The recent three BMW concepts 4er Coupe , X4 and Active Tourer are 90% the production cars but for these models we have to remove the fashion elements although the design outline if we take the intakes for example on all three cars, these are carried over to production. The fashion "jewellery" for example is not but there will be decorative trim to distinguish the model lines.

I seen the M-Sport Packet of the upcoming 1er Active Tourer in black with big wheels and that was more impressive than the Concept Car, at M studio they are working on the X4M which will show its kin-Ship with the M4 with its broader coke-bottle like broad hips which flare more than the wider hips seen on the Concept cars of the X4 and 4er Coupe. Even the 2er will feature this as does the 1er.

You need to see the 4er against the 3er to fully appreciate the differences.
But as the picture I posted from Geneva proves that the 4er is lower and wider than the more upright F30 and E92 for that matter. The original E92 was meant to be the original 4er until M4 brought alarms ringing from marketing. Today there is no such qualms.

If people are overly concerned about the LED headlights over everything else? Even though we will see an interpretation soon enough. Then perhaps the 4er will not be for you.

Scott, since I have you attention... Can we get an update on the Z Range. Specifically the rumored RWD Z3 (previously known as the Z2). Basically I want to know its still in the pipeline.

Since there all this buzz about how 4 is supposedly a different car, and upscale etc. Is there any plan to offer individual colors like presently available on 5er in US? Would be nice to see some Azurite Blacks and Onyx Blue type colors on 4er grancoupe. I am impatiently waiting for the car to be released in some sort of concept form.
