Beautiful car. Goofy tilted photographs spoil it.

I never heard of "azurite" so I looked it up. It looks exactly like Estoril (smurfy) blue. Back on topic. The 4 coupe looks awesome, especially in Estoril. |

The 435 looks great. But right now it's just a new body style with the same old engine and that's not enough to get me too upgrade from my 135i when the warranty is up.

Thanks for sharing, definitely worth looking at the M4 when it launches next year. #1 question is if the turbo engine justifies its M badge, the S65 established a standard that will be hard to match.

Also still not feeling the wheels. Lacks depth that precious gen had. It looks so flat now.

Every time I look at it. It is upsetting because of what it could have been. It is nothing like the concept 4 series they showed.

Glad so many of you are pleased to see the pics.
For the few who don't like the angles - I'm afraid it was the only way to fit as much of the car into the shot as possible. There wasn't much room to get around it and I only had my fixed focal length iPhone to grab the pictures with - better than nothing though eh!?! I'm afraid those are the only pictures I had time to grab - wife was stood just out of shot, arms folded, rolling her eyes lol

Great work snapping this car and getting it posted here - doesn't look like anyone else at Goodwood managed to do that for us, so thank you
So relieved at the impact the M Sport kit has on this car - looks so much better than the std version. I'm sold. What were your overall impressions of the car? Was there anyone on-hand from BMW to talk about it? |

Car looks beautiful... thank you!
BMW spends such a great deal of time designing, strictly designing the exterior. Who the hell allowed for that ridiculous looking embarrassment sitting behind the front wheels to make it into production? I feel as though we need an explanation for it's necessity (not functionality), awkwardly shaped location, and color...I mean...that is just |

PrinceBarin, cheers dude. Yeah overall impressions were very good. It has very nice proportions, looks fatter and more squat than the E92.
I only sat in there for a couple of minutes but it felt like a nice place to be. Nice finish to parts and seating position is what I would expect - nice and low with driver orientated controls. The rear consol doesn't look as good as it does in the current E92 i.e. it doesn't meet and continue through the rear seat and the storage tray is more like that out of the E82. So a bit of cost cutting there IMO. I assume the dash is the same as the F30 so nothing to add there, although I do agree with the comments that it does look a bit 1 series - I'm really not that keen on the 'its a tablet stuck in a dash' design that they're doing for the nav screen but I guess it could grow on me. Would I order one? Yes, but until I see pricing I'm not sure if it will be out of my company car range with any decent level of spec... time will tell.
