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.

 

hmmm not true, all m3's were nice even the e92

 

Looks boring already
