First sighting apparently of the M4 coupe. Don't undertand why'd they drop the M3 name for the coupe.

For whatever reason, they're slavishly following the format set by Audi, only in reverse. Going forward, only sedans and wagons will have odd model designation (where in Audi-land they'd be even), and all coupes (including "grand coupes") and convertibles will have even numbers. This means the introduction of the 4-series for the F32/F33, and the M4 name comes along with that. Ironically enough, this means that if there IS a new M3 (which is not guaranteed at this point), it will only be available as a sedan.

I think it's stupid.

If BMW is breaking coupes out of sedan sales with a 4 series vs. 3 series, it will be very interesting to see those sales numbers vs. years passed. C Class sedan may very well outsell the 3 Series.

dropping the M3 moniker?! that's just silly

This. Don't hear people complaining about it though (#doublestandard)

I really want to see the coupe. If anyone has inspected the sedan in person the front end is very sculpted and coupe-like. Not a fan of the chrome leading to the headlights but mahn what a curvy front end for a sedan.

Can't wait to see it on the 2 door.

ok, i'll bite. yeah looks like that PROTOTYPE front sits a bit high, but gaps on production cars look good to me.

as for double standard, i ALSO think the gap/stance/fitment on the Lexus IS is great. it's the one lexus that doesn't have its stock wheels sitting so far IN the wheel well.

It's exciting to see the next generation of these vehicles. Famous monikers like M, AMG, RS, F, R duking it out for refined luxury sport crowns. The ultimate GT title.

Agreed! It's going to be cool to see this car on the road!
