Pebble Beach (USA), 16 August 2013 – BMW makes it like the idea of ​​four: just before the presentation of the production model show the Bavarians a study of the M4. Also likely to be visually pretty close for a preliminary model of the series as the coupĂ© version. Unfortunately, BMW has still sharply with further details.


Geheimsache engine

is still secret, which will power the strongest quad. One thing is probably that it is not the freisaugende eight-cylinder from the predecessor. More likely, a turbocharged inline six-cylinder. The performance is likely to be slightly more than what provides direct competition from Audi and Mercedes. The Audi RS5 coupe has 450 hp, the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe 457 hp. We suspect that the engine will make the M4 460-470 hp. He should not be a little faster than the opponent, but at least one in this class prestige as much as hard facts in the performance. The latter will probably turn a touch better than its predecessor with 420 HP.


Between oldies

presented the study is in the midst of award winning sports cars beauties of bygone days on the Concours d’Elegance Pebble Beach on 18 August 2013. Understated elegance was not first in the specifications of the study. Although BMW dispensed huge spoiler, but the details of the M4 becomes even something as martial on the quad coupe with the genuine Yamaha M package. Front of the air supply was given high priority – as well frequently dispensed on BMW fog lights. Instead, the brakes get even more cooling air. Side gills to allow improved flow around the wheel arches. Front splitter, rear diffuser and roof are made of CFRP, of which BMW promises a lower weight. To what extent this was successful, the technical data of the standard model must demonstrate.

A bonnet with power dome there was ever the M3. Whether the survey makes it into the series, is still open. Indeed it is clear that this time a four-pipe exhaust system is installed. While that is not exactly understated, but customers want it well that way. A rear spoiler will be if at all, only to have an extra charge. The study is available on 20-inch wheels, the standard assembly will probably start at 19 inches. Surcharge Bayern then provide 20 -, maybe 21-inch wheels.


New M3?

selling the M4 will probably come in the spring of 2014. We expect that he stands before the Geneva Motor Show 2014 with the German dealers, although BMW says this is currently nothing concrete. The M3 coupe cost in the end almost 70,000 euros – not it be assumed that BMW has big ambitions to undercut this mark with the M4. The end of the M3 is not sealed by the way: It’s quite possible that BMW is struggling to do so by offering the car with the engine of the M4
