I have to say, the latest pictures of that white 4 Series M Sport (not actually photos but from the visualiser) look very good indeed.

^Levi the stupid thing was that I was ever labelled an Audi fanboy because the list of cars and brands I've owned was proof positive that I wasn't, if anything it proved I was a car nut rather than brand lead.

BTW if I can be labelled as anything it would be someone who prefers AWD.

I'm constantly told I'm a VAG fan by some morons on here just because I have three VAG cars when in actual fact I'm a BMW fan through and through and always have been. A lot more than Audi too. It just so happens I own three VAG products at the moment.

I'm a car fan first and foremost. But try telling that to people who think "he owns VAG products, he MUST be an Audi fan boy!!"

F*ck it, I'd opt for the Luxury line, in Orion Silver (What a fancy name. Probably invented to make you feel better because you picked beige ). But, I still prefer 3 Series (Sedan), over all other iterations.

Klier, your a moron

Betty, you happen to own two of my favorite VAG products. And I honestly know you are a BMW fan at heart

too similar to 3 series sedan

I liked this from day one, but it really is growing more and more on me, the things I wasn't crazy about as well.

Just look at it

/So Levi can't post here, but he still comes here to give negative ratings? Alright.

^I am more excited about that chunky looking 2 .

Well said. I wonder what the weight difference is. If it's significant that might be an interesting race.

 

[aleks_16]

^Looks like Titanium silver

 

[W201]

^ I think 4 is Tit. Silver?

The 4 is in a white colour.

Real life pics makes the 4er look even more sublime. But as Sunny and Marley have stated, I'm more intrigued by the 2er, and, yes, if there's a significant weight difference, well, then that's the ticket right there.

I've one question for Enl and Scott. When others are dramatically reducing weight on their replacements why hasn't BMW?

Give examples of the others you speak of - I'm curious to know who they are and in which context...

Same answer as why BMW aren't offering all-LED tail lights or / and LED front blinkers on some cars: COST SAVING!

Raw alu is more expensive, alu manipulation (tooling, energy needed etc) is more expensive, repairing alu parts is more expensive ... That's why BMW opted for high-strength steel instead for the body-in-white, and invested rather in steel presses & molds, rather going alu. But they are moving on slowly ... new RWD modular platform is reported to use more alu, and some high-end cars will probably also receive CFRP parts.

Why others are reducing the weight more? Because their cars were heavier than BMW cars in general. So, they have to catch up ... yet unfortunately BMW are not keeping the advantage gap but rather staying still.

Btw, who & where exactly is reducing the weight dramatically? Apart from A8 & Jags I can't see any other example here. Yet. Yes, there are some rumors about future products but let's wait to see what exactly will be realized in the end.

Also mind that brands within large automotive concerns can afford to use more expensive materials & tech due to savings in other departments (eg. engine & platform R&D etc) & due to savings in purchasing due economies of scale. BMW AG is rather a small automotive company which have to be very smart & careful how to operate to stay independent: and being highly profitable & having high revenues is keeping them independent.

Btw, BMW i cars will feature extreme weight reduction of body & chassis. Unfortunately the batteries for eDrive then add significant weight to a light body construction.

But be sure in the future the BMW i tech incl the materials used will trickle down to core BMW brand models as well. Especially the high-end ones.

The 3er is Glacier Silver and the 6er Gran Coupe is Moonstone.

Titanium Silver is now discontinued.
