BMW M4 pics leaked (update!)
BMW M4 'leaked' with more pics ahead of Monterey debut for supposed concept
We wait ages for a snippet of information on the BMW M4, then there are two in just a few days; following the short engine sound clip earlier this week, the first alleged image of the M3 replacement has now surfaced.
So what does it tell us? Well, the power dome of the outgoing M3 remains even though the V8 doesn't, as does the carbon roof. The front bumper is noticeably more aggressive than the standard 4 Series with the foglights deleted and a jutting black splitter is just visible too. The trademark M wing mirrors can also be seen. Overall, from the front, it's a typical M Division overhaul; aggressive and potent without being too ostentatious.
For now, that's all the new information we have. No more news on the straight-six turbocharged engine beyond general acceptance of a c. 450hp power output, or the rumours of a significant weight reduction. BMW is most definitely playing the long game on this one. It probably won't have a manual gearbox though...
The M4 Coupe Concept is likely to debut at The Quail motorsport event during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this week. That should finally reveal some concrete details on what promises to be a very exciting M car.
Also, the mirrors don't look quite right and there are no vents on the hood.
Best to wait for an official release before judging I think...
No road car needs a power bulge really but when they've incorporated them on both incarnations of the M3 since and including the E46, the car may look less-aggressive without one.

Time will tell.

There are no vents in the hood of the test cars either so they appear to have been dropped.
You are right though that is a render not a photo but that doesn't mean it's not from BMW.

But the partly disguised scoop photos above show what is likely to be a good looking M car

This is still my favourite fake:
No doubt moving from 3 to 4 will push the price up a bracket also. I'd expect base prices to move to starting with a 6 with 'specced with options for resale' nudging lots to start with a 7.
