Man the E92 M3 sounds so much better even with the exhaust in OEM configuration. Also the intake roar is missing from these cars due to the turbos.
Please don't call it an M4 BMW, why would you do this? This is an M4

Totally agree. Very weak that exhaust note is, IMO.

I'm sure the new M3/M4 will be a hit, but I'm so liking my E92 right now it will have to be a huge hit for me to trade up!

Although I suspect it'll look better once I see it in person.

I'm a sucker for the I-6, I really like it. I'm sure they'll fine tune the exhaust to make it more aggressive tho.
Personally, I wish BMW ///M wouldn't use FI in their pride and joy (the M3) but it'll certainly be something very impressive regardless. Just wish we all didn't have to wait so long... |

OK, found some numbers to justify my theory that this new (M) coupe just looks too long.
If we assume the F32/F82 share the same wheelbase as the F30, it would have a wheelbase of 2810mm, i.e. 110.6". The E90/90 has a wheelbase of 108.7", and the E63 6er had a wheelbase of 109.5"! So the new coupe will likely have a full inch longer wheel base than the big old 650i. That is crazy. No wonder it seems so big and looks like a 6-series going around the track. I'm sure it will be a good looking car, but I don't think I want a coupe much bigger than my E92. |

Uhm because BMW wants to use even numbers for coupes and odd numbers for sedans (i.e. 5 series sedan / 6 series coupe)

Yes but they are throwing away over 20 years of heritage of the M3 and name familiarity. People have never heard of a BMW M4...sacrilege.

He was saying DCT only for the new ISF. But yes you are correct they did say that the M3/4 would always have a manual option

Of all the reasons that prompted BMW to change to FI, the one that I could care less about is mpg... I'm willing to pay to play... It's one thing if they had found a way to make the S65 more efficient instead of dropping the current powertrain altogether in favor of a new configuration.
No doubt in my mind that the M engineers will deliver a great car but I would love to have seen more research and new technology applied to the V8.... My 2c

I like everything except for the M3/M4 bid ... what's this all about ... ???
The first M3 was interduced in the 1986 model year E30 3-Series. With the excelent history the M3 made over the past 27 years and all the fine work the ///M Devision put into this car, why would anyone in there right mind now call it a M4 ??? (I realize it's only for the coupe) I like the coupe and I guess my e92 will be my very last M3. M4 what is that ??? some of us do know it is excactly this as shown below. In 1994 the US miletary officially accepted the XM4 into service as the M4 carbine gun. Let's keep the M3 badge for the coupe whatever you do please.
