Is that the production interior? Besides the location of the Navi, it looks EXACTLY the same as my 08 M3, which is starting to look really dated!!!

It is a base model 435i interior. If your e9x M3 interior looks like that, I believe you have a south of the boarder special edition model that no one else on the planet has.

I have to agree with a majority of these posts. Everything on here looks so similar to my e92 with very minor details added\lost. After months of camo i'm so dissapointed that this car is virtually no different than f30+e92. Can anyone spot the difference between the f30 and f32 besides the obvious loss of two doors, one seat, and different roofline and lights? Anyway i guess i'll reserve my judgements until i see the thing in person, but for now il call it 2nd e92 lci

..I really feel the 4-series coupe' design has suffered in the name of hte 4-series GranCoupe'.... I can't help but see this as a truncated GranCoupe and not a standalone car of coupe' independence.. if nothing the feel of uniqueness.. hopefully my opinion will change in the right configuration. I was like a hawk back in the onset of the E92 and pre-ordered one that I still drive now. Even then there were quite underwhelming configurations of he E92 that made it look bland and boring... ill gamble this will be the same

I know this, because I picked up a 2013 Mercedes E350 4matic coupe, and the MSRP was almost $66k. I know they are COMPLETELY different animals, and I'm a Bimmer lover at heart, but the interior of the F32 isn't doing anything for me. When the E92 came out, I was drooling. It felt vastly different from the E46 coupe I was trading in. The backseat had wood in the console, footwell lighting, small touches that made the car feel comparatively upscale. Here, I notice that the footwell lighting is gone, the console in the rear is missing any wood or aluminum trim, and the seat cushions look flat. This car, at least in N55 form, is going to be $60k once reasonably equipped, and for that price, I can be in a 5 series. While the Benz isn't a Bimmer, the materials used in the car are a cut above; the door jambs are trimmed in chrome. Oh, and there is zero possibility I'll pay $1900 for full-led lights with incandescent turn signals in the rear.

Gotta say, really not a fan of that roof line. really ackward. would work ok on the Grand Coupe style of car, but otherwise looks a little too short. Fastback rather than coupe. It's missing those nice proportions of long bonnet, bit shorter roof and bit shorter trunk. this is just long bonnet, roof going into VERY short trunk. May be in metal looks nicer. What bugs me is that the coupe concept didn't seem to leave that same impression.... wonder why.

I park my Bangle Z4 Coupe to cars on the street and think the thing looks damn fresh even after a decade. Bangle was right, I always liked his cars.

Been saying it for a long time now. Bangle was ahead of his time.

Well, there have never been a nicer concept then the 4 coupe.
Now, theyr showing us this, is a big gap between what we initially saw, and this safe bet the 4 have become.
I'm really dissapointed in these first pics, as i was with the F15, that one have grown on me, not so sure this will.
The sole purpose of it, with the 2 and 6, it's just not justified, at least not looking like these, what a shame imo!

while I like the f10 design and the f30 as well I'm not moved a bit by this car.
I agree Bangle was ahead of his time and his cars look good even now.
I would say this car will look a lot better with a good set of wheels instead of these pcs. of crap, also the Msport will make it stand out and come to think of it, trick the car out a bit and I really believe you'll have a good looking car.
As it stands out at this moment looking at these pics I will say that the e92 looks better.

The last time I saw this much disappointment from the community was when the butt ugly 1 series hatch came out. It's been out for a while and people still don't like it. It would really suck for BMW if the US market feels that way when this 4 comes out.


I will have a chance to see this car in person next Tuesday when they bring one to our dealership for show and tell and product knowledge. I'll take pix and post a review of what I thought.

Get over yourself. He/she can like it even if you dont. And if you dont, I doubt bmw will cry since there are plenty of asses that will fill this car's driver's seat.

IMO, I think it looks better than the E92. But E46 still rules E90/92 and F30/32.

navy blue always looks awful to me without a chrome trim.
There's an imperial blue f30 in front of my house and it looks so bland it could be a 1995 volvo.

That being said it doesnt look very good...

Msport is a must i guess.

On the profile (side-view) I think it looks like the greenhouse is really too long in the rear...and the long rear overhang...meh. To my eye, it doesn't look very sporty...kinda chickish...like a 2005 Toyota Solara...

Looks like xi ride height, to me. Maybe I missed that part of the OP or subsequent posts.

I agree, the side vent looks like a cheap glued-on item...

Still, I'm sure the F80 M4 will be the sh!t.

By the way, do we know if the F32 will have the LED ambient interior lighting like the new X5? I mean, it should...my wife's new Ford Escape has it...

No LED brake or turn signals rear? Incredibly disappointing that E92 LCI looks more modern.
