Makes me wish I could have waited for this car, but I need a sedan anyways. Very excited for the unveiling regardless.

im curious to know if that bumper would fit on the f30's we have... wish we could see clearer picture

Probably 54K for the M Sport 435 with bells and whistles. I'm guessing 70K(optimistic) for the F82 M4 w/out market adjustment. I have a tough decision come 2015.

I bet it's a little more. I remember seeing maxed out sport line 335's for $55K.

Maxed out M-sports are more like $60k.

Tell her it has 4 doors; 2 on the sides, 1 hood and 1 trunk.

Did anyone else notice that the 435i didn't have a sunroof? As a guy with a long torso and shorter arms, I need every inch of headroom. The forced addition of a sunroof has caused me to dismiss the F30 and F32 with the six cylinder engine.

Can anyone tell me if the sunroof requirement is specific to the US (and not this presumably German model) or if the photo would actually be reflective of the availability of decent headroom in a 435i?

You are the type of guy BMW is building the Gran Coupe for.

Your solution is the GC then.
Not a bad solution either.

I could be wrong but Audi doesn't offer xenon standard at least on the a4,even tho I agree they should be standard but it's just another way to make more money

Hopefully the body roll isn't as bad as it looks in these pics. Perhaps it looks worse b/c there might be extra clading/camo on the front end

I should know this, but would someone be kind enough to explain the distinction between BMW's xenons and LEDs? I get the tech differences but, in terms of application, at a glance these look like conventional xenon coronas.

I hadn't even realised BMW were using full LED tech and presumed xenons would still be the top option on the F32.

Look at the closeup of the optional LED headlights on the 4 series in the following gallery (the first pic also pictures both xenon headlights (car on left) and LED headlights (car on right):

Newest F32 4 Series Coupe Spy Pics

Then compare it to xenon headlights (below), you'll see a big difference in the main light - xenon light is a round bulb while the LED is a bar.

LEDs are brigther, use less energy, and have much longer life.

335i (F30) is compared to an S4. The S4 appears to cost more, but it also offers more (real leather, xenons, all wheel drive, heated seats, rear seats folding).

The 335i coupe was compared to an S5 (B8 2008-2012 model), although the price of the car was pinned between a 335i coupe and an M3 (the RS5 was available in Europe, the M3 and RS5 were the competitors of each other.)

For 2013, the S5 dropped the V8 engine for the V6 Supercharger. They also lowered the price (roughly $1500-2000). So the car is a closer competitor to the current 335i coupe and the upcoming 435i. The S5 always offered AWD, Xenons, real leather seating, heated seats, and rear folding seats.
