Awful colour, but of the non m-sport lines I think it's the best fron bumper treatment. Needs to be a darker colour probably.

Thanks! It's absolutely the best non m-sport bumper!
The sport line bumper looks so empty and the luxury line is hardly different to that.

I saw it in person as well, looked pretty good, I think will be even e better with the M - kit. Too bad I brought my camera out too late, they were already running away.

Needs less Chrome and more paint matching. Way too much chrome between the kidney grill and headlight.

Black stuff at the bottom of front bumper would look better painted to match the body.

Either way, these are minor cosmetic things. Overall I like it. M4 is gonna be nuts.

I suppose they had the cart before the horse when they were toying with the idea of creating a separate moniker for the coupe. However, now that they've created it, the visual differences between the two hark back to the subtle differences of E46 yesteryear.

Exactly my thoughts. Not that you may care, I wrote a bit here in Post #17

iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, that's where the 3 and 4 series evolution seems to me.

First thing I'd do is debagde it. Just doesn't look right with the 4 on the back.

[onehungevo]

I like it but prefer the smaller 2

Real world pics definitely look better.... I'm thinking this car is going to look sick in BSM.

Yup, agree with you 100%. It'll be a shame if those awesome concept headlights/taillights go to waste. I hope they at least get used on the M4 with those sideskirts and elements of the front and rear bumpers .

Why does BMW insist that placing a tablet onto a dock and calling it a screen looks good? Building it into the dash such as the E92 takes a bit more time but looks so much better. That design destroys the car for me. Good looking car but that just seems like such an afterthought.

[mdosu]

alright, I'm going to say it. What's the big deal? These cars are going to be the 2nd most common BMW sold in the next 4 years. It's essential the 3-series coupe of the old days named the 4-series. So who cares, it looks just like a molded F30 front with a E92 back.

Starting to get the feeling the M4 will be pretty amazing...

The M4 is going to be outrageous!

Heyo, like 4 of my pictures featured! Apologies for the quality, taken with a lowly iPhone 4S. Didnt know people would actually be looking at these...

Hopefully some parts of the concept go somewhere.

One of the miseries of the Auto Industry is that a lot of concept designs which are extremely cool, usually never make it to production cars.

I feel those headlights/taillights should not add significant cost to the car, and perhaps will show up at least on the M4.
X4 concept shares similar design elements in headlight, but pretty sure it will look like the X3 headlights once released for production.

Here is hoping, that the design teams are more thoughtful. Rethink and Innovate the interiors in the least

I hate how the competition is driving the cost and perhaps compromising the elegant and unique design elements which may be too bold or too expensive to put on a car when pitched against Audi and Merc.

As an after thought, MB have brought about some newer (out of the box) headlight designs lately, atleast the DRLs, with the CLS and E-Class.

Need an explanation from BMW about those new design of Wheels. What are those, flowing lines and elegance? Perhaps inspired by the badly bent water wheel or blades of a windmill?

The car just won't grow on me :-/

[Amini77]

Looks great! But anyone who has these needs to get the msport package.

[Longwong]

Wow shocking. Looks as bad as the other photos we have seen. Looks like a freakin 3 series GT. Has too big of a hump or something. Not streamline looking. Gosh the e92 looked so much better atleast the m3 form. I know this is not an m4 but look at the lines of a nice e92 coupe and how much more flowing they are

[Transfer]

That lower part of front bumper has got to be the worst design I've ever seen. Just terrible. The rest of the car looks excellent but that front bumper just kills it all.

This car seriously had so much potential, and leaves much to be desired.

There are a lot of design aspects that I literally HATE. Both front and rear bumpers are hideous. The E9x's had clean rear bumpers, with no random lines or reflectors breaking it up, and even had some cool carving and sculpted parts. The front bumper on the F32 is a joke, even in msport fashion.

The mirrors I absolutely CAN NOT STAND. Talk about a mercedes rip off and not executed nearly as well. Interior to me is mehhh.. And the tail light shape is just weird IMO.

The only things I like are the more sloped roofline into the trunk, and the rear fender body creases.. that's it.

M4 has a lot of work to do

it is really interesting to see how different the posts in this topic are opposed to the ones of the midnight blue F32; the inconsistency is remarkable
