Spied: 2013 BMW M4 Coupe
—by Teamspeed Spies

Ever since the new BMW 3-Series saloon was released earlier this year, we've wondered what the coupe version (to be known as the 4-Series) and its M-version would look like. Well now, thanks to these exclusive spy-photos, we can imagine how the M4 will look. Taking the front end style of the 3-Series, BMW has given the M4 a lower nose, flared arches and the trademark M-GmbH side vents. The rear end sees a shape like the current coupe which is a fair guess.

The new M3 and M4 models were recently confirmed by President of BMW North America, Mr. Ludwig Willisch, to be powered by an in-line six-cylinder turbo engine. It is expected to have two or three turbos and develop around 450 hp. M fans will be pleased to hear that though a V6 turbo engine was considered, BMW decided to stick with the traditional BMW layout of an in-line six cylinder engine.

Man it's gotta be a shit move to rename the coupe M4. There goes 25 years of badge building.

Seriously!

Agreed, seems like a bonehead move. Probably not as boneheaded as fake engine noise on the stereo, but boneheaded nevertheless.

Yea I dunno about this M4 business. So we are never going to see a 2 door M3 any more? wtf

What a heffer.

At least they are honest in not calling it a true M3

Yes, they should've made that change between E30 and E36 ;)

The M3 is dead. Long live the real M3.
