2014 BMW M4 Convertible leaked?

 

[SCOTT27]

Definitely fake . Yas Marina Blue is the only blue.

Front wheels...Sexy. Rear wheels... blah.

The new M3/4 definitely needs a sexy wheel option.

 

[SCOTT27]

You already know how it goes.

 

[Merc1]

When will this be presented?

M

When will this be presented?

Later this year, but we will end the year as it begun for BMW M....With "Twins".

 

[Merc1]

Twins huh? M4 Cabrio and ???????

M

 

[Beemer B773ER]

I'm guessing by Twins he might be referring to the new X5/6M's.

 

[Cabasse0]

M4 grancoupe ?

Latest pictures of the BMW M4 Cabrio with minimal disguise means launch not that far away.
Our South African friends should check the coasts of Cape Town and neighbouring Swakopmund for any scenes of media activity.

Soon the family will be complete. And if the 4er Gran Coupe is a huge success we should see an M4 within eighteen months.

@SCOTT27 I'm a little worried that AMG has the M-division chasing their tails trying to proliferate models. I think it's a bit of a shame. If M-division is to imitate AMG, I would rather they go in the direction of developing an independent platform, ala the SLS, or the upcoming C190/GT or whatever it's going to be called. But then that is not the profitable route to take.

I would say that on proliferation not only BMW but other manufacturers are there or about to catch up.
Entering new markets has allowed high profit, high performance vehicles from premium manufacturers.
Why let dogma get in your way when there is money to be made. As there is a customer for every single one.
In 2003 there were 3 M models. Now there stands 8 . AMG is over that figure.
But everyone will have more as markets downsize and upsize for high performance concepts.

The same strategy that exists for BMWi Will be mirrored with BMW M. With not only stand alone concepts. But in engineering , design and development.

Thanks to the utilisation of material technology at a significant lower cost. BMW can be excessive with CFRP because they are producing it for volume. Other manufacturers are not therefore their costs are higher.
One such project aims to combine high performance and Eco technology with lightweight materials in a car that will be more than a fraction of the cost of today's cars with similar specifications.
Specifications and ideas are currently being thrown in all directions from all departments involved. It's to celebrate a very special anniversary but to look at the future.

That looks just awful.

M4 Gran Coupe? Show it and I will vote, not impressed so far. M3 F80 is the best looking so far and it is still to reach the level of M3 E90.

That looks just awful.

What does exactly look so bad? I think it's a sick looking 4 seat cabrio!

Hmmm. You are on the first page praising how good it looks. What made you change your mind?

I know I should have defended my opinion better. It was after a long night being the designated driver. Here it goes:

I don't know exactly what happened, I haven't been following the unveiling of the next generation M3/M4 as thoroughly as I have done in the past with other BMW models. Anyway, this angle does little justice to the M4 convertible. It looks like there is at least 3, maybe even 4, different cars squished into one. My biggest problem is the lack of flow in the side profile. Granted that the color and contrast from the snowy background doesn't help, it just isn't pleasing to the eye in my opinion.

For those who have seen my opinions in the past know that I hate the new "copy the same bonnet on every model" bonnet à la Audi and this is no exception. I guess I was deeply disappointed to see BMW also annihilate the looks of the middle and rear part of the car, at least what comes to the side profile from this 45 degree angle. And no, my opinion is in no way affected by the M6 GC which is the most appealing looking BMW in the current model range.
