When you glance at it, it does resemble the 3GT at the rear.

The head on views of the car make the LED headlights look like the standard halogen ones on the F30!!
Yeah I see what you mean.

Being as xenons are now going to be standard on 5 series, and 4 and 6 have xenons by default, any one reckon they'll become standard on F30 LCI?

Seems a shame to be able to only get LEDs on the less practical cars.

I don't think that the xenons will be standard on the F30 LCI (hope I'm wrong), but the LEDs will most probably be an optional upgrade.

Lets keep fingers crossed they do offer them.

Seems weird all the hate for ///M logos yet the obsessions with buying ///M Performance modifications in other threads which tend to be covered in ....... ///M logos.

Whoever said ///Meh Sport

The F30 had the same badges on the side on the release pictures, but all US spec ( I think UK spec as well) have them removed. I would imagine something similar will happen for the 4er.

I think there is nothing wrong with the ///M badges. Its only a problem when you start believing that for one reason or another you are driving a true M car. Heaven forbid you start racing the E9X M3. Then you will have truly lost it.

The ///M are part of the ///Mperformance line, that's all.

If I had a true ///M I would not worry about this at all

The side vent is for improved aerodynamics apparently... may be when going sideways.

Are there two tiers of the M-Sport package? Some of them have side skirts and some don't. All in all, I think the F30 M-Sport looks way more aggressive than the F-32 M-Sport.

I wish they kept the character lines that slop down to the center grille on the front bumper of the F30; that's one of the best parts of the M-Sport bumper!

From BMW uk website...

The Air Breathers are located behind the rear wheels to emphasise the sheer forward momentum of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé. Furthermore, together with the Aero Curtain integrated in the bumpers, which guides the airstream along the front wheel housing via two vertical inlets, they also provide an effective reduction of air resistance around the wheel housings by channelling the airstream past the front wheels. These innovative BMW EfficientDynamics measures reduce turbulence. The result is optimum aerodynamic figures which, in turn, improve the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

My opinion is different. I'm paying more for m-sports package. I like the fact that it shows that I paid for that. Of course its not real "m", but I did still paid more than the standard.

Nice to finally see the M Sport in a broader range of colours. The MG is coming up too dark in these pics though - it's definitely lighter irl.

I am keen to try something new but cannot help feeling that MG suits this car best, although the concept rocked in silver.

They all have a face that only their mother would live. What's with all the plastic? The rest of the car looks good though.
