The sizzle in the Steak
Looking good.
The "gill" vent looks better from the rear shot, but still looks out of place in the front shot.
I need more pics

I like what I'm seeing. Definitely looks better than the F30. That design on the rear bumper is a little funky, though.

Good design and should keep the BMW fans happy. The only things I don't like are the rear bumper and shitty German cupholders.

I really like the front lip...we'll see if that stays or not.

looks pretty good. I like it. I think it will be a ltl more subtle in final trim like the rear bumper since theres a lot going on there which will probably make it look better.

Here's a question.
Do you think the M4 will essentially have no history even though it is a 3 series and only the name changed.
Cause when you buy an M3, you are also buying into its great history. Do you think some of that is lost with the name change of the M4?? And would you choose and M3 over that reason?? (which means you are getting the sedan) Lets assume you didnt need the 4 doors

I don't think they will do away with the 3-series name. I think as a company they value heritage and history and will stick with it.

no cause it will make it so confusing for the consumer then, so i'm sure it will be M4. I think at least

M3 will be the F80 Sedan
M4 will be the F82 Coupe
Confirmed.
Personally I dont think most people will care as long it can perform well. They will complain for now though.

Those renders look good, but, so much about this car I hate just on principle. Turbochargers? M4? Blech. They should have made it look like the renders but punched the S65 out to 4.2 or 4.4 liters and bumped the power and torque. That would have been a proper encore to the E92 IMO.

Huh. I'm not crazy about this new 3-series or that recent crop of M4 pics. I preferred this concept:

Production version of the 4-series. Damn.
http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=818697
Caught during a night time photo shoot is this production F32 4 Series Coupe, which gives us the first ever look at the final (and uncovered) 4 Series!
This production 435i coupe still looks unique, sleek and sporty despite its toned down front fascia, rear bumper and side view mirrors designs (compared to the concept model). The headlights seen here are the optional full LED headlights (though not hexagonal shaped liked the concept) and the rear tail lights do retain its upswept tail shape from the concept 4 Series.
This appears to be a Sport Line 4 Series model. The wheels are the optional 19" Style 407 wheels.
As expected, we now see the functional air breather vents in the front fender, which began appearing with the 3 Series GT model and will also appear on the upcoming F15 X5, making this a signature BMW design feature going forward.
Production of the 4 Series coupe begins this July and the 4 Series convertible begins production in November. Dealer ordering guides (for their demo models) have revealed the available lines, options, and packages that will be made available [see dealer order guides].
The US will get the 428i and 435i coupes, in RWD and xDrive versions. In its first model year (2014), the 435i coupe will be powered by the same N55 engine as the current F30 335i sedan (with the same power output) and the 428i is likewise powered by the same N20 engine as the current F30 328i sedan.
Although the first model year 435i won't see a power bump in the form of a successor engine to the N55 motor, we will see it with a power upgrade in 2014-2015 *if* BMW releases the 4 Series Gran Coupe in 2014 with a more powerful engine (just as they debuted a more powerful 650i N63Tu engine in the 650i Gran Coupe, which is now filtering down to the 650i and upcoming 550i LCI models).
The M4 Coupe (F82) model comes some time in 2015.
