i was hoping it would create its own segment, and slot in above an A5/C350/e92, but below a 6 series. i mean the name "4 series" would suggest that, wouldnt it? However it turns out that this thing is nothing more than an entry level coupe.

some might say, "so get a 6 then" ..but i happen to like the looks of this much better and think it makes the 6 even look a bit dated. ..then some might say, "so get an m4 then" ..but bmw is such a slow company that an m4 wont be coming out until 2015/2016

so im really not sure what to do now...i was hoping this would be more upscale and create its own brand new segment but im so disappointed that it will start at such a low price. it really diminishes the exclusivity of the car ...they had such potential with this. i mean they were creating a brand new car and a brand new lineup of cars from scratch...and they slot it so low in the bmw lineup. they should have saved the 2 series for that and had the compete with the C-coupe/A5 and moved this more upscale

it will probably have a weak engine which disappoints me even further. ive been wanting a new car since early 2011 and i was holding off for this. the looks satisfy me but the engine options and low price point are bummers. im not waiting until 2015 for an M4, and the 6 series looks outdated with its old head light style, might have to look elsewhere for my next purchase now...

I bet the car fully loaded will be around $55k-$60k. I think if you want exclusivity than your being to cheap with your entry point and who the hell cares if other can afford the same car as you. If your happy than that's the only thing that matters.

I LOVE IT!

Why is the vid not in HD, and what's up with that cheesy ass music at the beginning

[liang]

Looks fantastic. I will definitely be getting one in the future.

Please tell me that autozone shit on the fender won't make the production model

[positiveions]

Is the coffee cup inside a concept too?

[BimmaDrew]

Holy hell, the live pictures look even better than the official pictures and I'm in LOVE! Jeez, I hope they don't change it too much...but I better let go of that thought because we all know it will be watered down for the masses. At least the main parts that count (the overall body and lights) should remain. Maybe the M-sport parts will closely resemble the concept here...

Man, I'm excited (which I wasn't with the E92)!!!

Is that a built in cup for your coffee?!

E92 M3 concept...Can you tell how well it translated to the production model?

[uhn2000]

Love the MT and all the leather! Sweet ride.

[e92miami]

Okay here is a list of things I know will not be in the production model but I wish would:
1. Rear view mirrors
2. Door handles
3. Low riding height/wheel gap
4. Wheels
5. The silver flares in the front and rear bumpers

Thinks I hope they remove but I bet will not.
1. Pep-boys side vents
2. Wicker cup holders and seats, this I think they did just for fun, they will not offer this. Thankfully!

Once they have this car sitting 1.5 inches higher, 18" wheels, the regular mirrors, door handles and the regular boring bumpers, it will look like a A5 with cooler lights. I hope I'm wrong because I love the concept but their history is on my side.

So you want it to be more expensive? More of a status symbol? To place you above the unwashed masses in their proletariat E92 donkey carts?

I'm not sure why you thought this 4-series would be anything other than what it is. Pretty much everyone knew that it would basically be a coupe version of the F30 series with some increased sportiness. You're surprised it's "so low in their lineup"? Surprised that it's a bit up from the 3 series but a couple steps down from the 6 series, given that it's a 4 series? It's exactly where it should be, and if it were "more upscale" as a base, they'd be shooting themselves in the left eye.

I don't know what "segment" you thought a more upscale version would "create", but I can assure you that segment already exists, regardless of which direction upscale you wish to move. Take a look at something from Porsche or Aston Martin or perhaps something with a prancing horse or a bull on the bonnet, and you may feel more comfortable. If you want more power and more "exclusivity", and don't want to wait for the M4, there's really no option for you here.

[speedfan]

my only criticism is the fugly front bumper & side vents.
Cant freaking wait to see the M3 & M4!

[dreamspeed]

Is that a 5 series or 6 series? It looks ginormous

[BigDadyCool]

the lower front n back dont do it for me but those damn rims i love

[georgere]

I hope they at least change the hood in the production model. IMO, it is missing aggressiveness

you read my MF mind ha ha hilarious

[luckistryke]

The front/rear low area of the bumpers looks too bizy bizy. The side vents could be more like the 1M.

Plus two.

Yuck to the gaudy front/rear bumper scoops. And look, another oversized scoop on the fender. And what's with the wicker leather interior accents? Trying too hard...

[KyleBerg]

Can't help myself, but I don't like the front and rear bumpers.

I think you are absolutely right, if these pictures are any indication: www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=767418

I would bet that the LEDs would be more like the f30 also.

The concept is so stunning that the production model is going to be a let down.
