Luxury line looks better than I thought it would and the E46 looks very small compared to F32.

Thanks for posting the pics!

M.Suka · 07-22-2013, 11:38 PM

I love the e46 m3 body but the M4 will be on another level.

bmrm396 · 07-22-2013, 11:55 PM

man this makes me want my e46 back ... haha

Powaup · 07-23-2013, 12:08 AM

That's not fair E46 m3 is one of the best looking cars out there lol at least IMO would be better if the 4 had the m-sport package. Thanks for the pics modern line looks nice

F32 · 07-23-2013, 12:14 AM

You're comparing a bone stock non-M car without even the M sports package to a lowered, modified M3. Cool story, bro.

This is a better comparison...

BKap08 · 07-23-2013, 02:10 AM

considering the e46 m3 is the most beautiful car bmw has made(purely my opinion) the 4 series cant hold a candle to it

wrickem · 07-23-2013, 06:59 AM

To me, it makes the e46 look prehistoric.

I couldn't agree more. The 4 looks VERY refined... really happy with how it looks with the lux line actually.

wdeerfield · 07-23-2013, 08:52 AM

dear god. a chrome autozone boomerang on the side for the luxury line?

the e46 will always look good. to me the f32 looks overdone next to the m. seemst o be trying to hard.

ZheHbKa · 07-23-2013, 08:57 AM

glad to see US version is getting LED's, even though its not on configurator yet

Agreed

williewonkerz · 07-23-2013, 08:59 AM

I think it looks meaner with the exception of that horrid side vent thing, barf

bimmer · 07-23-2013, 09:05 AM

old m3 got so much better looking front than regular 4. they should not sell new 4 without msport period. people complained about bangle designs but what about this front style? definition of ugliness!

BMWRL · 07-23-2013, 09:13 AM

That rear end view on the 4, from the doors back, is just pure sex! I'll say it again, the 4GC/M4GC will be the sexiest iteration of the new 4 series line.

StevenY. · 07-23-2013, 09:18 AM

12 years later and the e46 m3 is still sexy. The f32 is pretty nice but like someone said above, the side vent looks like something from autozone.

crex · 07-23-2013, 09:25 AM

I like the size and looks of the e46 better. I think bmw's are getting too big ad heavy. I guess that is why I dive a 1 series. lol

Transfer · 07-23-2013, 09:34 AM

A barge with a chrome bimmerang. ha

The 2 series can't arrive fast enough.

MCHL · 07-23-2013, 09:35 AM

LED taillights on E46, but not on the new 4-er... shame

NelsonLee · 07-23-2013, 09:41 AM

E46 FTW

GOLFFRR · 07-23-2013, 09:44 AM

the new 4 series is a great looking car. Love the lines.

nvk · 07-23-2013, 09:46 AM

e46 wins for me!
