looks great. Can't really say a bad word about it... the hood is a little busy and that color isn't for me... and I usually like the 4dr version better when available (stupid e46! ).
Definitely a winner. "Looks" heavy if this thing is a hundred pounds lighter than the e92 M3 this will be a real win. Great job. The development of these cars keeps me checking e90post every day!!

everything is looking good from my opinion except two things:
- M4 hips don't look wide enough. they just dont look aggressive. the 1M has more aggressive hips IMO. I would personally prefer the upcoming M3 hips in comparison. this is what i call Hips .... - the wheels are not as concave as they should be. having concave wheels give more width and stance for the car. these look quite flat. aftermarket would solve this issue though

I am confident the car will look much better in person. I'm a bit luke warm on the car overall. Some thoughts:

Weight - I really hope they were able to make significant gains here, and get down to E46 M3 levels My biggest worry is the intangibles... Steering feel Handling precision Engine/exhaust noise If you read any review of past M3s, it's these things that really put this car in a class by itself. I have faith in the M engineers that they're up to the task, but corporate and governmental restrictions are always making their jobs harder. Looking forward to the first drives & tests. |

they are actually pretty obvious if you look at the headlights.... you'll see on the M the bodywork extends out past the headlights so the lights are almost set back in the bodywork.

Sure it will, that is a given, but that is not the car that is needs to compete against for sales. Many lower priced American cars (yes with a bit less luxury, fit and quality) will probably be faster in most contests. It is also getting closer and closer to competing against the 911, both officially and unofficially. It will have to be better than the next gen AMG and S/RS cars as well.

The black M4 testmule in the spy photos on this site seems to have wider fender flares in the back.
Wide fender flares are nice. Last edited by Holset; 08-15-2013 at 05:49 PM.. |

Nice...but very little flare and the rear bumper looks just like the m performance one for the 435i. Even the front does!

I'll guess we'll see the M4 in the DTM next year though History isn't just about what happened 10-20-30 years ago, it's being made every day... BMW M has motorsport history. Some models, like the M5, have never been a big motorsport participant. The M4 is a new model. The 1M was a new model. I applaud innovation and progress BTW. I used the wrong wording re the rear wheel arches. It's not obvious that they are wider They might be, and certainly looks that way from certain angles. But far from as obvious as I thought |
