Incredible! Really makes the e92 M3 look dated, i will buy one Moonstone for me though!

Only complaint i have is the damn lights, they really needed to make a fuss about the M4, for us its a big change and maybe those lights on the 4 series concept would have really made it look special!

Looks amazing!!

Is it just me or are the rear fenders not wider than the standard car?

The side vents look 100% better than the regular 4 series coupe.

This in AW will look amazing but I am hoping for some jelly bean colors too like Dakar Yellow or LSB.

Are we already heading towards white being the most popular color for the F82 also?

That M4 badge just doesn't seem right. Can't believe they went with the 4 series title.

Wow, better than I expected.

However, side skirts should be more pronounced... it lacks character.

Don't think I'll buy one though because the F3X interior is just too "cheap looking." I'm thinking M5 next.

It could be that the styling in a M-sport 4 series has been maxed out...not sure I need a side by side comparison. Can somebody photochop?
To me it looks not at all similar to the 4-series styling. It's much more aggressive and purposeful, as seen in post #108 with the comparo

Very nice indeed! Not sure about the power dome, would have to see in real life. Would like it to be a little more subtle, but loving the carbon fibre.

What I distill from this is that, at least with regards to aesthetics, BMW M listened to its enthusiast segments, and actually delivered.
  • Huge flared quarter panel/wheel arches - we've been clamoring for this for years
  • A focus on delivering color once again -as in the days of the e36 (estoril blue, techno violet, dakar yellow, hellrot red).
  • Carbon Front Lip
  • CF Rear Diffuser
  • CF Exhuast
  • CF Roof

To BMW's credit, the M4 hits a lot of major enthusiast marks - in spite of our growing fears (including mine) that BMW M has abandoned its enthusiast philosophy and roots. I'm happy to see that BMW has corrected its course on this one. The M4 was a pivotal moment for them. It could have gone either direction - a descent into the boilerplate world of Mercedes AMG, or a re-emergence of the enthusiast philosophy that embodied the e30 M3.

Aesthetically, I'm highly impressed with the M4 concept. We've all had (and have) our concerns about the sea-change in M philosophy that left behind natural aspiration for forced induction. I still have major reservations about that... But am somewhat reassured by BMW's strong aesthetic showing here, that maybe the engine might come out a winner too. Maybe their focus on the enthusiast will carry over to their engine work. I reserve judgment for those stats.

For me, the jury is still out. Even with the strongest aesthetic showing, a failure to capture enthusiasts in the engine and performance department might be the final straw and exodus for long time M enthusiasts like all of us.

Here is the information i look forward to knowing :
  • engine performance figures - 0-60, 0-100, etc.
  • transmission details
  • total weight
  • base price and whether all the aesthetic items we see on the concept will be standard or will be optional "M-sport" add ons (for more money)
  • fuel consumption (not that I care that much)
  • colors offered
  • I want to see MORE PICTURES of the Rear Trunk !


For now, I'm thrilled with this Concept debut. It looks gorgeous. And I'm hopeful that their engine showing matches the genius of their design showing. Beautiful.

The side scoop look so much better on this vs the reg 4 series. Its inline with the line that goes down the body instead of just floating.

Negative. For the E92, AW = 27.7% of total NA production, followed by JB at 13.4% (SSII was only 6%.) For the E90 JzB was top, followed closely by AW.

I believe that's what they did with the E92 concept. It had E46 ZCP wheels when they concept came out.
