Would anyone consider buying an M4 down the line?

I think it looks badass. If they pump this with flared guards, better and wheels tyres, LSD and suspension with a weapon twin turbo engine - It will be a real force.

I reckon it looks awesome!

Can't wait for the Msport version...

but yeh it is getting bigger and bigger unfortunately.

pcockley · 11-08-2011, 05:17 PM

The only thing that looks 'bigger', I think is the bonnet. It seems to be longer

BBK · 11-08-2011, 05:34 PM

I think it looks great too, a good step from the current shape. And if it comes with a turbo 6 or 8, then it would be awesome!

RaihaX · 11-08-2011, 06:33 PM

Still undecided if I like the look - need more angles!

JB4-335 · 11-08-2011, 07:04 PM

I like it only if it comes in a V8 twin snail version.

The butt looks too big. I like the sharper downturn/flatter boot on the rear window on the current 3 and 1 series coupes...

Zuzu · 11-08-2011, 07:46 PM

I love it...

MikeVictor · 11-08-2011, 08:02 PM

I thought M3/4 donk was rumoured to be a tri-turbo v6?

david.orr · 11-08-2011, 08:14 PM

The photoshopped images do not look quite right to me. The front end is raking right whilst the rear end is flat hence giving an awkward twisted feel about the car. If the end result is anything close to the new mesomorphic 6 coupe, then I think it's a good step up from the current M3 coupe, notwithstanding the fact that the 'M3' may yet be bulkier yet again.

1. Looks like A5 in the rear, which I don't love.

White M4 if its a TT6/8 will be in my garage if it looks close to that

The current 3 series has a longer wheelbase but isn't that much heavier than the 1 series. I'm sure the marginal weight difference will be offset with a tuneable engine with at least 450hp. Basically a noticeable step up from the 1M.

I don't like the photoshop. However, I am sure the real thing will look a lot better.
