RE: BMW 4 Series - official

[ryanthescot]

wtf is going on at the back? it looks broken.

[Coolbanana]

Like it. A lot. I had the 335i Coupe a couple of years ago, excellent car and this 4-series looks to be even better.

A very beautiful car! However, I'm not sure I like the new shape of the angel eyes. In my opinion, they were the one aspect of design that was unique to the Bavarians, it looks a bit like the led lights that Audi use, may just be be though lol.

But a beautiful car otherwise, shame the iconic M3 will now only be a saloon...sigh

[fathomfive]

The interior design doesn't do much for me.

[Twoshoe]

I think it looks great apart from the vents behind the front wheels. They just don't look right (imho of course).

Really, does this matter even a tiny bit? I managed to quite like the Ferrari 430 when it was renamed the 458 on its replacement. I think I will like or dislike the M Division version of this coupe regardless of the boot badge if they call it the M4. I really will. Honest.

But seriously ... it's the best looking BMW since the E46 M3

That's a serious compliment.

I like how they left the cupcake wrappers in the cupcake holders.

The cup holders do look particularly low rent - however what the yanks want we all get!!!!

Big improvement over the old one in terms of looks.

Not keen on the idea of 8cm wider than the E92 though - that felt uncomfortably wide to me.

It isn't 8cm wider than an E92 - that would be perverse! However it is wider (around 4cm), which is still annoying - I'd have preferred a narrower car for our narrow roads, having said that the wider track is likely to have a positive effect on handling and it's still not too wide to enjoy on the road (like an Aventador would be for example).

I think you may be missing the point of my comment, it may not matter to you and that's your respect opinion. I'm just particularly dissapointed that the the E30 M3 originated as a coupe and now the M3 will now only be a saloon - they can call this whatever they like, but in my opinion, they should have kept it as a coupe.

Let's not go off topic though...it's a beautiful car!

They've lost the plot-Big Fat Ugly German seeks more money from punters, just had expensive cosmetic surgery, from industrial experts. Now bigger wider, dearer oh and german character, all brown inside like grannies sofa, revisit your childhood NOW only 20% dearer (figures supplied by FSA)

but the 430 wasn't a name which has been around for over 20 years. it was 1 model.

i'm amazed they've called it a 4 series, i really, really am. i'd be more amazed if the M3 name will be restricted to the saloon only.

The PH article says 8cm wider rear track; surely that's the widest point on the car except for the wing mirrors, isn't it?

Big Fat Ugly German seeks buyers with more money than sense. Just had expensive cosmetic surgery with botox plumped up rear end fit for rumpy pumpy, lower rear end has new messi look, lots of brown leather, from grannies sofa to charm you and is for very wide roads and boys. Buy one soon in your neighbourhood next to the sofa shop liebling.

[Si_man306]

In the main image the line running across the door to the rear boot looks very hyundai coupe?

Nice over all though. Doesn't really matter what it looks like anyway, all the BMW fans will just suck up whatever is thrown at them

And for more than half of those 20 odd years BMW have been debating at a very senior level the merits of branding the coupe version of the 3 series saloon a 4 series.

Personally I'm amazed evidence points to so much conservatism over all those years (and into today).

I expect both of us will need to get used to further amazement.

[s2000db]

I presume that calling it a '4 Series' means that they'll be able to charge a bit more than if it was 'just' a 3 series coupe..

Btw it's very nice!
