If only the wheel arch gaps would actually be that small on the production version...

I can hide a small child in mine.

Current cars are soo big, you need cartoon-sized wheels to avoid massively underwheeling them.

Saw a poster of the new golf here:



The wheels on it looked ridiculously large. And that's not a GTI, no that's a "TSI Bluemotion".

Like 21" large. Considering it's a car that even now is mostly delivered with 16" wheels, it's just

Stupid, stupid, stupid. calling it a "4", perhaps they don't want to sell it in China, but numbers are a big deal there. 8 means "luck or fortune", "6" means "money" and "4" means "death".

Would you buy a "BMW Death series". I's not a Harley.

It would hardly be impossible to change the name for a different market - plenty of manufacturers do it.

Yes, e.g. Alfa Romeo sold the 164 as the 168 there iirc

Can you actually buy them? Was talking with a couple of fellow BMW enthusiasts a little while and one of them said he actually tried to acquire some but couldn't because they were all owned by people who wouldn't let them go.

Where/how do you buy them?

Maybe email [e-mail]. He'll sort you out if asked nicely.

[BadBanshee]

Even bigger? Tut tut. Could pass as a new 6 series.

Thanks mate, maybe I will, but not until long after new year.

But you should remove that e-mail (edit your post) because I'm afraid some spamming system will catch it up and start spamming it...

BMW 4 series

Length: 182.7 inches
Width: 71.9 inches

Ford Focus Hatchback

Length 171.6 in
Width: 71.8 in

If you find the 4 series too wide than you seriously need to reconsider your driving license

Looks pretty slick to me.

Gorgeous.

It is nice but it's just an amalgamation of all the current models into a new sized coupe! Nothing more, nothing less.

You mean like all previous BMW's for the last 30-40 years?

Lol you could maybe argue that but things like the 6 series, Z4 and other have been let's say innovative at least as far as the likes of BMW and Audi go. This to me is nice as I said but it has looks of the current F10 M5, the E92 M3 and Coupe, the M6 etc...Why not come up with a completely fresh design?
