Default New BMW M4 Coupe

Wow! Saw a M4 the other day on the road, turns out its someone on a local forum. I totally forgot about a Z4 coupe... this is totally out of left field for me (and I normally am up on things thanks to you guys)





0-60 in 4.9 seconds. 343 Horsepower. Looks pretty sharp! The rear end looks alot better then the normal Z4's, the taillights look alot better. $50,000 new with a bunch of options. Pretty sweet

There was a thread in Car Chat last week about this car and the M Roadster (the Z4 M soft top).

When I saw the "Test Drive" show on SPEED where they covered the M cars, I kept telling myself... "The rear end of that M Coupe looks like a Ferrari." I am still conviced... because that *** end looks like a Ferrari!

I don't like the the design of how the top and the rear meets, but I wouldn't mind owning one.

I would lighten up those mufflers, they look like bagpipes below, though I do like that they have twin outlets on each side.

Other than that, one nice car.

Blahhh ugly just ugly. I will agree with magneto's post,, waay to many lines, its like someone folded up the car up multiple time to see what they can come up with and out popped this thing, with its ferrari rear glass on top of a bangle bootie.

I would give that distinction to the M4 roadster, but the M4 coupe is a close second

They are basically the same car lol, but to me the sloping roof line of the coupe makes it look slightly better . . .
