bmw m3 m4 images leaked ahead of official debut

Most of the details regarding the new BMW M3 and M4 are pretty well-known already, but a new round of official images has been leaked ahead of the cars’ North American PR releases. Supposedly, this will be the lightest M3 in three generations, with an all-time high horsepower and (particularly) torque rating courtesy of twin turbos and a completely revised in-line six engine. Gallery after the jump.

Huh? Along with everyone else, I took pictures of the "Concept BMW M4 Coupe" that look just like this at the Tokyo Motor Show two weeks ago, so what's the big whoop? http://www.tokyo-motorshow.com/en/gallery/photo/01_030_BMW/index003.html

It's bizarro world now with BMW aping Lexus with those horrendous Predator gills. Ruins the car for me in fact and I too have a hard time reconciling that hood's cut line. This was to be the M3 that I bought new and did Euro delivery but I'm more likely to go for a 328d wagon at this point due to my lifestyle now. BMW really didn't do anything to tempt me styling-wise with M3 though. And did BMW bring back Phoenix Yellow on that coupe? Otherwise known as Baby Diarrhea.

  The hood cut line is supposedly dictated by pedestrian safety yada yada yada, but if BMW's designers/engineers can't come up with a better implementation that that...well... And yeah, the rest of the car is just way too much boy racer. I thought the Germans were supposed to be reserved, design-wise. A tiny bit of restraint would have paid big dividends here. Instead, we get a new M that looks exactly like Hamann or AC Schnitzer took a giant shit on it, with the color to match.

  @Bazza Hood cut line is cost cutting. BMW did not want to stamp the hood and curved grill in one piece (E39 E46).

Jrhurren Unions and ownership need to work towards the common good together. Shawn Fain is a clown who would love to drive the companies out of business (or offshored) just to claim victory.
Redapple2 Tadge will be replaced with a girl. Even thought -today- only 13% of engineer -newly granted BS are female. So, a Tadge level job takes ~~ 25 yrs of experience, I d look at % in 2000. I d bet it was lower. Not higher. 10%. (You cannot believe what % of top jobs at gm are women. @ 10%. Jeez.)

TheEndlessEnigma Of course they should unionize. US based automotive production component production and auto assembly plants with unionized memberships produce the highest quality products in the automotive sector. Just look at the high quality products produced by GM, Ford and Chrysler!
